Excellent contradance tonight near Syracuse, part of the Phylla Mae Fall Festival. Not a big event but great music, calling, and dancing. This year's featured caller is Michael Karcher with music by Stove Dragon and Raven & Goose. Continues all day tomorrow with English country dancing and more contra.

About 30 or so contradancers swinging on a dance floor with Michael Karcher and the Stove Dragon band up on the stage. There are festive pennants and strings of lights overhead, and several pumpkins in front of the stage.

I've been fairly depressed and grumpy this past week; it's remarkable how much my mood is lifted simply by getting off my ass and spending a couple of hours #contradancing.

I swear, if doctors just prescribed a bit of #dance more often, it could do real damage to the anti-depressant industry…

Went to two contra dances this week, lots of dancing!
Wore one of my 18-year old Casio Baby-G Whale watches. I change their batteries once every three years or so. I still like these watches, but they're pretty big & clunky.
People compliment them, but i never say the REAL reason I wear them dancing: when we do a 'star right' figure they prevent some guy's super sweaty hand from clamping my arm. My Baby-G happily takes the hit & i just suds it up in the sink when i get home! πŸ˜‚

@redbanjer you might appreciate this take on social media:
"Post things. Not too much. Mostly your own work."
Really happy to find your feed from talking about #contraDancing.

@melanieistefan ditto Appalachian folks in Helsinki.
#contraDancing and #ceilidh are comparable folk dance protocols. Lots of tunes and dances cross over. What else? #balFolk ...

#intro #introduction
My first toot... I was never on Twit or FB ...so this is all really new to me.
I enjoy oldtime music and medieval music, gardening , knitting , coffee with friends, cats , and contra dancing. I run a music social network for mountain dulcimer players at FOTMD.com
I'm in the US northeast, my politics are left leaning and I believe in treating folks with kindness. I do technical illustration for a living.
Greetings!

#introductions hi, I'm Nadya, I have 5 accounts and I want one of them to be my main but I can't decide and this is emblematic of my life as a whole. I generally want to do something besides shitpost on a given day but it's the lowest activation energy. I like #freesoftware, #contradancing, #coffee, #yoga, #socialism, #hamradio, #fablabs, #drugs, #math, and everything in my bio. Please join me in screaming into the void; the current hypothesis is if we scream loud enough, we'll get an echo πŸ˜„
