Drat drat drat.
I would definitely be there if we weren't at English/American week at
Pinewoods until then. I think not much happens on Saturday there, but I'm
not sure we could really leave Pinewoods on Friday without its being rude,
and it's a bit out of our price range to come to Atlanta just for Sat
night/Sunday.
This is just such a great idea.
I enjoy Modern Western Squares but really would like to shake someone
sometime to get them to 1) stop insulting us when we get it wrong 2) teach
better so we could get it right and 3) not take it so seriously and 4) dance
to the music.
The thought of a bunch of good contra dancers doing this stuff together is
just so delicious!

Modern Western Squares for Contra dancers!
Pam and I are hosting a weekend for contra dancers August 13-15, 2010. As
in previous years, this is a small gathering of callers and dance gypsies to
do a high intensity weekend of mind-blowing, confusing, wild and wacky
squares at our house in Decatur, GA.
We will once again be bringing in the most fabulous Dan Sahlstrom from the
twin cities. Expect Teacup Chain, Pingpong circulate, Relay the Deucy, and
lots of other stuff from Plus, Advanced, and Challenge level square dancing.
And stuff that isn't even on the lists!
Dan has been doing a number of workshops on square HEXs - square dance
moves done with 6 couples
(
http://www.tiac.net/~mabaker/hexagon.html<http://www.tiac.net/%7Emabaker…)l>),
and so will lead that.
No Modern/Club squares experience required (though Contra experience
expected).
This event will be limited to 18 people; held at our house in Decatur, GA.
Food will be potluck. Out of towners are welcome to crash here or with
nearby dancers. The cost is $100 / person plus 2 potluck dishes for 20
people or $25.
Email/FB message me if interested - only 9 slots left!
