NOVEMBER 29—Square dance day
Square dancing was introduced into the U.S. by the first immigrants to New England (primarily English and French) via their national folk dances. Later, as immigrants came from other countries; their influence transformed the dances into a uniquely American form. As the country’s population moved west and south, regional differences in square dancing began to develop. For example, square dances popular in the east are based on simple patterns, with one couple dancing at a time. Western square dances involve several couples dancing in more complex patterns. So swing your partner and burn off some of those Thanksgiving calories to Turkey in the Straw.
