Friday Flourish: Rollover

5/13/2011

For this week's Friday Flourish, we take a break from swings and throw in something Steve likes to put into California Twirls.

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

Please (pretty 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!

Carry on Dancing,

CS

This project has concluded as of mid-2013 (with an epilogue posted mid-2016) but we hope to see you soon on a contra dance floor! Meanwhile, head over to our Facebook page for upcoming techno contra events and other items of interest.

The 100+ Friday Flourish videos can still be found on YouTube.

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 afield when I can. Lather, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.
