Once a teacher always a teacher but in retirement it will be more on my terms!
I have tried contra dancing a few times, but other things are discouraged at our regular square dances. We do a lot of plus dancing; that's a little higher level of square dancing. We used to do some line dances in between tips, but not so much in our club now.
Yes, I'm still square dancing. My knees don't like steps anymore, but as long as I can walk and dance, I'm satisfied.
