NEFFA is a big dance event in April. Lots of contra dancing, international dancing, some ECD and some square dancing. I'm not sure how to create a link in LJ, but here is the URL: www.neffa.org
I am not a big fan of square dancing, I have to admit. Whenever one is called at our local contra dances, I sit it out. It could be that most contra dancers are lousy at square dancing, that I am lousy at square dancing or whatever, but it isn't my fave. I like the repetition of contra, because what attracts me to it is dancing with the entire room. I get into a groove, and it's pretty magical.
I prefer ECD to contra, because it is so subtle and deep. The better you get at it, the more you realise you have to learn. So you strive to get better at it. And realise that there are more depths to it. I really enjoy ECD.
