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. -- cgit v1.2.3
