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-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.
