OOAH!

Every Sunday you said? When are you guys holding an actual dance? I accidentally went to a 4 n 8'ers dance in Hillsborro back in November...sadly one of the last ones in that hall. But I woke my skills back up! I might stop by for a bit. From 3 to what though, 5?

Square dancing is in my blood, I don't go as often anymore but when I go I still keep the spirit alive. If I practice I might even get back into calling again.

Yes every Sunday, until we hold the graduation! Our dances are 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month. Yep 4 n 8' ers went bye-bye sadly. Lessons go until 4:30 and Round Dance starts at 5....

SO true!

I'm actually gonna start sq dancing with my mother...It's at the same time so I wonder if it's the same one...

And if it is, I guess I'll see you sunday!

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #4 on:** January 08, 2009, 08:05:27 pm »

Here's what's funny, should I come in cosplay or square dance attire?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #5 on:** January 08, 2009, 11:11:42 pm »

@ nekovamp13 - Maybe... did you go last week...

@ Jason - Sqaure Dance... wait for the Halloween Dance

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #6 on:** January 08, 2009, 11:55:26 pm »

Alright then my cosplay will be...a square dance veteran. Though I might come to learn how to Round Dance finally.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 09, 2009, 01:41:34 am »

I wasn't there last week. But I'm going this sunday.
And what kind of shoes should I wear?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #8 on:** January 09, 2009, 08:52:19 am »

@ Jason - LOL... have fun...by the way K.C. is our SQ caller and teacher and Bev is still the cuer....

@ nekovamp13 - wear comfy shoes... flat and the slide on a wood floor. NO Black bottom shoes! I will be looking for you!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:31:10 pm »

Yeah, I talked with my mother, bout it. Would you like a pic of myself, so you know who you'll be looking for?

...
Even if you don't care, here's one anyway ^_^

And I'll be learning the guy's part.
I'm very excited!!!

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #10 on:** January 11, 2009, 12:19:39 am »

Okey! I will see you tomorrow!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2009, 12:25:36 am »

Coolio!
*is excited!*

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #12 on:** January 11, 2009, 12:38:39 am »

I will try to remember to have my hair in PigTails

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 11, 2009, 12:55:39 am »

lol
That would help, but I'll probably reconize your face!

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #14 on:** January 11, 2009, 12:40:11 pm »

Ok! See you at 3!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:15:12 pm »

God, this was so much fun!

Just wondering, do you own a skirt that has flames on it?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:19:58 pm »

LOL! I am glad you like it!

Yes I do... I have not wore it in a while though!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:24:51 pm »

You are her!!!
I went to a Jambori last year, and I remember you now! I was just sitting on the side, drawing, while my mom was out dancing.

Also, wondering where you live? For possible rides to/from the lessons. My mom is gonna try and join this one. The biggest problem is the cost. Don't have enough to do 10 every week.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #18 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:59:29 pm »

I wish I could have made it today. When does Toe Draggers actually dance? I forgot. Even more, how did it go?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2009, 06:44:00 pm »

@ nekovamp - I think I remember that a little! I live in Tigard on Bull Mountain

@ Jason - Sorry.... We dance every 1st and 3rd fridays..... The lessons were smaller then last week though

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 12, 2009, 04:27:36 pm »

Okay. *is clueless of where that actually is...*
My mom is making me learn the guy's part. Beacause they get more dance time (usually more girls than guys) and less spinning! (I can't handle it...)
I might ask to dance with you so you can help me!

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #21 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:24:48 pm »

Look it up on a Map..... it is hard to say where

That is fine with me... I am learning guys part sometimes

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:42:25 pm »

And now I wish it were sunday again...TT.TT

Gah!!!!!!!!! I can't remember you and your bro's names!!!!!!!!!!! I hate having a horrible memory!!!!!!!!! And can I get you phone number? Since you have mine.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #23 on:** January 13, 2009, 12:28:08 am »

Well once everyone thinks they're ready, would someone like to pull a meetup together? Except the cosplayers would have to have their characters wear western attire. Or is that more of a Halloween thing?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #24 on:** January 13, 2009, 06:31:30 pm »

@ NekoVamp- LOL
Amanda and Jonny... I sent you a text but I think my cell is on the first post

@ Jason - Oh that would be fun! But we would need more people learning Square Dance

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #25 on:** January 13, 2009, 08:08:50 pm »

I'll have to see what I'm doing next Sunday and stop by at the lessons.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 18, 2009, 05:11:47 pm »

I can't text...
But thanks!

