I Just Want to Dance

This song is about a young girl who tells her mother that she doesn't want to get married. She just wants to dance.

I wrote this song when I started to take swing dance lessons at the Kittery Dance Hall. I hoped they would give me a better understanding the music that I love to play. After all, it was the dance music of its day. While I did get this deeper appreciation, I never expected to meet so many wonderful people who enjoy the music as much as I do. What a delightful surprise! Some of them joined us in this video.
