Swing your partner do si do!
(Livejournal ATE this fucking post just now, so I have to retype it. I am so mad.)
Missa and I went contra dancing last night. It was so much fun! I had never done it before, but it was pretty easy, as long as you knew the basic steps. And there were a lot of people who weren't as experienced. Some of the combinations we were supposed to do were kind of confusing, so there were a lot of people messing up. So I didn't feel so left out.
But there was this one old guy, and when I would get confused and not go where to go, he would push me and yell at me. Finally, I just yelled, "Don't push me!" He didn't react, though. But I just got so fed up with him shoving me around.
Oh, and Missa danced with this little 5 year old. It was so cute. When the partners were supposed to swing (basically you just shuffle around in a little circle together), she would pick him up and swing him around in the air. He LOVED it. It was so cute. I danced with him the next dance, and it was so cute, because he would get confused and dizzy and he would turn aruond in a circle, dazed, in between a group of people. It was really adorable.
So yeah, anyway, we had a really good time. Missa and I might try to go next Friday to another dance...
I wish Martha could come with us. =(
