Thanks for putting the groups names on the video. I was at the convention & filmed the exhibitions a different day. Unfortunately I don't know where I left the program & forgot the groups names.

square dancing has a lot of high energy to it. it keeps the old ticker going hehehehe. it's a very good aerobic exercise. a square dancer will live longer than a pro athlete.

why are the skirts so long in that first one?

[PollyannasWorld]

First I was going to say that the exhibitioners represent dancers from a certain period and they dress according the the period (in this case when long calico dresses were the syle) but I realize the music does definately seem more modern than the dress. Perhaps someone else can commment.

I still loved watching them, even if dress and music weren't of the same era.

This is exhibition dancing, not just a bunch of people dancing just for fun. They chose a "costume". If this were people just dancing for fun, you'd see a variety of colors and styles.
