Hi Everyone,
We had our 14 March contra dance here in Christchurch, and around 9 pm
danced Money Musk.
Since we get the first sun each day, we started off "International Money Musk
Day!" Success to all
the rest of you as you dance it later tonight, and success to the two Davids on
their book release parties.
We had 32 dancers tonight (still no musicians), and lots of beginners, so
it took a while to teach, but
we then danced it three times (4 couple sets Scottish style 8x). By the third
time, lots were doing it really
well given that no one here has much experience of contra dancing.
Here is a youtube video of the second time through -

I had a second camera on a tripod, but I can't seem to upload the file,
so I'll put it up later. This
one will have a bit of the teach on it, so I'd appreciate any critique. It was a
quite a hard dance for our
group.
Cheers, Bill
