Thread Name: What kind of dancing are you into?
Subject: RE: What kind of dancing are you into?
Marion, are you sure you want to be in that rogues' gallery?

The last dance class I attended was salsa, taught by a touring Cuban salsa group.
Before that was tango (which I love but don't do enough).
Before that was flamenco, but the teacher could not get enough students, so the classes were not repeated.
Before that was ancient Hawaiian hula.
Years before that was polynesian, including modern and ancient hula, tahitian, and maori.

None of those connect much to the music I sing now, which is Irish, Scottish, classical arias, and art songs, although I do 'think' of hula when our circle sings Down to Old Maui.

I wish there were Irish step dance classes here, but alas, no. We do have an active contra dance group and other folk dancing, but I don't make it to those gatherings.
