Basket weaving

Boogie cartoon from butternutsquash

It was pointed out to me at ceilidh class tonight that so many dances are about basket weaving. In and out, round and about. I think it is true. I wonder what a Strip the Willow basket would like? I think I´d like one. We also had a go at making a basket of people.. (see the video here for an example). I hope nobody is injured after all that. In the UK I feel we would have needed a few thick piles of paper to fill in to ensure we carried out a thorough risk assessment. Things thankfully are a little more laid back here. One man down .. a few more left still standing .. thats okay then.. Still I am teaching a lot of foreigners so perhaps I should be more careful. Everyone up for slow waltz? No really I think it went well, lots of fun. I am really enjoying the classes and am glad I finally went for it. Have been thinking about this idea for at least 12 months!
