Square Dance

Today at PE we did square dancing. Square dancing is very new to me, since I have never experienced it before. It's basically a country-style dance. Each girl was paired up with a boy as her partner, and then we did several dances together and switched partner in each one. First, we joined hands together, all 8 of us (because there were 4 pairs of dancers in each square), and went around in a full-circle counterclockwise. Then we did a dos ado- going around your partner without turning your body and bumping into him/her. After the dos ado we swung each other around and turned to our corner and switched to another partner. We basically did the same thing over and over again. There were some other techniques, such as the accommodation, which is basically partners criss-cross their hands and join the together. Overall, square dancing was fun.
