Dan Lockshon gathered a group of delightful musicians who regaled us with dancing music All night lo-ong. All night... all night... All night lo-ong. |
At one point we were all in a big circle and Caller grabbed a hand
and led us into the neatest spiral and then back out of it.
|
Even babies can dance. Lin Le holds her year-old son, Chester, while Laurel Spahr partners up for some fancy dancing. |
Circle right, then reverse. Lots of laughs as we tried to tell our right from our left !~! Times Eight. |
Do-Si-Do with my husband, Ormond. |
Allemand Left with my Reel partner, Victoria Sawicki. |
Circling, grinning, clapping, and holding hands. All on a full stomach !~! |
Virginia Reel gave everyone a chance to show off their skill set. We had a blast-all of us. |
I hope we can do it several times a year. The band and the caller were great. Everyone who was there had the time of their life.
Big THANK YOUS to ALL

Oh I LOVE square dancing, folk dancing...any kind of dancing. Wish I could talk my hubby into it. He's a stick in the mud that way.
ReplyDeleteAh! Square Dancing is great that way. It starts out sneakily with simple commands, repeated a few times until everyone feels like they've accomplished something, then another is added with increased success, and more and more until you're arming and handing and spinning in a dizzying whirl of bodies that magically turn back into a square of four couples.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way for people to actually INTERACT physically and become better friends and members of our community. And there's always a place for another, and another. Try it!
Interesting.... a post from OO! He be reading your blog. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and looks like y'all had a good time.
Great pictures Lynda, I must admit I was a little worried when you said you were going Square Dancing, I wanted you to have fun but didn't want you to hurt yourself. I'm glad all went well and you had a great time,I am worse than an ol' Mother Hen!
