"Swing gently, many beginners are affected by dizziness at first."
Ill rush home and say:
Ma, quickly! Youve got to tell me
Everything you know about traditional folk music!
I like to pretend I know it all,
But Im realizing I dont really have to.
For once, I want to be behind the beat,
Laughing in spite of myself as you spin me around
And trust that my legs will follow, even if my feet get in the way.
I would make the worst contra dancer ever,
Only because partners rotate
And I just want to dance with you.
