I agree! This is silly and could be a lot of fun because of all the interactions with
dancers AND you get to swing your partner, plus the progression is built in. Maybe not a
dance for every evening, but definitely a nice, fun dance for that special crazy crowd
that is ready for something different.
Thanks for sharing!

It may be ridiculous, but I wouldn't hesitate to dance it once.

Hello all,
Sometimes I write in to check if a dance I've penned has already been written; but
this time I'm sure that it hasn't.
I was inspired by the news of the national coin shortage
(https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pandemic-leads-national-coin-shortage-…
<https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pandemic-leads-national-coin-shortage-federal-reserve-task-force-created-n1233907>)
to put together a dance called "The Laundromat Needs Quarters" full of quarter
turns and agitated motion.
Note, this is not a dance that I think should be called, it's a joke dance and they
have very limited utility. But I miss the extended contra community and wanted to share as
a reminder that our dance community is still out there, and we will celebrate and dance in
person again someday.
