A number of months ago, the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park in the Washington DC area was closed for renovations. Friday night and Sunday night contra dances moved to the bumper car pavilion for the duration. (That’s where I danced when I had a chance to attend the Sunday night dance in February.)

Last month, the renovated Spanish Ballroom reopened.

Here’s a page with pictures from the last dance in the bumper car pavilion and the first dance in the Spanish Ballroom.

The site belongs to Eva Murray, who joins my list of crossover contra/MWSD dancers. She’s a contra caller, but she and her husband are dancing MWSD a couple of times a week (when it doesn’t conflict with a contra dance).
