Whipperstompers was great! Adina was great - dance games were esp cool! - the band was excellent, and the people were very fun. A lot of Brasstown kids hung together; a couple of people felt a little excluded by them, but when you've got all that history, yeah, it's hard not to bond even more.... Hot - some big box fans would have been great... I wish I had camped - beautiful campsites close together. Table Rock is a great facility. <rant> Groups that meet for primarily social reasons die (or might as well). Groups that share a passion for something grow. </rant> When I sat out and just watched the dancers at Whipperstompers, wow! Lots of passion there. Big buckets of gotta-dance just overflowing. Our contra-dance language continues to morph and grow, beautifully. Lots of contact-improv and swing creeping in. Outright theatrics, ending just in time to meet the next... Many of these kids youngsters dancers grew up sleeping on the corner of the stage, reels seeping into their motion-fibers from age 1. So it's no wonder they move at such a high level. Beautiful to watch. We ARE part of a golden age, as someone said recently.
