A Night in Paris: Adult Church Dance
Adult Church Dance Date Night
Church Dance For Adults
Unlike when youth are in charge, adults are really amazing at decorating. We honestly expected a cheesy dance in a cultural hall, but showed up to find they had pulled out all the stops- even a red carpet and projection of one of our favorite Paris scenes.

Take two went better.
The dance floor looked amazing, they even decorated small shops with refreshments. Here was my favorite one.
Inside Jokes and Laughs Shared
Our one snarky joke was that they missed one major detail- there just weren’t any homeless men urinating anywhere. This was something we saw at almost every subway stop in Paris. We actually identified which stop to get off at for our hotel by a resident homeless man asleep on the same bench each night. Public restrooms also aren’t really a thing in Paris.
But the smells of Paris are something we always laugh about. It’s less roses, and more a combination of delicious baked bread and urine. This is just a somewhat funny reality. If you’ve never been, now you can go and see the amazing things of Paris and not be too shocked by the smell and subways. It definitely made for a funny inside joke all night!
In our stake’s defense, no one has made a candle of that scent just yet, so I guess it’s okay they kept the romantic dream Americans have.
The giant Eiffel Tower in the middle was an excellent touch! But what I loved seeing, even more, was all the couples together. They were either cutting a rug together to music from all decades or slow dancing and smiling and laughing together.
I think some couples just don’t date or get out much, and watching them out alone without children reminded how much love is in the world and how many happy marriages there are. I just kept smiling at all the smiles, particularly from the elderly couples who have been married so decades.
The YMCA also reminded me that my love for themed dances will never die. It’s like riding a bike friends, you can always get your groove back.
These were a blast as a teenager! However, I have to admit dancing with the same cute boy all night to fast and slow songs alike beats the hundreds I went to as a teen any day.
