Yesterday I had to restrain myself from adding to this blether immediately; we had such an excellent time at the Monday class and everyone danced so well. We covered 'reels of 3' - then started with just 1/2 reels in 'butterscotch & honey' going onto reels in promenade hold in the super 5 couple 'Fisherman's Reel' and then solo reels in the lovely 'Moneymusk'. We even had time left over to indulge in 'Good Hearted Glasgow' as a finisher. Despite several people being unavoidably away, the generosity of some of our experienced dancers, who attend this class to give us a hand, means we keep numbers and energy levels high and achieve an amazing amount.
Tuesday could have been a disappointment but instead it was another excellent night, even though we had lower numbers than normally. We reintroduced both Tri-Mariner and Clutha to the class and even the less experienced dancers picked them up quickly and did amazingly well. With fewer dancers available to make up sets it was a challenging night of practically non-stop dancing for some, but great fun- we even managed 2 sets up for the 3 couple 'MacDonald of the Isles'. We have to thank Mark for doing some sterling work behind the bar to keep our hydration levels up - though in some cases it was hard to find time to drink our drinks once we got them. Roll on next week.
