The band Ekinox had a Johnny Halliday wantabe that belted out Que je t'aime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y-vkiFqO6M Unlike other free street dances during the summer in the Place de la Republique, there were more natives than tourists, and it didn't take long to find friends to join. Pedro, who runs the bio store, grabbed me for a dance, and soon I was dancing almost every dance with different neighbors. A newcomer, a Swiss, was watching from his balcony, but it didn't take too much to convince him to join us. Another neighbor, a mega-macho retired soldier, twirled his wife around the square. I suspect the man has a Fred Astaire gene and his intricacy and knowledge of all the dances including tangos, waltzes and fox trots belies his tough guy image. So we twisted and dos y doed, rocked and discoed until midnight.
