And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Square dances helped make communities stronger. I wonder how our culture would change if the cell phones of young people suddenly quit working and the youth rediscovered face-to-face social interaction, including square dancing.
It would be difficult to dance (any kind of dancing) in high heels, on a slope, and on loose terrain!
I still go square dancing regularly, although I only dance to "traditional" squares, and NOT the "modern western square dances" (i.e., "club" dancing). Traditional squares are for everyone, you don't have to take lessons, you don't need to wear a square dance "outfit," and I have found the traditional dancers have more fun.
I recently got a teen into the square dances, and he loves it!
I loved doing the square dancing waaaaaay back in elementary school. Came in handy when in college and went to the UK for a vacation. Did traditional folk dancing up in Scotland. Figured out where square dancing came from.

ReplyDeleteSave America through square dancing.
DeleteIn 7th and 8th grade, we had square dancing instead of recess in the winter at the K - 8th grade elementary school I attended.
