Do si do your partner. Alamand left your corner. I square danced last night! Last summer I started taking square dance lessons on Tuesday nights. Back at the end of January, my "class" graduated from the Basic level. Then we started learning Plus level calls. It's a LOT of fun! And it's good exercise. We dance to the basic calls from 7:30 to 9:00 and then to the Plus calls from 9:00-10:00. I've made some great friends through the square dance group.
One of the things I love about Suncoast Squares - the group I dance with - is that it's all-position dancing. That means boys can dance as girls and vice versa. Another thing I love about it ... no fancy dress required. We dance in street clothes. And yet another thing I love about it ... the hugs! After every tip (a combination of patter calls and signing calls) everybody yellow rocks - hugs. Good hugs can provide a pick-me-up after a long day.
Various clubs around the country have fly-ins. Fly-ins are weekends full of square dancing. It's LOADS of fun! And the dancer's skills improve drastically over the weekend. At least mine did in February when I attended my first fly-in.
If you haven't tried square dancing recently, give it a try!
