I just got home from contra dancing. It was so much fun, it completely changed my mood. I would describe the dance as a partner dance in which you spin around until you are very ill and can't do it anymore. But someone in the know described it much better: it's like square dancing only in lines instead of squares. The real question is: do guys know how charming it is when they partner dance and enjoy it? If you are a guy, and you don't know, let me tell you, it is one of the most charming things you can do. Some of the guys were very cute too, but not in a mainstream way. Let me put it this way: about 20% of the men wore skirts or kilts. My favorite was this little (shorter than I) guy with glasses and redish hair. He was so happy when he danced and when he would spin me he would grab on to my hair so it wouldn't hit other people (a lot of people got hit with the hair). Waaaaay too much fun and I'm still dizzy.
