Elegant Boredom

“All is fair in love and war, and this is a revolution!” – Fred Astaire (Top Hat, 1935)

The actor, dancer, choreographer, and broadway sensation of the early 1900’s is the epitome of what a gentleman should be. Swift on his feet, kind in the heart, and one who made the lives around him graceful. Along with his adored scene partner Ginger Rogers, Astaire made classics; must see movies for my generation. Their collection of films showed the formalities that our current society should have. The timelessness of chivalry and the way both men and women displayed this as a daily routine. It seemed as if times were easier and more pleasant during the times of Astaire; regardless if these films showed the wealthier side of things.

So, my mother and I just decided to take ballroom dancing classes, I will keep you Boredists informed on where and how the classes go. Keep Posted!!
