Dancing at Pavilion is allowed, you know?


    First, let us say “thank you” to Sun Valley Co. and the Sun Valley Opera for putting on the Fab Four concert, a great show for us boomers, some who like to dance and some who don’t.
    We’re solidly in the first group, so we were especially excited to see that our front-row seats were sold as “tier 3 dancing adult.” (We don’t know if the last part had any special meaning?) We talked to Sun Valley Co. and loved their response. They said, “We know people will be coming down front, so we sell the first five rows at a discount.” In those, if you stay seated, you are likely to be looking at the backside of your neighbor rather than the show you came to see.
    Unfortunately, not everybody got the word. We started dancing right away, but it didn’t last long. At least one person complained so strongly that security came and made us stop. That, of course, made us complain because we had “dancing seats.” After that, security took us back to our seats and said, “Go ahead and dance.” Unfortunately, the fun was gone!
    The whole point of this letter to get out the word. Sun Valley Co. is bringing us these great rock-and-roll groups. And, it knows that some like to dance and some don’t. They make the first five rows a special zone where the seats are cheaper because the view is likely to be blocked. Now all they need to do is be sure everybody understands the arrangement.
    If you want to bounce around come on down. If you want to sit and enjoy, sit farther back. Pretty simple and pretty smart!
