AROUND THE HOUSE
Well I haven’t square danced since I was a teenager which was eons ago but I decided to go to the free classes for the exercise at least. I had a ball even though with the shortage of “guys” I had to pose as one. Seemed a little weird to be “swinging” another lady but hey, the instructor said if I learned the guy part I could dance at any square dance I went to. There is no lack of ladies. So come on down guys and swing a lady partner (so I don’t have to). I must say though that my partner Judy Patrick knows her square dancing moves and headed me in the right direction more than just a few times.
What’s happening with you or in the community? We’d love to hear about it if you would like to share. All news for next week has to be received by Monday evening in order to be published in the Thursday edition of the Transylvania Times
