Dec. 22nd, 2007 10:50 pmWork was boring: there was very little to do and very few people to create additional work. Ah, well... enjoy the calm while we can.

kent4str and I were scheduled to call jointly for the Zig Zaggers, an Advanced club in northern Virginia, 8-10 PM. I was more than a little worried we'd have insufficient dancers for even a single squares this close to the holidays but everyone seemed to arrive just before the 8 PM start time; in fact, we had a total of 12 dancers.
I think my part went pretty well: they did well on the warm-up figures, ran through my tougher ones with only a little hesitation and when they seemed ready for a small challenge, they stretched to the harder figures with some extra cuing.
The only downside is that the CSDS program we used decided to not display any of the formation figures in the dance calling screen. Typically this just means the figures has to be 'proofread' again but no amount of proof-reading would substitute (#formation#) for the graphical representation of the square. This wasn't a show-stopper but it was a little annoying: I prefer having the safety net handy to double-check my own assumptions where every dancer should be in a figure, particularly the harder ones. I may experiment on re-installing the application tomorrow to see if this helps.
We returned home around 10:30 PM, watched another episode of Babylon 5 (season 3) from DVD, then headed for bed.
