A friend of mine has been asking me for a while now to go contra dancing with her. I'm not much of a dancer and I'm not a big fan of random strangers touching me so I've been brushing her off for a few weeks now. Yesterday we hung out and went rock climbing after work when she heard about a contra dance happening that night in Valle Crucis so of course she begged me to go. I finally agreed to go with her. She excitedly gave me a cute outfit to wear and we drove off to the Apple Barn where it was taking place. I had so much fun! I didn't expect to like it, but from the first dance I was hooked. Even though I didn't know what I was doing the people there were really nice and very open to helping me learn. I can't wait to go back later this week.
