Body roll sandwiches
Just a quick post about my visit to JJ’s last Tuesday…
I made a few notes about the class last week so that when I managed to get round to making this blog post, I’d have something to write about…
Well here’s verbatim the notes I made…
intermediate…
double-handed turn into swizzle
R-L figure of 8
Open neck-break.
Lasso body roll
Not exactly verbose, was I? Anyway, the names of the moves more-or-less speak for themselves… Have only two comments about the class…
- Lots of turning! Lots of dizzy girls!
- I am no good at body rolls.
We had a special guest teacher from Dundee in place of Franck, which certainly changed the style of moves done in the class, but also the style of music that was played in the freestyle…
I’m trying to remember details of the freestyle, but all I can think is that I enjoyed it… Hang on, a couple of moments of particular note are coming back to me…
A strange comment from a girl asking for a dance – she said something like “sorry I’m not up to your usual standard.” I wasn’t sure how to take that… A compliment to the girls I enjoy dancing with, certainly… Is there though an implication of “hot-shot” within it? I don’t know if I danced with any absolute beginners on Tuesday, but I certainly danced with a few who were not up to the standard of this lady. Certainly gave me something to ponder…
A dancer I hadn’t seen for a few weeks was disappointed that I didn’t include a move she particularly enjoys in our first dance, so I had to have a second dance and make sure and include it once or twice… It’s funny how folks can begin to expect moves from you… I wonder if this means it’s one of my signature moves? Hmm…
Besides that, I remember having lots of great dances, and some rather sexy dances. There’s some really sexy dancers to be found in Glasgow these days, and with their help I’m hopefully becoming a sexier dancer too…
After the freestyle a bunch of us went to grab something to eat as part of the farewell to Steve, who’s off to Australia for a few months in a week or so’s time… That was good, though getting home at 1 am on a school night isn’t recommended.
Anyway, thanks Steve, thanks sexy dancers, and thanks to everyone else. One more great night at Jumpin’ Jaks!
