I went to the contradance at OCAF in Watkinsville satuday night. It is so much fun to dance or even just to watch. There is just so much smiling going on! A part of it is from the fun of dancing and part of it is laughing at all the clumsiness going on especially in the first few run-throughs before everyone learns the pattern of the dance. A contradance is a microcosm of a perfect world – such a variety of people young and old, short and tall, all dancing with each other.
The illustration is from an 18th-century dance book in the Library of Congress collection of dance manuals.

So that’s where you were…..
You are a man of many secrets!
Maybe I’ll start getting some secrets of my own….

It’s not much of a secret if it’s in a blog!
That dance was after the Madison County Habitat show
so I stopped in after unloading the equipment.
I meant to go to the one last Saturday before
our late show, but there just wasn’t time.
Maybe next month.
