http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_dance Sounds like fun! Although it says that in North America dancers are encouraged to change partners with every dance. That part I don't like. I like dancing with Jeff because he knows my limitations!

Tulip, I wish I had the talent for Latin. Jeff can dance most of those rhythms, but I find I don't have the "hip wiggle" it seems to require. I'm too stiff. I can fake the swing, waltz, foxtrot, etc., but anything beyond that usually finds me making a mess of it. Do you take lessons?
