Our Au Pair Cluster
This month, our au pair cluster joined three others and ventured out to Boylston, MA for country linedancing at Bay Path Barn.
Learning the steps
Au Pairs lined up in a big hall and followed owner Mary Rinker’s dance step instructions. Mary first walked everybody through a dance without the music and then we got to practice with music. It took a little while getting used to the different steps, but it became easier to follow along as time went on. Dances we learned included the Cotton Eyed Joe, the Mama Maria and the Kick Step.

Also part of our meeting this month was a talk about winter driving and cold/flu prevention. This satisfies the State Department requirement of an quarterly child development/safety meeting. We also welcomed our newest arrivals who had a chance to connect with the group.
Check out these two videos of au pairs first learning the steps, and then practicing them with a song:
