The dust kicks up off the old wooden floor as you walk into line and face your partner beneath the warm, rustic lights. You smooth down the pleated front of this stand-out Olga de Polga skirt, waiting for the fiddle to sing out the next number's first note. The caller steps up to the microphone, signals to the small band, and - zow! - the dance jumps into action. You promenade down the line, your partner's hand on this skirt's hidden side zipper, and then gracefully segue into a do-si-do, letting this lined skirt's crinoline layer sweep out romantically. Suddenly, the caller hollers, "Swing your partner!" and your dance mate whisks you around so fast that the orange peonies, mauve wood sorrels, and emerald leaves on this white skirt become a blur of motion. At the song's end, you thank your partner, and wander off to find a refreshment, so blissfully happy that you don't even notice the admiring stares of everyone you pass!
