Another two classes and lots more fun. People are getting back just in time for the ball - phew - and with lots of energy for the classes.
With a different combination of participants, yet again, the Monday class still buzzed with energy. We tackled reels of 3, again, and again, and again... and then we danced Catch the Wind followed by Moneymusk, like pro's! Well done everyone. Tuesday started gently, people filtering in, faces we hadn't seen for a while, as happy to be back as we were happy to see them, greetings and hugs. An evening that contained both dancers and non-dancers, some coming to just see what it was all about - others reluctantly having to sit out, when they would prefer to be on the dance floor, but still enjoying the company, as their partners made up the sets. And the dancing was excellent! We videoed the Strathspey, 'Letham Ladies', near the end of the session, so well done to everyone who was willing to dance it, even though most people will have been fairly tired by then. It wasn't perfect, but it was close, and it didn't have to be demonstration level - as a simple guide to how the dance goes it will be really useful in the future. Everyone worked really hard and got the timing right, a tricky thing to do in this dance, despite the moves themselves being ultra easy - so well done. It's now onto the ball which is this Saturday... Don't Panic!... Actually it's going to fabulous. We haven't managed to sell that many tickets but everyone going is linked to the classes somehow and it's going to be so much fun getting everyone together. We need help in the morning putting up decorations - it helps to get us all in the mood - so anyone free who wants to give us a hand - join us at the Kamares Club at 10 a.m. and we'll put you to work! Otherwise I look forward to seeing you at 6.30 pm Saturday night in your best bibs & tucker and ready to party!
