Calling from a distance

I'm sat in the gloom of a Manchester winter afternoon enjoying the much brighter recollection of yesterday's 'Monday' class - (and it's always a shock how just a few hours travelling can create the impression that yesterday was a lifetime away). We welcomed some super newcomers to the class, and as they provide a good introduction to many dance basics, we covered several of the dances that will be on tonight's 'fun and familiar' dance program. I hope the folk who attend both session will have the confidence to get up and join in those dances, doing them again so soon will help to cement them into their memories - and it will be a help to Pete too, who in my absence will be trying to get everyone through the next two week's programs all by himself.
In the meantime I have a few days in Manchester then I am travelling (weather permitting) up to the fabulous Atholl Palace Hotel that hosts the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society's (RSCDS) Winter School in Pitlochry every year. I will then get my dose of teaching for the year to keep my standards up - what I do for the class! Just a reminder - Monday 17th - class is cancelled: otherwise nothing is changed, Tuesdays are functioning as normal​

My home next week - sad eh!
