"A keen thing about contra dancing is how individualistic it is. Contra dancers are like snow flakes. No two people swing the same way. There seems to be so much information about a person being telegraphed in how they swing, if I but knew how to interpret it." -- [livejournal.com profile] siderea, 2003-11-29

I should/could do it as a very long post some time. Siderea has a very different take on it from me, though I understand hers quite well. We all go through phases in our dancing, and different venues require different adaptations, and our natures give us different coping tools.

"I used to dance before the Lord, which grieved Michael sorely. I'll dance and dance and dance again; his pride shall never hold me. I'll not be bound by any man, nor yet by women's fancies; I am a merry, merry merry soul, and I'm lovely in the dances. Lovely in the dances, I'm lovely in the dances. I am a merry, merry mery soul,and I'm lovely in the dances." Sydney Carter. Can't find my copy of "A Greenprint for Song. Found vinyl, punctuation not accurate, but the gist will do

Used to sing it every Friday on my way to Ithaca, when I wasn't singing "Only the Good Die Young".

G would criticize this about me (I'm too like Lawrence...)

All I can picture is Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse looking at this dancing and, in his head, deriving all sorts of graphs and meaning.....
