Jan Pearce taught the Wellborn NeighborhoodWatchers a Contra Dance at the Christmas Party. Jane Campbell's invitation included a foreshadowing of dancing foot tapping fun. Jane also admitted to not knowing what Contra Dancing is all about. Well, she knows now and she likes it.
WNW leaders are Ruth Ford, Jane Campbell, Betty Barnes and Russell Smith. All can be identified in these phtoes. Buck Pearce, Paige Pearce and Tori and Teddy (friends of the Pearces) were the Contra Dance angels helping us beginners to round out three sets of four to make the dance progression work. The guy with the Santa hat is Jim Bezaire who distirbuted the gifts at the party. Very little swapping of gifts happend. We all liked just what Santa gave us!
Austin McCarthy got a turn with the fiddle. It seems he is a natural and played a recognizable Twink Twinkle Little Star after his first impromptu coaching from Jan.
