Friday Night Square Dance

I was calling for the Zig Zaggers in northern Virginia last night, my first time with the group. On the whole, it was a pretty good time!

It's never been a very large group but so early in the season, many folks are still travelling, away on vacation and so on so it's smaller than usual. In fact, having [livejournal.com profile] kent4str and [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr with me ensured we had five couples.

It's generally an older club than I'm used to calling for so I chose moderately paced music but per [livejournal.com profile] justetthon's advice, I didn't exercise much restraint on the harder material. There were errors but they were occasional and more or less evenly distributed so I chalk it up to random chance. In at least on case, much pain would have been saved if I had just read my own materially correctly... doh! Memo to self: scoot & dodge != scoot & weave. :-)

We'll be back for dancing on the rare Fridays our schedule is clear, especially if [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr is in town.

DOH !

Glad it went OK! I told you they can take what you dish out, albeit at a slower pace than you might be accustomed to. The group is a terrific bunch of folks. Thanks again for covering for me; I spent the night mired up in paperwork for the pending live-in help for my ailing mother. I might start a thread out there on my LJ called "My Mother, My Child" to share my experiences lately.

see you later! Ett
