Go Where They Dance

I am still in the if not now.....when? mode. Pictured is a stormy pre-sunset picture from Sylvan Lake in Bradley Beach. I have been out and walked by the same site three nights in a row. Right by there is Avon Swimming Pool. for more then 45 years I have passed the sign that says Water Ballet usually with a date in August. This year I knew one of the participants and got the date, and put it on my calender. They postponed it until last night. About fifty years ago I spent almost every Friday night at 11:30 pm on CBS watching MGM musicals. I especially loved watching Ester Williams who brought water ballet to the big screen. So, I was always curious to see one in person. So, last night was the night! I took 30 second videos of my favorites and now kinda feel funny sharing them on social media. Because, it was performed for the people in attendance. I really loved the theme, which was outer space. The music along with the girl's performance didn't disappoint. I could tell they all practiced hard. And, it involved a lot of teamwork. I really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed seeing my friend who used to own "Country By the Sea" in Avon. And, I still remember working with her the one day and she was off to see her daughter who is the coach. In conversation last night I found out she was the original organizer through their recreation department. It was a great evening and so nice to be entertained on a beautiful night. The music is great and will share some snippets in my stories on insta and facebook today. Thank you to all the hardwork to went into putting on the water ballet.
