strathspey Archive: Catmint

Seasonal Greetings;

We did a dance called "Catmint" on Friday night; the MC believed that it
came from Germany. Does anyone out there know anything about this
dance? (It worked quite well, providing we concentrated, but then
it was that sort of an evening!)

But does it include a figure in which you flop onto your back and roll
around in the catmint while making loud, rhythmic, sonic vibrations?

I was at the same dance on Friday - Malcolm must have better powers of
concentration than me - I got it wrong first time through. I may well have
FELT like rolling around on the floor by the time we had danced it twice,
but I don't think I was supposed to be making VOLUNTARY sonic vibrations!

Only on Saturday mornings while the kids are occupied watching the TV
cartoons. :-)
