Friday Flourish: Backward Swing (Please Submit Your Own, Too!)

05/06/2011

Good news: this is the last Friday Flourish from that shoot in which the lighting levels were rather sub-optimal. I managed to digitally lighten it enough that you should be able to see what's needed. Going forward they'll be better; we found a better spot to shoot these, hooray!

See more videos on the ContraSyncretist YouTube channel where I am building a library of moves and how to do them.

Please (please, please) share your flourishes! Upload the how-tos to YouTube, send me the link in the Contact Me form, and they might get featured on this blog.

I know for a fact that Steve and I are not the only ones who add flourishes to contra dancing, and we certainly don't know everything! Please, share the fun!

Me likey new contra moves! Thank you.

Updates happen on every other Monday & every Wednesday.

So goes the plan, anyway....

Friday Flourishes are on indefinite hiatus as of April 2013, but our previous 100+ videos can still be found on YouTube. Feel free to send more our way, though -- we will still post these sporadically as our schedules permit.

I dance with abandon. I play with glowsticks. I look for music that is conducive to one or both. I play behind cameras. I write about all of the above. I'm based in Glen Echo's contra dance community outside of Washington, D.C., but I'm happy to go dance gypsy when I can. Lather, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.
