It was one of those situations where someone specifically says, “Don’t look,” and then you have to. In this case, it was information none of the teachers at the dance studio needed to know, as all it did was cause curiosity and commotion.

Nearby Nudist colony

Not too far from the dance studio where I had been teaching, there was a ‘nudist colony.’ From the outside, it looked like any other community, with townhouses and well-kept grounds.

They kept to themselves, and most of us never knew or wanted to know what went on behind closed doors.

We were aware of the complex’s existence, though we had never met any of them. Let me take that back — if we had, we weren’t aware of it. It’s not likely they went around naked in front of anyone, so how would we know?

If they played golf naked or dressed for dinner, that wasn’t our business; however, when Evan, the owner of the studio, told us some of the nudists from around the corner were planning to attend an upcoming group class, it opened the door for many questions and new-found curiosity.
