Swing Your Partner


What’s a base stealing, homerun hitting, pop-fly catching, diamond running, fast pitching girl to do when she doesn’t have a game on Friday night?  Take in an evening of English Country Dancing with her brother and a few friends, of course! 

You say you've never heard of English Country Dancing? If you've watched Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility or any other Jane Austen movie, you’ve seen English Country Dancing. It is a traditional form of dance has been around for several hundred years, it's marked by classical, elegant music.  Many people love the beautiful patterns that you create as you dance and weave.
One of the homeschool families, who we’ve known for a decade, runs the ECD group in Plano.  It’s funny because they have a daughter Abigail’s age named Lydia.  Abigail and Lydia are on the same CHANT homeschool softball team.  So, tonight instead of sporting eye-black these ball players were decked out in dresses and swirling!  

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness Psalm 30:11
