Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! If you square dance today, you’re eligible for an Easter fun badge (Square Dance Fun Dangle Requirements).

There’s not much in the way of square dance Easter music. Easter Parade (Lamon 10095, Bruce Williamson Jr.) is about it. Maybe someone should put out Peter Cottontail. I suppose we could always play the Bunny Hop during a break.

Nice enthusiastic page on square dancing: Dave’s Dancing Page.

Ever wondered what contra dancers do when they’re bored with repeating the same sequence over and over? They do medleys.

For example, Steve Holland’s Contra Dance Page notes:

The “master of the medley” has a reputation of calling medleys that change each time through the dance.  The current record is 19 separate dances in a medley.  You will not want to miss the next experienced dance where Steve will break his record — set at the last experienced dance!!

There was a contra medley with no walk throughs at this year’s Dance Flurry.
