Dancing

[Bernard]

Shortly after moving here, a fellow orchestra cellist tried to get me to go to contra dances not far from the music school (where we both were taking cello choir). I never did make it, despite her multiple efforts to get me there. It just wasn't catching my fancy. But I've recently become interested, after watching traditional Fair Isle dancing videos. It's all closely related.

There's a square dance coming up near me in early Feb. It's not contra--but similar, with a shared history, I believe. I'm seriously considering it.

Doesn't this look like fun!? I love seeing a whole room of people making the same moves; mesmerizing after a while.
