Channel my Inner Dancer

When I was 13 I took a few ballet classes.  We put MAC in ballet classes when she was 5 and 6 and although she had a knack for it she never really seemed to love it so after a few years we took her out and allowed her to try basketball.

Tonight I went Contra-dancing.  It seems to be a cross between square dancing (yes, like you did in middle school) and hand dancing.  It was a whole lot of fun but had me using muscles I haven't used in a very long time.  When I left the dance hall I realized that I was limping mostly due to sore hips.

The music was wonderful, hammered dulcimer, lute and bodhran.  The contra dance happens every 3rd Saturday of the month.  I hope that maybe one of these Saturday's MAC and Hubby might want to come and try it out.
