Hand Jive Part II April 9

One more from the Oldies Dance - and it is technically a PAD for today since this one was actually taken after midnight. I never did find out his name, so the paper probably won't use it, but his expression made me laugh. He alternately stood there, watching, trying so very hard to remember all the hand movements. After a few false starts, he got into it for about three or four rounds of hand jive - when abruptly he switched to patty cake and then left the floor looking totally embarrassed. Tomorrow is another day - no more dance pics.

He appears to truly enjoy himself. You did an excellent job capturing the moment again. Names? Seems like you had to much fun snapping away.

Great shot. Perfectly desaturated/contrasted. Love it.

Hilarious. I stopped dancing about 15 years ago for this very reason.

LOL! I love it.. he's got that concentrated look to him.
I've found that's the worst part of this job.. getting those damn names.. Grrrrrr
