Dancing in Erie

I was in a store that sold musical instruments, mainly drums and drum kits.  The drum kits were lined up on a small stand that was in front of a window.  My friend was there and he showed me how he played using his hand and one stick.  We all decided we would go to Erie for dancing.  The way to Erie was up a hill.  It was not far so we were walking.  The way up the hill had lots of paths that formed y's going up the hill.  The paths were sand and were squishy between my toes.  I was walking barefoot.  Off to the right was an old abandoned train station.  There was a plaque there explaining the significance of the station.  We decided it was too far to walk to Erie and stopped at a dance place.  It was a dance school and it was segregated by sex.  The men danced on the top floor and the women danced on the first floor.  We went up to the second floor and it was full of people dancing.  There was a mirrored ball and flashing lights.  There was one person who was very big and was dancing and walking backwards.  He almost ran me over.
