点评:Our team from all across the US gathered in Dallas in early August for a work retreat. It seemed like a good chance to fit in something "country" so we settled on a visit to a dance hall.
The team took the challenge to heart, dressed in our boots and duds for the dance hall, and were ready to dive in to the country dance classes and fully get into the spirit.
While our reserved table was there at Cowboys Red River as promised, the dance lessons were two-step only and it was like speed dating - just a walk through of 16 counts with each partner and not even to music! (We had truly hoped for at least some line dancing to get the full group involved.)
And the current country music was no where to be found at all that night... Even when the lessons were over and the floor was turned over to dancers, the music felt like a mix of classic 80s and 90s with nary a Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan, or even Rascal Flatts tune in sight.
I really wanted to have a whale of a time with my colleagues, but I was left incredibly underwhelmed (yep even after riding the mechanical bull!).
翻译:8 月初,来自美国各地的团队齐聚达拉斯,参加工作休假。这似乎是融入“乡村”氛围的好机会,所以我们决定去舞厅。
团队认真对待挑战,穿上舞厅的靴子和服装,准备参加乡村舞蹈课,全身心投入其中。
虽然我们预订的桌子如约出现在 Cowboys Red River,但舞蹈课只有两步舞,就像快速约会一样——只是和每个搭档走 16 步,甚至没有音乐!(我们真的希望至少有一些排舞,让整个团队都参与进来。)
那天晚上根本找不到当前的乡村音乐……即使课程结束,舞池移交给舞者,音乐也感觉像是 80 年代和 90 年代经典音乐的混合,几乎看不到 Morgan Wallen、Luke Bryan 甚至 Rascal Flatts 的曲调。
我真的很想和我的同事们度过一段愉快的时光,但我却感到非常失望(是的,即使骑了机械公牛之后!)。
