Will Mentor and Stomp Rocket take DC by storm with a challenging Square Dance to tickle your brain and energize your feet!
Join us for Challenging Squares from 2:30-5:30pm on Saturday, November 8th. After a BYO dinner break, join us for Challenging Contras from 7:00-10:00pm. Please note you will need to register SEPARATELY for each event.
Will Mentor calls with music by Stomp Rocket (Bethany Waickman on guitar, Dave Langford on fiddle, and Glen Loper on mandolin and tenor banjo). What a lineup!
To have the most FUN at this afternoon of Challenging Squares, please read below, does this describe your dancing?
- You know how to do more than just the basic moves with confidence (Grand Square, Roll Away, Cross Trail Thru, California Twirl, Pass the Ocean)
- You know where to be at the start of each dance phrase and how to recover from a lapse
- You can dance and enjoy no walk through dances
- You assist your partner and neighbor to the next move - and you have a friendly approach to it
- You respond to confusion and missteps by others with grace, encouragement and good humor
- It's not how long you've been dancing, it's how well you can adapt to challenging and unusual choreography!
