"Do You Talk as a Rule While Dancing?"

Anyone know what movie that line is from?!  It happens to be the show that I watch when I'm sick.  I don't know why, maybe it's the relaxing colors, the beautiful music, the handsome Mr. Darcy (as in from the movie, not from past posts :))

I was at a dance on Saturday night, and this line kept popping up in my head.  I've never been a fan of dances.  While watching people dancing, I thought to myself that I wish I knew how to dance like that, (you know the real dancing, not the jogging in certain shapes and thinking you're dancing), but then I thought, do I really?  Not so much!  I mean it would be fun, to be able to do something awesome while at a dance, but there are just some things that are way uncomfortable to me. 

I remember going to dances during jr. high and high school, not like the date dances, because obviously that wouldn't have the awkwardness, because you came together, but the other dances or stake dances, and just finding them really awkward.  Did you have to talk the whole time or could you just dance?  No one seemed to know what to do. Well, that's sort of the same thing now!

On Saturday, I was dancing with one of my friends, and we both mentioned how we felt awkward in this sort of setting, and I said, "Hey, at least we can be awkward together."  We continued to talk and dance, and it was quite enjoyable!

Then there was someone that asked me to dance, we have an uncomfortable past, and he kept talking.  I was right back there in jr. high, when I'd be dancing with someone I was uncomfortable with, and the whole song I kept thinking to myself... "let's not talk, let's not talk, when's this song going to be over?" 

So, I'd say yes to talking, just as long as you're smart about who you're dancing with :)
