Barn Dance

2019-08-18 05:31:42.106432+00 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Barn Dance with Evie Ladin out at Tara Firma Farms this evening. One of these in 2012 was what got me into square dancing.

So there's alcohol, and lots of people who are out there for the first night, but it's high energy, family environment. Lot of fun. Charlene wasn't dancing, later in the evening I was looking for a partner, a woman started squaring up with her young daughter, who got distracted by something and took off running somewhere, so I said "wanna dance?", and she did.

So we're doing the walkthrough, and there's an Allemande Left your Corner, Swing your Partner. We do the hooked right arm swing, but in the process I say something about a Ballroom Swing, and she says "what's that?", so I show her, and the fancy twirl into promenade position, and then the unwinding to end the promenade back at home...

And she says "Oh, apparently it's something adults know."

Jesus, when did I get old?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
