Woohooo!
It’s National Square Dance Day! This means, there better be a lot of excitement
for this one, because days like this only happen once a year!
Square dancing is “a dance for four
couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square, with one couple on each side,
facing the middle of the square.”
This dancing phenomenon first dates back to
the 1800s in England, although it caught on in other areas throughout Europe.
When the Europeans brought this dancing craze over to North America, that’s
when things started to get real! Apparently, when this took place, square
dancing underwent “considerable development there,” and – wait for it – as a
result of “preservation and repetition, square dances have attained the status
of a folk dance!”
So, ladies and gentlemen, grab your partner and your dancing
shoes, and get yer square dance on! And, why not dance on over to the Daily
Poll! You can vote by clicking here.
