dancing the night away.



- the petronella -
 

- whooping and calling when the tune changes -
 

- 'balance and swing your partner!' -
 

- the rhythm of the music -
 

- swirling skirts -
 

- meeting people from all over the Midwest -
 

- people watching from the balcony -
 

- getting dizzy from spinning -

- the energetic atmosphere -

- the camaraderie of the dancers -

- well earned blisters from swinging so much -

- contra dancing -

 

 

I got some precious few video clips of the dance which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRCpGXn15y4
