+ <h1>Dancing the Shag & Two Left Feet</h1>
+ <p>
+ Not all of my posts are huge, and they probably shouldn't be. Amy and I
+ had a really great time yesterday at Two Left Feet Dance Studio,
+ learning more about how to dance the Carolina Shag in preparation for
+ our wedding (which is in less than 20 days)! An enormous swing band is
+ going to play all of our favorites from the brass band/swing era, and
+ one of the easiest dances to do to that music is the Shag. I wrote a
+ paper on the Shag a few years ago for school but never actually learned
+ how to do it. The steps are simple for us to remember and it's easy
+ enough to add flair or mix it up so we look like we know what we're
+ doing during our first dance.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ We also got out to see the new Lion King remake and I can honestly say
+ it was worth it. If anyone's a Lion King purist, it's Amy. It's easily
+ been her favorite movie since she was a toddler, and to see it
+ tastefully redone almost 25 years after it was first released was
+ thoroughly enjoyable. There were minor alterations to literal sentences
+ in the script that all added some context to things that were always
+ kind of assumed in the original (clarification on Scar's backstory,
+ etc.). I did however feel like they were trying to throw Beyonce lines
+ the way a middle-schooler tries to turn a 500-word paper into a 700-word
+ paper. Regardless, it's definitely re-living the classic, not re-hashing
+ it.
