I've talked a lot about dancing and how much I love dancing, and I've also disappeared from this site a lot because I've been driving 2 hours to go dancing a couple times a week now. So, what is it that I am spending so much of my time doing, you may ask?

 

Well, on Saturday, I did a social blues demo and taught a workshop at a shopping mall with a dude named Chris, with whom I've been dancing for... not very long. (BTW, a "social demo" means that it's unchoreographed and unrehearsed. It's entirely lead/follow.) We have a good connection, but we don't read each other perfectly yet. There are a lot of technique issues that we need to work out because we come from different technical backgrounds, but for people who are just getting to know each other's "dance language," it went great. And the people at the workshop were THRILLED with us, which was awesome. I'm only sorry that we didn't tape some of the dances we did later that night at the party.

 

Ergo, I present to you, blues dancing. If you can find it in your area, or near your area, I highly recommend it.
