square dancing
hello.
i am a yankee visiting your parts this weekend. my sister just moved there a few months ago.
i would like to go to a hoe down. mind you, not a boot-scooting-boogie, but more of a do-see-do, grab your partners round n round.
does this exist outside of my dreams?
i've checked out http://www.asrda.org/ but it doesnt seem like anything is going on.
any modern square dancing that you know of? i apologize if this is coming off too cliche, as i also get tired of answering where the nearest cheesesteak place is in philadelphia. but the tourists want what they want. i wants to dance.
thank you for your time and i look forward to visiting your city!
Re: square dancing
very similar to square dancing is contra dance or barn dance. try googling those. i know this group dances every wednesday, but i don't know about weekends.
fun!
I have no idea where you can square dance (the only place I've ever seen it is at senior centers), but this post made me laugh. I hope that isn't offensive, but (as a Texan born and raised) square dancing never ever crosses my mind as something we do, so it's pretty amusing that that is what somebody thinks of.
ETA: I think its great that you want to do something like this. Makes me actually want to find a place to go, because I'm definitely into kitschy, fun stuff like that.
when I think of square dancing, I think of 5th grade when we used to dance in the MP (multi-purpose) room when it was raining and we couldn't have PE outside.
but this was in CA.
nope, didn't take it as offensive!
thanks for that link - i'll report back if i find anything while i'm there.
This! Except we did it every year as part of PE from 1st-5th grade
. I've never seen it done outside of a school gym though!
To the PP - depending on the dates, the rodeo may be in town (either here or in Houston). That is always a good time and more representative of Texas!!
ha! i knew that music education degree would come in handy.
i was right:
