What's Your (non-tech) Hobby?

Slipped_Disk asks: "Being the curious sort, I was wondering what the Slashdot crowd did while you're not reading Slashdot or doing any of the other geeky things we usually do. So tell me, what is your non-techie hobby? I'm defining non-techie as stuff you do when you're not using a computer, so 'I play videogames' doesn't qualify, but 'I build game consoles' does. I'm especially interested in distinctly non-electronic stuff (ie: film photography, building models, training sociopathic attack cats, etc.). I'm looking forward to some interesting topics, here!"

Challenge Square Dancing

[shunnicutt]

I've been square dancing for almost thirteen years and I've reached the challenge-1 (C1) level, where the choreography begins to be far more complex and interesting. I dance about once a week with two different groups.

What's interesting about square dancing for me is that you learn the individual moves, or calls, and the caller tells you which moves to execute as you dance. Figuring out the 'syntax' of the dance is a lot of fun.

If you're cringing from the images of crinolines and western shirts dancing through your head, be aware that at the upper levels, most dance groups don't require traditional square dance attire. What's more, when I dance lower levels, I dance with my local gay square dance club -- gay square dance clubs have never required traditional outfits.
