Weโve been having lots of fun in Knit Together Group this fall! Since many people enjoy visiting local farms in autumn here in America, we decided to do a little barn dancing! Contra dance is a form of American folk dancing with European origins. Similar to square dancing, it is a social dance that became popular throughout Appalachia and other regions. Dancing is a great way to learn and practice vocabularyโleft, right, forward, back, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8! And so much fun too!! ๐๐
