We’re a crazy group of people, but that’s what we did!
In attempt to teach the gentlemen in our Civil War society how to properly “lead” the ladies while dancing, Angie came up with the brilliant idea of blindfolding all the girls! It was very amusing to watch, I’m sure, and forced all the guys to give firm hands/arms to their partners and direct them about.
I was dancing most of the time, but a friend was kind enough to snap these pictures with our camera for us! I thought you might enjoy.
[Note: this is not what we do when dancing at reenactments and balls. this is for practice purposes only!]
I certainly hope the blindfolds played their part in perfecting our dancing skills, but personally I was glad when they came off and I could see where I was going! We ended our practice with some of our favorite dances, Gothic Dance, Virginia Reel, and the Snowball Reel.
Have a great day!
