You could be inclined to think, from reading this blog, that all I do is quilt.
However, once a week, our friend, Moira, takes me to a beginners line dancing class.
From time to time line dancing groups get together for socials and we were invited to attend one in Rotorua on Sunday.

People had gathered from all over the North Island of New Zealand to celebrate Jeanette Last's 20 years as a line dancing instructor for the Geyserland Line Dancing group.
You could help yourself to tea and coffee during the day and at 12 noon we stopped briefly for lunch - fresh bread rolls for everyone with tables spread with salad fillings of your choice. Apples and bananas were provided as well. A simple but effective way of feeding the over 130 people in attendance.
There were people of all shapes, sizes and ages (well almost). One lady was 95 and still participating.

Some were dressed up in the full western regalia, some came in groups wearing the 'uniform' for their group but you could have just as easily worn t-shirt and jeans and fitted in.
All in all a fun day out and so lovely to observe a community of people enjoying themselves in this way.

There's a group in my community, too, but I've never tried it. It does look like a lot of fun.
Good for you! I bet it is really good exercise too. Have fun
