May 13th Black Cat Dance Leonard Snodgrass Called

For our Friday the 13th dance, Leonard Snodgrass called for our "Black Cat Dance," one of his favorite themes.  We use black-light for some of the dances and dancers dance mostly in black with a little white, and white gloves if they have them.  It makes the dancing a little difficult sometimes, but a lot of fun.  No one dressed up as the "black cat" this time, but with his remote microphone, Leonard wandered around the dance floor, always surprising unsuspecting squares.  Everyone was really "glowing" and a had a good time.

Leonard, who hails from Salem, calls for the Braves and Braids square dance club in McMinville, as well as the Sweet Home Squarenaders club.
