three weeks ago i found a new love: contra dancing!!!we have a place locally that hosts contra dancing on thursday nights. they do a 30 minute tutorial, then you just join the 40-80 other people dancing the night away. this video is from the place where we go.
i admit i was nervous at first... i don't always love formal dancing & i'm a bit self-conscious about my lack of coordination. but the crowd is SO enthusiastic and welcoming and accepting. lots of semi-professionals asked me to dance, so all i had to do was follow their lead.
if any of you are looking for a fun, new, exciting way to get exercise, find a place to try contra dancing near you! it's wicked fun*
