The Ridge Way to Dance
Something quite old,
And then something new
A dance that is chunky,
Then one that is smooth
Most are in lines,
but sometimes a square
or circles, or triplets
or even in pairs
New dancers, we welcome
We’ll teach you your part
Long timers? Surprises,
We’ll spring from the start
If not a surprise,
Then perhaps something rare?
A treasure forgotten
Brought out for fresh air?
Our goal: To delight you
Just give us a chance
Put on your best smile
And come to the dance.

Same deal – song leading – you can jump to info about that here.

Want to know more about my background in all these “folk” activities? First folk song? Kind, well-intentioned, and somewhat clueless parental encouragement? Heros? Maybe, over time, some samples and stuff – read on here.
