Our First in Person Dance Last Wednesday. That rather awkward feeling . . . a fog of shyness, like in high school dances, . . After my year of dancing with my wonderful mop and broom partners at home, who are marvelously available and infitely loyal to me.. I need to re-learn how to connect with a less-controllable human partner IN-PERSON... how do we do that again? Mike and I had a slow-rolling marvelous time getting our feet back into waltz rhythm. Choreographing a simple waltz pattern, Just holding both hands and facing each other -- a lovely thrill, Feeling the weight of his arms in my hands, Reawakening my instincts for leading and following -- how does that work again? So we took it slowly, getting synchronized on the basics. No hurry, just enjoying getting back into the swing of it. Come join us weekly Wednesdays, and monthly Sundays. Don't worry if you are not "good enough." None of us are at this point, so nice to ease into it, safely distanced both for germs and for wayward feet that don't remember the 1-2-3 4-5-6 or side-side-rock-step swing rhythms. Your dancing spirit is ready to revive
