Fun Flat-foot, Buck Dance, Paul Anderegg dances to Wild Asparagus

True story that Paul was dancing like no one was watching when I got out my FLIP camera and caught this great moment in time. Paul is amazing and dancing to the fabulous band, WILD ASPARAGUS!.- Paul is a ramrod straight dancer extraordinaire. Try this next time you are standing in a line bored to death :-)

Paul Anderegg was part of the 2009 Charlottesville Virginia Contra Festival dance weekend where he taught a flat-foot class. He does performances, programs, workshops, lessons, and has an instructional DVD that you can find on ebay or craigslist if you search on 'Flat-foot DVD'. He learned most of his style of dance from old-time Flat-footers of central Virginia area.

Have fun at 1:57 when Paul does 2 full circles. be sure to check out the 5:10 mark when Paul does an amazing move called the 'Funky Charleston', a move he learned from an old time flat-footer called Bobby Bowman.

Below are the lyrics to the song that starts playing at 3:40 or so: A great inspirational song for all of us during these times.

"Enjoy Yourself"

You work and work for years and years, you're always on the go;
You never take a minute off, too busy makin' dough.
Someday, you say, you'll have your fun when you're a millionaire --
Imagine all the fun you'll have in your old rockin' chair.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think;
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by as quickly as a wink --
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.

You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter, come what may;
You've got your reservations but you just can't get away.
Next year, for sure, you'll see the world, you'll really get around --
But how far can you travel when you're six-feet under ground?

Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette;
She's left you and she's now become somebody else's pet.
Lay down that gun, don't try, my friend, to reach the great beyond;
You'll have more fun by reachin' for a redhead or a blonde.
You never go to nightclubs and you just don't care to dance;
You don't have time for silly things like moonlight and romance.
You only think of dollar bills tied neatly in a stack;
But when you kiss a dollar bill, it doesn't kiss you back.

@therising1 Some men prefer the feel and flow of a skirt in Contra Dancing. It implies nothing of gender rolls or sexual orientation, anymore than a woman wearing jeans.
