Glen Echo Contra Dance Bumper Car Pavilion Aug 8 08

Jocelyn shot this clip at the second of the dances we attended at Glen Echo. I can't recall the name of the band, but I bought a CD titled "Beeswax Sheepskin" that has most of the players who were there that night. The caller was from New Hampshire and I can't recall his name either. The dance was held in Glen Echo's Bumper Car Pavilion. It was a fun night with good dancers. This dance seemed to have a higher percentage of experienced dancers which made it a more enjoyable experience than the Friday night dance, held in the Spanish Ballroom (what a large and beautiful room), that was three times the size and easily had thirty percent new dancers which required much simpler dances and lots of help and direction during the dances. This is just a snippet that was captured before the nearly full memory card maxed out.
