I went to my first Contra Dance last night! It was actually a BLAST! Probably because I went with two of my favorite people, my two daughters. We all had a lot of fun and are now hooked! We can't wait until the next one. We each only had one complaint at the end of the night.
Me: Aching feet - but SO worth it!
Reagan (16 yrs) - NO hot guys
Lizzie (6 yrs) - that it was actually over and we had to head home
We will be back! Who'd of thought? Definitely not me...

sounds like square dancing
Looks like fun - never heard of that dance before. What a great girls nite out!
It did remind me a bit of square dancing, although the last time I did that was in 1st grade... so who knows! It was lots of different things, waltzes, polkas, and other things.
I think it is deinitely kin to square dancing. Sounds like so much fun - good for you!
contradancing ranks up there as one of the best things in life. We contradanced at our wedding. I just had a contradance for my 40th birthday. Nothing like it! Glad you have discovered it.
