Spring Fling

The bunny hop. Chicks on the floor. Look at those huge eggs. OK. I"m done now. :-)

When I first started looking for Easter dance vintage postcards I wasn't sure I'd find any. Easter is a Serious Religious Holiday, after all. But of course, there is also great joy associated with this day. And, Easter is rooted in many older traditions that celebrate the arrival of spring.

And what better reason to kick up your heels than the cold weather is finally gone? None that I can think of. Unless you count jelly beans and marshmallow chicks.

New Year Dance Postcards

Celebrating the dawning of a new year has been a part of human culture for a long time. Fortunately, dancing fits very well into any sort of revelatory event. Remember the Yuletide dancing chickens? For the New Year's Eve ball below, I give you...dancing cats and dogs!!! How egalitarian!




An elegant affair, I'm sure...




Technically these two are skating, but skating is a form of dance, after all.



An enchanting scene in the moonlight before or after the dance.




Me neither. :-) Kidding. My dances all belong to Gary.



Masquerade New Year's balls were common way back then.



Another masquerade party.




Sweet and old fashioned.




The New Year's kiss...especially nice at the end of a dip. I'm very much looking forward to mine.

A Pretty Vintage Poatcard



When Halloween was thought of as beautiful and magical.

Glad some of us still think so. :-)
