Last Saturday night Bobbie, Sarah and I went to an English country dance in the manner of Jane Austen. This photo should look familiar as these are the same dresses they wore for last spring's Netherfield Ball. (Click here for a refresher.)
The crowd came mainly from the North Hills, but some people drove nearly two hours down from the Meadville, PA area. These English country dances started at Grove City College about an hour north of Pittsburgh. They have become so popular that the organizers are starting satellite events to reduce the crowds in Grove City.
Due to vague directions, we arrived about 20 minutes late, but joined in right away. We all enjoyed the dance. While Bobbie and I danced together for most of the time, I had trouble dancing with Sarah. She was fairly popular and seemed to already be taken most of the time.
We already have the second annual Netherfield Ball scheduled for this spring. In the meantime here is some video to show how it works. (Please note that as with most dances the girls outnumber the boys, so some doubling up always seem to happen.)
