Fort Collins Contra Dancing, Bar Hopping

On Saturday night we went out contra dancing with Shana and Garrison. This time Britton went along. It was fun because as expected, Britton was a well-sought after prize. All the older women asked him to dance, it was pretty cute. The band was really good as well and since the night was cooler, we didn’t sweat as much. It was nice knowing I had a partner to dance with.


All that dancing tired Garrison out

Afterward we went to Coopersmiths for a late night snack and some of their brewery beer. It was a pretty fun night.

Friends, Fun and Contra Dancing

Saturday was a fun day and night. Britton found out one of his long-time high school friends was going to be driving through Colorado from Texas and wanted to hang out. Shana asked me if I wanted to go Contra Dancing, which I had never even heard of before she told me about it, and so since Britton had company, I went with her. It was SO much fun. You get a little dizzy with all the twirling, spinning, swinging and so on, but it was awesome. I was sweating and laughing the whole time.

Contra is hard to describe. It is kind of like square dancing, except it is done in a long line and to what kind of sounds like Celtic music. It’s a little like those old Elizabethian movies where they move between each other and switch partners except people weren’t all that dressed up. There were way more women than men, so I think if Britton ever went with me, he’d be a hot commodity.

All the Swinging to one side left my right hip sore

After Contra, Shana dropped me off at home but Britton and Sean weren’t there, so we (Shana and I) decided to go meet them at the bar. We hung out there and talked for a while-till about 2 in the morning, but then the time fell back because of Daylight Saving and it was only 1:30am when we got home. 🙂 It was a fun day.
