Day 19: A song you slow danced to at a school dance
It was grade 5, my cool friend pushed me into 'dating' because she knew someone needed to break the ice in the classroom full of hormones. He and I were the first but a flurry of boyfriends and girlfriends appeared within a few days. I can't remember the song that night but I do remember the trembling hand against my waist and my barely moving feet. And the eyes.. the only boy/girl couple touching while dancing. So I'm picking what most certainly would have been playing around that time.
Kiss from a Rose - Seal
 
Sometimes I wish I could be the confident person I was in 7th grade, because I am not that way now. I was fearless. I went up to a boy I had a crush on in church and asked if he could sing because I was trying to get a little group together. He said no, so I grabbed a bucket and told him to carry a tune in it. That's how you knew I liked you; if I teased you. I don't know why we never went on a date...
I wish I knew 7th grade you.

Actually, I am considerably older, so it is very probably best that I never met 7th grade you...that would have been awkward.
 
Day 19: A song you slow danced to at a school dance

I don’t ever recall, energetic music being played at school dances. Maybe more rock stuff. I can’t recall any of the songs except for this one, which was always the last dance. We would pair off into couples and do the β€œgrope and shuffle” - sort of a hug while turning in circles.

I was a bad dancer.

Commodores - Easy
 
Day 19: A song you slow danced to at a school dance

Funny I remember singing yesterdays song and dancing with Alexis but I don’t remember what I danced to with Alexis. Memories are weird.

But I do remember dancing this at my prom.

You danced with the Amazon voice app? No, that's Alexa. I can't remember who Alexis is.

Once again, I never went to a school dance plus I'm not really a slow dancing type of person but if school age me were to have done so, it would have been to a golden oldie only. Actually, that probably hasn't changed. Luckily other things have πŸ˜‚

I’m totally picturing middle school you with your hands on your hips demanding the DJ or band play Frank and every other kid in the school going β€œWTF?!?”

I think you and @lavendersilk would have been and adorable and dangerous squad.
 
Day 19: A song you (never)slow danced to at a school dance


R.E.M. - Perfect Circle
i never went to a school dance. Ever.
Had i gone, i would have hidden in the corner and, more than likely, sobbed as this played.
Just indescribably aching and beautiful - it would be the perfect song for a moment when you take that special person in your arms and the whole world stops dead around you, only they exist... them and this song. The lights would sparkle from the mirrorball and you slowly moved, in a perfect circle of your own.
Standing too soon...
