Out church is St. Patrick's... so St Patty's Day is their third biggest holiday (Christmas and Easter are #1 and #2).
Saturday night, we went to a St. Patty's Day dance. They fed us corned beef and cabbage (and chicken) and we listened to Irish music - until about 7:30 - that's when the DJ took over and Mary became the star of the night.
Our table started talking about all of the cliche songs we knew we were going to hear. One guy asked if anyone could teach him the Electric Slide so he'd be ready for when that song came on. Mary took him to the side of the room and showed him. When they finished, the DJ said "I've been watching a few people practice the Electric Slide. Let's get everyone on the dance floor and Mary on-stage to show everyone how to do it."
Mary led the dance and for the rest of the night, there was always someone on the dance floor. People kept coming up and thanking her. Apparently the last two years were dancing duds. But, thanks to Mary, the party was lively.
