Public Square Dancing

Evening group dancing in a public square, with no barrier at all

The barrier is essentially nonexistent: turn up at a square in the evening, stand at the back of the rows and follow, with nobody screening you. The movements repeat heavily and a few passes is enough to learn them. It is free and needs no change of clothes. What it really provides is a daily reason to leave the house.

First stepIn the evening, go to the nearest plaza where a group dances to music, stand in the back row, follow one song through, and come back three evenings running.
