Name*: Alene
How I know her: Blind date set up through our common friend Michelle.
About every 6 months or so I get the urge to go swing dancing. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not that great at it, but I still like swing dancing every once in a while. So when I found out that Alene used to swing dance all the time, I decided it would be an appropriate activity for our date. After eating (Hires Big H), we went to the Murray Arts Center for some good old-fashioned dancing. We quickly learned that we both know roughly the same steps and not much else (though we did teach/remind each other of certain dance moves). Whenever they played a style of dance that we don't know very well (for instance, the tango), we would just make up our own dance and goof around. It was very comfortable and carefree.
Best Quality: She totally knew how to dance the guy's part, and taught me a few moves with it. And when she wasn't teaching me new steps, she was the perfect follower.
Highlight of Date: On the ride home, some deer were crossing the street. She saw them first (I thought that it was smoke from a car wreck) and exclaimed "Oh deer!" I totally didn't get it.
What I Admired: She was so honest and genuine about everything (which can be hard to do on a blind date). I think that's what made it so that there were no awkward moments.
The word I'd use to describe the date is: lighthearted
Her favorite swing style is west coast.
