Dancing the Shag & Two Left Feet

+

+ 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. +

+ +

+ 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. +
