The Golden Horse Ranch Band is going to be on WGN (Chicago TV) on the morning show tomorrow. Here’s some shameless promotion, and here’s something about the event from a dancer’s point of view.

And then I remember that the whole point is to show people that square dancing doesn’t have to be intimidating or perfect or reserved for somber elderly people with crinoline fetishes. It can be loud, and goofy, and involve stumbling around and startled “Ladies to the center? What the fuck?” facial expressions, as long as everyone is laughing and clapping and enjoying the excuse not to be hip. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
