Square Dancing 101

The last time I square danced was 30 years ago (man, that makes me sound old), at a 6th grade retreat.  Well, tonight, a number of us gathered for a fundraising event for our church's youth group.  We were privileged to have a professional square dance teacher/caller instruct us in the basic steps of square dancing.  It was a very enjoyable evening, filled with a lot of going in the wrong direction, getting turned around, and laughing.  Special thanks to Grace and Martha (and I guess Al) for organizing this, as well as Orin, the square dance guru.  Here are a few pictures from the festivities...
