A reporter from the Baltimore Sun happened by the dance pavilion at the city's gay pride festival last Sunday.
kent4str and I were just wrapping up an intro-to-dancing session with the Chesapeake Squares; the reporter stopped to ask a few questions.
Since we were already in full public demo mode, we had our talking points ready: square dancing is fun, social & healthy, we've been around for a while, we have an open house coming up, no prior experience is required, etc., etc.. We also ensured he had the Chesapeake Squares' brochure, business card and upcoming dance schedule in his hands before he left.
From that brief 5 minute conversation, we got a few paragraphs in an article covering the entire pride festival itself, available here.
I will now happily autograph various body parts on request.
( Click for the rest of last night's fun... )
We're skipping the C1 dancing tonight and probably DC's club night to catch up on rest and prepare for teaching a Plus class next week, calling for Chesapeake Squares's open house and DC's club night.
