Damage: two blisters, a huge bruise, and a numb toe. Clearly I should invest in some new dancing shoes.
I didn’t even dance nearly as much as I had planned. I originally wanted to go to the Sunday night dance as well, but I had other issues that clouded my mind most of the weekend and I didn’t plan for the three hour break between classes and the nightly dances.
The dance I did go to on Saturday night was an absolute blast, though. So many talented, lovely people. The band was absolutely amazing. The venue was beautiful. I felt overly stimulated, even. Whenever someone came up to ask me to dance I just sort of gaped at them and nodded. I didn’t feel I was at my best, though. Just from other things that clouded my mind and watching all of the dancers Saturday night, I felt a little like Bambi out there. I’m such a shy little thing.
The classes were pretty fun too, though I do wish I had gone with the intermediate track. As much as it doesn’t hurt to learn more about connection and 20s/30s Charleston… after five minutes I kind of had it down.
I’d really love to take like a week off and just spend time at home and in the City dancing. I’d really like to visit more venues up there.
Thank you kindly for the dance, sir! It was nice meeting you. I look forward to seeing all of the videos pop up online....
