Hyperreal

Just back from JJ’s. A very good night.

I’ll try to keep this post short… Let’s see what happens…

Beginners’ moves… Yo-yo, shoulder drop, first move, man spin. Good to get practice on the shoulder drop. I’m now much better at it, but, like the comb, because it comes straight on from a return I usually miss the opportunity to use it. Memo to self for next time: try more shoulder drops and combs. Memo to the women reading this: I’m just practicing the combs because I need to, not because I fancy you. (Though there’s always the chance that I do… )

Intermediate moves:

• Half pretzel with lean and wrap out into spin. Cool move. My move of the week.
• First move tea cup? Something like that. A nice variation to the first move that I’ll also try to keep.
• Side-to-side shoulders, let go, slide across, weird spinny thing involving a sprint round the lady, return, slo comb.

I didn’t manage to get that last move at all. Never was in the right position as I span my partner.

During the freestyle, I tried to dance with fewer of “the usual suspects”, and more people who were new to me. (Been trying to do this more the last week or so.) I really enjoyed pretty much all my dances. One good thing was that I danced with more beginners, and so I was better able to impress them with my limited repertoire of moves. Great for my ego and confidence. (Really need to find a way to build up a richer set of moves though.)

So, good dances, great music, fab new moves, a real good night. Thanks to all involved!

What more can I say? Remember to leave a comment!! Cheers!!!

(Hey, I actually managed to keep this post short!!)

PS> Thanks for noticing my hair cut (those of you that did.) And shame on you if you didn’t!
