Behold the Dorkness!

I don't realize we were being photographed while teaching a Plus square dance class a week ago, but clearly it happened: this photo is on the DC Lambda Squares web site.



Last night's Plus class went pretty well. The new Plus dancers recalled 'relay the deucey' surprisingly well from the prior week. They ate up diamond formations, 'diamond circulate,' 'flip the diamond,' 'chase right' and 'grand swing thru' with ease.

Long-time square dance caller Butch Adams was attending as well, getting to know the dancers and what they're capable of doing in preparation for a workshop he'll be leading with them this coming Saturday. He also had a few tips for us which I'll analyze and incorporate into our next course; there's only two classes and five calls left to this course and justetthon is teaching next Monday while we're in Canada.

In general, Butch gave us a very supportive review for the course progress and our teaching style. He facilitates local caller discussion groups periodically; if we're available, we'll likely attend the next as it comes up.

PS. I'm calling in Baltimore for the Chesapeake Squares tonight.

Nice shorts! NHML = Naked Hairy Man Leg

its actually a nice photo of the two of you doing something you love.

but with the two different mics, it makes me want to say "I'm a little but country, i'm a little bit rock and roll"

You forgot Butch lead them through 'dixie grand', too. Little sponges, indeed.

And both mics are kinda inherited, or at least second-hand. My hand is covering the repair job on mine. But it sounds good.

okay, okay, is it just my aged eyes?

the photo looks in focus, except brian's mike cord, for a short distance in either direction from the lower hand. shirley the cord isn't divided as if it wuz an earphone cord going to two speakers.

i'm so confoozed.
