\"Welcome

Welcome Au Pairs!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

On a cold autumn evening last weekend, two clusters and our many guests enjoyed an evening of good old-fashioned line dancing with Cowgirl Mary Rinker at the Bay Path Barn. Although the barn was cold when we arrived, it soon heated up with the tunes of American country western favorites.\u00a0 Au pairs, many in their boots and cowgirl clothing, seemed to get into the spirit immediately and the fun began when we tried out the first dances that Mary had taught us.<\/p>\n

After 2 straight hours of line dancing, the au pairs were heated up and ready for a break!\u00a0 We used the time to catch up with each other, to welcome our many new au pairs, and to say farewell to those that had finished their year in the USA!\u00a0 All in all, we had a great time.\u00a0 It was the perfect way to spend time together before heading out into the darkness.<\/p>\n

Line dancing is particularly well suited for our gathering because all interested participants can learn the steps quickly and it requires no partner.\u00a0 The best part is that the steps can be adapted to all sorts of music and it is great exercise. Language is optional as we just follow the demonstrations.\u00a0 Everyone lines up, (that\u2019s why we call it line dancing!) and the fun begins.\u00a0 So, as we like to say at line dancing, \u201cYee Haw, Cowgirl!\u201d<\/p>\n
