When I disappear from here for several days without warning, the odds are I'm taking a dancing break. I grew up doing folk dancing with my parents and found contra dancing in college. It continues to be the fastest jolt of joy I know. I see old friends at various weekends, get to dress up beyond my regular printmaking jeans, and almost always get some transporting waltzes.
I both hang out with and dance with my sisters.

I dance with old friends.
I dance on playgrounds.
I dance in gardens.
When I'm very lucky I get dipped in fountains.
And sometimes I get to call with the really fun band.
It's always a joyful break for me. Now I'm back to work.

Looks like you've had quite the dance vacation! I wanna learn how to be able to dip my girlfriend like that! :D
These photos are from several different events over the last year plus the calling shot with the Lizards from a couple of years ago. But, yes, it was quite a weekend this past weekend. and yes, you do want to be able to dip your girlfriend like that. She will LOVE it. But learn the right way how before you just experiment on her. She will love that even more.
