Contra Dancing

I love to dance! We went to the old library last night to learn how to contra dance. It is fun!
There were about 12 of us there. There were 3 couples and we traded partners all night as we needed to learn how to dance.
Here is their web site:http://www.neofs.us
We did:
do si do
crossovers
al la mand left
swing your partner
figure 8's
forward and back
It was a lot like square dancing. We danced with people that knew how to dance and so sometimes our corner partner was with each other.
I was sweating by the end of the night and next time we will take a water bottle.
They meet every Tuesday. It was $2 a person to help pay for electricity and renting the building.
Some of the ladies had black dancing shoes that they brought with them.
Uncle Chris was there taking photos so we might end up in the paper... I 'll post those if that happens or maybe Chris will email us a copy. We did invite him to dance, twice and he said it wasn't in his contract to dance with us.
