Lee Ann Womack: I Hope You Dance

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance.... I hope you dance.


Halloween is over and the days are getting colder, so what are you going to do for some fun??.... Looking for a way to get out, meet some great people?? Your hosts BrownEyesSmiling and Ms Dreams would like you to join us for coffee and dancing on Friday November 13th; hope you’re not superstitious!! We’ll meet for coffee between 7:30 and 8:30 at the Tim Hortons at 685 Fischer-Hallman Road Kitchener, near Ottawa Street. The POF dance starts at 8:30, so we will then move across the street to Trinity Hall, at 700 Fischer-Hallman Road.

For new people, the coffee meet and greet is a great way to put names to a few faces before the dance. If you've been out before, then here's your opportunity to help welcome the newbies.

If you haven’t been out to a PlentyOfFish event before, then make this your first. Be sure to introduce yourself and we will do our best to make you feel welcome.

If you're between the ages of 19 and 99, what are you waiting for?? Dress up or come casual, bring a friend or come alone!! Hit that sign up button and join us for an evening of fun. If you have any questions, just message one of your hosts…

Please print out the name tag provided in the link below to get the special POF cover charge of $5. Actually, any name tag will do, so make your own and be creative… See you there!!

Hi Jackie, I don't hire the DJ's, Trinity Hall looks after that. I can certainly take feedback to Trinity Hall. I wasn't aware that requests were not being honoured, so I will make sure that Trinity is aware of that.

For those who have come out to the dance or are planning on coming out for the first time, please let me know what kind of songs you want to hear. I'll put together a list and approach the organizers to pass on to the DJ.

Regarding the music, different Dj every week and they have there own style. For not having your selections maybe ok, but if people are asking for the same over and over as a Dj myself i should replace that by my next event if it skips. Working on a Singles Dance party in Cambridge in the new years. See you at the next dance....

Hi Browneyessmiling
I think playing more current music is better . Take a look at the dance floor the next time a 60's or 70's tune is played and when a current song is played. It seems to me the average age at these dances is 50ish. We didn't grow up with 60's and 70's music.Maybe there should be another dance for the older crowd. I love the dances at Trinity when POF attends. Great time and looking forward to another great nite on the 13th. Keep up the good work.

Well Jeddor, I am 50ish and I did grow up with music from the 60's and 70's and I love the 50's. I also like most of the newer stuff. I can tell you right now we'll never please everyone so maybe the key is to have more variety and ask that the DJ should be more receptive to requests.

Regardless, the dance floor is full for most of the night. Thank you for letting me know that you like the dances when POF is there. It means a lot!!

Played upstairs at the Legion for a wedding and was asked to play there, can't afford me. Curling will look into, thanks. Know i have to do my homework that's y it's not going to be until after the new years. For the people there you just have to ask for your request and hope you get to here it. Dance floor is always busy and were are all there to meet and talk to other people. All i can say is i miss playing at LULUS and having the best entertainment ever, country, 50's, Colin James, Temptations, Bower, Peter Noone, to Octoberfest, Cheers and let's enjoy and dance together.

I am planning to attend this event for the very first time! I do hope I have a great time.

Anyway I just wanted to say that I am in my early 30's and I love 50's, 60's and 70's music. Like browneyessmiling said a DJ can't please everyone. As for having a different dance for the older crowd...I disagree totally! When dancing and chatting and just meeting new people there is no age limit in my eyes. Sometimes I even prefer the company of the older crowd then to my age group!

Anyway, have not really chatted with anyome here yet but look forward to meeting you all. See you on Friday!

JackieO, I will pass on the information to Trinity Hall. Thanks for the input.

Kathleen, glad to hear you are coming on the 13th. Please introduce yourself when you arrive and we'll introduce you to as many other POFer's as we can. There will be a test at the end of the evening!! Just kidding!!!

To Purrfect and Debbie, I'm glad that you are enjoying the dances, music and all. After all, the aim is to have fun and socialize.

Ken, hope you do make it out and that we can help put the weeks worries out of mind for a few hours.

Just four more sleeps peeps!! Looking forward to Friday!!

Enjoy the great weather until then

I agree about the D.J I spoke to the bartender about it. There should be(( country music.))
And more slow dance. I would love to but a request for James Otto (Just Starting Loving You) Maddy. More Country Songs are needed...

Well, one or two country songs is ok, but let's not clear the dance floor. I think the concensus is that the top hits of the day are preferred as the dance floor fills up quickly when they are played.

I have talked to Trinity and they have agreed to talk to their DJ's and ask them to be more accommodating to requests. As for what music should be played, the best answer I can give is it needs to be a bit of everything and whatever fills the dance floor.

The crowd mix can vary from dance to dance, so there is no one right kind of music. After all, the reason we all come out is to socialize, dance and have fun. Just two more sleeps until Friday. See you all there and let's have a great evening!!

Hey Marimba
I'm with you too. Of course we're there to dance so we will dance with whatever is playing. But if you took a survey I'm sure most people would choose current music.
I danced to Footloose 20 years ago - getting tired of it now. We're not old so don't play music like we're old!
