Let me start off by describing the dance and giving a little bit of history about this dance. Well this dance requires 4 couples, with all the couples facing the middle of the square. Now this dance has been first documented in 16th century in England but then again it was also quite common in France and throughout europe. The way it came to America was by European settlers. When they settled down they showed the Americans their dance.
Okay now I will be talking about my experience dancing this. First my teacher gave us our parterns I was in a group full of guys to be honest it wasn't easy to get them to follow directions. They showed us all the steps it was very frostrating because we couldn't get the moves right. Then after a while of struggling we finally got better and our group was announced as I guess the best. I was happy of me n my group, then again it was fun now that I understood the dance.
I've learned so much doing this activity. For example, team work in this dance especially if you have no experience dancing this because u need each other to work this dance out. I have also learned how to pay attention since in this dance they tell you the moves u have to perform and they say the moves very fast eventually. You need to pay close attention to your partner and the music. At last I learned to have fun to be honest at first it wasn't so exiting but day by day it began to be fun. So having your freinds and adding energy to this will get you to love this dance.
