The Day of Portugal in Falmouth included some very nice social dancing at the Portuguese American club with Pro Mix, a band from New Bedford. The floor is small but in very good shape. Dancers happy. Lots of one-step, slow and fast, some triples that looked like polka on some dancers and salsa on others. The twist, but we did swing.
A folkloric group from Cambridge just barely fit and did triples with hops and turns side by side. Hot and tiring when they had us try. The men played castanets accompanied by 2 guitars, a concertina, drum, tambourine and taka-taka, sort of a washboard or guiro.
The club schedule has dinner dances again October 27 and November 17.
