Barefoot Square DancingNo checkered skirts or bandanas here (ok, well, maybe in between the dreadlocks and skin heads and vegeans). Foot attire? Barefeet, tennis shoes, and cross-trainers. Ages? All and we mean ALL. Bluegrass band with caller. Until PortlandDancing gets pointed towards some "traditional square dancing" (read: dresses and shirts made from table clothes) this is what you get. No one goes away disappointed. 3 notches wilder than Contra dancing. Hip callers. No experience necessary. It's great to be Square Dancing in Portland, Oregon. (reall square dance experts would say that there is no "neo" category, that this dancing is just "traditional square dancing" done by a younger crowd.) |
