Bette: Yes, I think that you have describe it perfectly. How about we buy this piece and then go find a restaurant and have some dinner and maybe some wine. Then maybe we can find a little night life here in Philadelphia. Something that is not rock and roll or high energy dancing.

Tina:  So, what have you got in mind?

Bette:  A jazz bar? A comedy club? Something like that?

Tina:  That sounds like fun Porter. Let’s go.

Bette:  I know, let’s go to The Tavern on Carver. It has a piano bar and a restaurant. It’s a favorite of the gay community as well. It’s been a Philadelphia favorite for years and they have really good food too.

Tina:  Well, if it’s a favorite of the gay community, there is bound to be some dancing.

Bette: More than likely. And there is nothing more than I would love is to dance with you tonight.

Bette and Tina completed their purchase and then headed for the street to catch a cab to The Tavern on Carver. It was early so the restaurant was not crowded. They ordered grilled chicken and asparagus and a side order of fries. After their dinner, they went upstairs to the piano bar and had a cocktail and enjoyed the music. The ambiance was what they termed as romantic particularly in that it was early evening and the Friday night crowds had not started to pack in. Tina asked Bette if they could visit the main bar as she was in the mood to dance. There was a live band who had just begun to crank out the music. There were many gay couples who were dancing and energy was just beginning to start to sizzle. The band then played a salsa type music where Tina asked Bette to dance with her. Bette accepted Tina’s hand as she led her to the dance floor. They then began to perform their salsa. They began somewhat close and began to move with the music moving their hips and feet in complete unison. After the first minutes, they seemed to have attracted the attention of almost everyone in the bar. Their smiles and their hand placements were indicators that these two knew each other very well and were very comfortable with who they were and what they were doing. This couple radiated heat and romance. Their turns and spins and quick steps complimented each other and showed that neither was more dominate than the other. Bette and Tina kept their eyes on each other only taking quick glances around the room to maintain control of where they were going. The movement of their hips and an occasional shoulder shimmy kept the crowd’s attention on them. The dance lasted about 5 minutes and when it was over, the crowd began to applaud to Bette and Tina’s surprise. They were not aware they had taken center stage. Bette quickly kissed Tina and then indicated that was it for the night for her. Tina talked her into going to the bar and having a final drink before heading to the hotel. The bartender complimented them on their dancing and when he realized that these two were not of the age of his usual crowd, he gave them their drinks on the house. It was not often that he had customers over fifty which drew the attention of the early Friday night crowd with a dance performance. As they enjoyed their drinks, they told the bartender a little of their story of how they had found one another and how much they loved to dance with each other. They tend tipped the bartender and headed for the hotel.
