Cane Country Squares

With Matt away, calling in Victoria, we still got two squares enjoying the night of dancing to recordings of Matt from previous nights. Rob ran the recordings to suit the dancers in attendance with workshops and singing calls from Matt.  SSD learners practiced Scoot Backs. Even though we know Matt is not in the room, it is still funny to see people react to their names given in instructions by Matt on the recordings. The Plus team got in 12 minutes of dancing to complete their hoedown recording. Without Matt to tell us where we were going wrong, the recording was rewound and restarted a few times as the dancers worked together, to figure out what was going wrong with some movements.  Check out the photo gallery for a few more photos from the night.  Remember to dress in red and bring a little extra cash for our Heart Dance fund raiser next Friday.

Sandy even danced the first set with a rabbit face. Mia enjoyed making hats for her whole family. The front table also had a collection of hats to borrow for the night for those that didn't bring their own.  Most of the night Matt called normal four couple squares for SSD but was up for some extra work, calling one set for a six couple rectangle. Matt also workshopped Plus for Sue, who has not danced a full Plus program for some time.  Just before supper an Easter Egg hunt was held. For those who couldn't beat the kids to an Easter Egg, their was some small candy eggs and chocolate treats available with their cuppas. After supper Sandy read a hum...
