Is anyone on this forum into contra dancing? I took it up a few years ago, and despite my Asperger's I'm getting pretty good at it.
It's a very Aspie-friendly crowd!

Pretty funny(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsvBiTfY7lI). You dance with everyone. It's a folk dance by the way.

I like it because of all the neat patterns--I have to wonder whether contra callers are systematizers, like me. Contra dancing makes me feel like a cog in some big beautiful machine. And the music is amazing! If you live in the northeastern U.S., you can find out more about it here:
