Well, it is fun, but it is also terrifying for newbie dancers.  I
remember the first time I danced Strip the Willow.  I was all of 4'11"
and weighed something in the 85-95 range.  All of the men in the line
were gargantuan heavy fighters.  I just *knew* someone was going to
throw me across the hall...!!!
