We know some of you can drink, but do MNspeakers dance? One of my co-workers is co-hosting a night of dancing at Matty B’s (yes, this guy) place on 354 N Wabasha St. in St. Paul on Saturday, May 27, 2006. It’s a fundraiser for asthma research and programs, and the $10 cover buys you a night of swing dancing, salsa music and tango lessions at 8:30 p.m.
Exclusive deals, featured events, and the latest from MNSpeak, delivered straight to your inbox.
Mr. Noodle, I didn't say it was sexualized. I said, and I'll try to be more clear this time: "It would be interesting to hear what Vonn...
KC, after reading that, I have even more trouble understanding how you can defend sex offenders so much. He manipulated her, took advantage of her ...
Like many of us (myself included), Vonn is sensative to comments about her weight.
No hint of controversy on Vonn's offical Facebook fan site, or on her Twitter account. So I would think she's OK with it.
@spaceman: But Vonn isn't some newbie freshman athlete. And, really, the pose is not as blatantly sexual as some other SI covers have been. Do you ...
It would be interesting to hear what Vonn has to say about it -- I'm going to make a guess that SI didn't approach her with "we want to do a cover ...
You're a prude, kwatt. ;-)
As I commented on deBlog, it was nice of Jason to give me a nod as the original namer. I love the idea of using the name (and terrific graphic...

Well, I used to be a dance instructor at Arthur Murray, and, of course, I’m something of an afficinado of old fad dances, so I might just show up.

Yay for swing dancing!

My girlfriend and I once took tango lessons, during which she discovered that I am afflicted with Navin Johnson Syndrome. With apologies to Rudolph Valentino (I do appreciate the 2-for-1’s, if not the BBQ), the tango is once again forbidden.

Sorry to be curmudgeonly, but is this an event posting now? The asthmadance and IFP’s rummage sale–both worthy events!–maybe could be posted in the event calendar, lest we get overrun by promotions? Just sayin’.

“Waitasecond. Tango lessions? That can’t be good!”
Tango lessions are one of the signs of that highly contagious disease, Dance Fever. According to the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security Handbook on Dance Fever, there is no known cure for this dance sensation that is sweeping the nation. That is, it could sweep the nation, if it mutates into a form dangerous to non-hipsters. Citizens should stock up on canned goods, water and duct tape, just in case.
The very young and tragically hip are especially at risk of Dance Fever. However, studies have shown no link between wearing white belts and little black glasses and this disease.
