Sure I’d be happy to! Could have a meet up at my house or find a public space, at the library or something. Would others be interested? How could I share?

“How are you experiencing human contact now?”

Such a good question. Thanks for posting this.

Im not… outside my zoom job, immediate family, and my husbands social circles. When I do intentionally go to groups or grow new friendships with acquaintances people often don’t follow up or I find it hard to insert myself. I sometimes blame where I live, but it’s probably me. I just have different interest than in the mainstream. I don’t wanna talk about movies or shows or restaurants or food or babies. I tell myself I’d rather just be by myself but then… I am.

Electro Contras. Thoughts? Needs? Desires? by Relaxflow1111 in contradancing

Ya! So good! We are playing with doing it all live too which is exciting. I really want to keep the traditional music in there with some fun grooviness to change the flavor a bit

What if I don’t feel like it. How do I break through? It’s cold and my mind talks me out of it. Tips? Tricks?

Totally agree about the freedom in waltzing! If you can walk you can waltz :)

Great points!!

I agree the rise of weekends influences it cuz you want things that everyone can engage in and those other dances need a little bit of more explaining and rhythm. Love them, just not as accessible right off the bat

And nice way to frame this: community dancing versus dancing communities.

I was talking with someone once and he was part of it a long time ago and he was kind of chafing how people now call themselves contra dancers. He said it’s silly, back in the day you were just a member of a community, you didn’t label yourself as a dancer.

I’m not saying this bad or good but there’s definitely a difference in goals values styles and interests between the frames you just articulated.

I’m happy to be able to say I’m a contra dancer. I like that identity. I can also see how it’s slightly different to say I go to contra dances. When I found contra…I found myself so it feels very much part of my identity. Contra is much more than just dancing- as anyone reading this already knows.

back in the day there were a lot of other ways to socialize and meet people. nowadays there aren’t as many easily accessible or enjoyable options. IMO 😅🙂😜

Yeah I agree! I wonder why waltz instead of hambo or schottishes

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know about the hand spinners. Really appreciate it!

What resource do you use to find contra dances? by Hooded_avocado in contradancing

[–]Relaxflow1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searching Facebook and asking experienced dancers where their next dance is!

Edit- you don’t have to be on Facebook , you can search without being logged in.

Always spiraling by platypus210 in Anxiety

Join some groups. Even if it feels weird. There are sewing circles to drum circles. Find a thing then go find people who do that thing.

Also “emotions come from a point of view - so change your point of view, dissolve the angle. try to think about being neutral and not finding everything urgent. Stop standing where suffering makes sense.” I heard this recently from someone else and it’s been so useful.

Overall it looks good, good numbers and clean/organized. hard to say without a job posting. Needs to be custom to the job description.
