\"Our

Our Au Pair Cluster<\/p><\/div>\n

This month, our au pair cluster joined three others and ventured out to Boylston, MA for\u00a0 country linedancing at Bay Path Barn.<\/p>\n

\"Learning

Learning the steps<\/p><\/div>\n

Au Pairs lined up in a big hall and followed owner Mary Rinker’s dance step instructions.\u00a0 Mary first walked everybody through a dance without the music and then we got to practice with music.\u00a0 \u00a0 It took a little while getting used to the different steps, but it became easier to follow along as time went on.\u00a0 Dances we learned included the Cotton Eyed Joe, the Mama Maria and the Kick Step.<\/p>\n

Also part of our meeting this month was a talk about winter driving and cold\/flu prevention.\u00a0\u00a0 This satisfies the State Department requirement of an quarterly child development\/safety meeting.\u00a0 We also welcomed our newest arrivals who had a chance to connect with the group.<\/p>\n

Check out these two videos of au pairs first learning the steps, and then practicing them with a song:<\/p>\n
