Dancing-Videos

We had another civil war era dance lesson and, once again, had a great time!  Noah didn’t sit out this time and he talked about how much fun he had all of the way home and showed us a few dances later at home.

It may be hard to distinguish the three of us in the videos below, so here are pictures of what we were wearing:

I am still a little ignorant as to the names of all of the dances, but I believe the video is a simple schottische dance:

This next video is one of my favorites (as you’ll see in the video I got a little carried away with the spinning and didn’t stop early enough a couple of times. Smile) and it’s called the 9-pin quadrille dance:

The 9-pin dance is like musical chairs, because when the music stops you have to find a partner and the person who is left out become the single 9-pin in the middle. In the last clip of the video, Noah was the last 9 pin and was supposed to put on a one-man show for the others who were circling around him Smile.
