Are you a Folk Dancer?
I have heard it said there are five stages in a folk dancer's life.
1. "Know nothing": prior to having done any dancing at all.
2. "Beginner": having learnt most of the fundamentals, but still lacking
confidence and likely to get completely lost.
3. "Expert": having mastered the main basic figures and simpler dances, rather
full of yourself, but still willing to dance with people not up to your
standard.
4. "Obnoxious": knowing all the answers (so you think), and only dancing with
the chosen few.
5. "Mature": rather modest about your dancing capabilities, ready to dance with
anyone, beginner or not; likely to go wrong in a dance just for the fun of it
and for the laughs.
How far have you got?
