This week's flourish is a neat little back-lead that can be pulled out on a twirl-under.  And one of the cool little things about it is that it can't be led -- only back-led.  This comes from our friend Kevin Mabon and some of his friends at our home dance of Glen Echo. 

You might notice that this week's flourish is up a little early -- Steve and I head for the Atlanta, GA area to dance to the Catapult!  Showcase, which among other things will feature one of Julie Vallimont's other bands and a workshop for techno contra organizers, callers, and musicians led by none other than Jeremiah Seligman, a.k.a.  dJ improper. 

There will be more syncretistic goodness next Wednesday -- watch this space! 

Carry on Dancing,

CS

This project has concluded as of mid-2013 (with an epilogue posted mid-2016) but we hope to see you soon on a contra dance floor!  Meanwhile, head over to our Facebook page for upcoming techno contra events and other items of interest.

I dance with abandon.  I play with glowsticks.  I look for music that is conducive to one or both.  I play behind cameras.  I write about all of the above.  I'm based in Glen Echo's contra dance community outside of Washington, D.C., but I'm happy to go dance afield when I can.  Lather, rinse, repeat.  Always repeat.
