About fifty people (it was hard to tell as people came and went at different times) congregated at the West Brookfield Town Hall to go barn dancing Saturday night. Thanks to Mark LeDoux for teaching the many steps and calling the dances. We worked through circle dances, square dances and contra dances, with lots of smiles and laughter as we made mis-steps or got it right! It was a great evening to meet new people and have fun on the dance floor.

Oh, and the food was excellent! Thanks to the Town of West Brookfield for the use of the great hall for the dance and for all who attended!

Learning how to make a left-hand star. Left-hand and right-hand stars were used consistently in dances all night.