Missed you today TT.TT

And we really do need to have a meet up. We could have people learning, and those who already know can have a turn as well. It's sad that not many people want to do it.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #27 on:** January 18, 2009, 08:01:39 pm »

@neko - Oh... i see

Sorry... Jonny had All State Choir...

It would be awesome...

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 19, 2009, 05:23:42 pm »

He's in choir?! Sweet!

So, I'm now a man of square dancing! I actually get the men's part better than the women's.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #29 on:** January 22, 2009, 07:09:26 pm »

Well you could be a good stand in for a square with one less guy then.
Oh! And there are some moves where you end up temporarily partnered girl with girl and guy with guy.
And at some events there are fun badges that you can earn by dancing with crazy conditions. Like a balloon between your legs, lemon in your mouth trying to mess the caller up, your partner is a broomstick,you're blindfolded, even areas like dancing in a swimming pool, or on roller skates...anything you can think of they might have a badge for. ^_^ *dies from so much knowledge...9 lives left*

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #30 on:** January 22, 2009, 11:16:54 pm »

@ Neko - Yep Yep!
Super .... I will not be at Lessons again it is MidWinter

@ Jason - lol oh and it is MIDWINTER time! YEAH I am happy!

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #31 on:** January 23, 2009, 07:52:25 pm »

*smack-head* Oh yeah! If I don't make it to mid-winter there's always next time or...isn't there a mid-summer too?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #32 on:** January 23, 2009, 10:06:18 pm »

*confused*
Care to explain?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #33 on:** January 23, 2009, 10:10:28 pm »

Ya know, square dancing is the official state dance of Washington.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #34 on:** January 23, 2009, 10:17:01 pm »

Wash: Really?!?!? That's cool! Do you do it yourself?

It's sad. I mention that I started doing square dancing to my friends and they just stare...TT.TT Why is the world so cruel???

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #35 on:** January 24, 2009, 10:27:30 am »

@ Jason - There is a Summer Festival

@ Neko - It is when all the Square Dancers of Oregon come together and we dress and have fun!

@ Wash - It is also Oregon's Dance

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #36 on:** January 25, 2009, 06:52:45 pm »

So yeah, it belongs to "southern" Washington and "northern" Oregon, and thanks for the reminder.

But yeah, think of mid-winter as Oregon's square dance con. And compared to other conventions including kumoricon, one of the most physically involved cons. I wish I had the endurance to dance more when the national convention came to Portland. There you meet dancers from around the world. One year they even had it at Disneyland.

As you can see, I have so much, probably too much to talk about when it comes to square dancing.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #37 on:** January 25, 2009, 08:21:02 pm »

I AM HOME!

Well all of Oregon... Well this year it is in Astoria....

So is Summer Fes.! Hey Jason you got to come to Summer Fes next year 2010.... the Rogers are Chairman and I am helping with something. The National is down in Long Beach, Cal this year.... Nationals are always fun...

Me too! Square Dancing is my second live!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 25, 2009, 09:07:23 pm »

Oh cool! I'd love to go sometime (once I actually learn it better)

God, my feet hurt...I had SD and then went rollorskating with my youth group...Ow...

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #39 on:** January 25, 2009, 10:06:33 pm »

I am not going to Oregon's Summer Festival this year .... I am going to Washington's

LOL I am sorry... actually not really I have been dancing all weekend

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #40 on:** January 28, 2009, 06:51:25 am »

True. But at least you were probably wearing comfortable shoes...Rollorskates are murderers to feet >.<*

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #41 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:24:26 pm »

first of all, yeah it does belong to both states. I have another group that has members in Washington who joke around and call Oregon "southern" Washington, and so we joke back and call Washington "northern" Oregon.

Second, Long Beach I'll keep in mind. And who might suspect the convention could have a surfing theme?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #42 on:** January 28, 2009, 09:09:40 pm »

@neko - True but it was on the was floor

@Jason - Yep Yep! Oh I know we and they have fun with that!
Ok! No idea, we still have not filled out the form

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #43 on:** February 04, 2009, 12:34:22 am »

Are new people still able to come? I want to invite my girlfriend, but I don't want to ask if she couldn't come anyway...And I would teach her the moves that we've already done.

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #44 on:** February 04, 2009, 07:32:48 pm »

Only the first three weeks... The class has been moving fast.... and you missed last week.... You can bring her and have her watch

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #45 on:** February 05, 2009, 03:44:12 pm »

Okay. If she just watch, would she still have to pay?

Shingami_lover · « **Reply #46 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:57:21 pm »

Nope! But if she got up and tried yes she would

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 06, 2009, 05:30:36 pm »

Okay! I'll see if she can come! Though, it may not be 'til next week.
