Constitution and dances?

Okay, except for waltzes, polkas (trad variety. Scandy does apart/together), sort of for hambos, schottisches, and the odd line dance from Bulgaria, dances are about apart and together. The timing and co-operation thing. Now I need to know what a Korobuska feels like. Damn.

Near as I can tell, the U.S.'s relationship with its Constitution is more the latter right now. I don't like the drama of dance in government's underpinnings, and I don't like our current line of direction. (snarl)

Yeah, Koroboushka is a lot of apart-and-together, with couples going in a big circle, and towards the center and out. Unfortunately the woman does a lot of spinning in circles. The song gets faster as you go. Sometimes I don't make it through the whole song, but it's a lot of fun!

It sounds fun. I haven't looked it up yet. Thank you.

At least when they do it at Pennsic, the men spin just as much.

And a number of Cold War spy movies use it as chase music -- ever see Company Business with Baryshnikov?
