bjarvisOur biweekly C1 dance session last night went very well, I think.
Most of the figures I wrote went very smoothly, although a couple could be edited slightly for clarification. A handful turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated to dance, but not catastrophically so: most of those figures will be moved from my "easy" stack to the "medium" stack and two will move from "medium" to "hard."
There were also a couple figures which crashed severely and I couldn't see why at that moment; I'll have to re-examine them carefully to see if it was my cuing, my choreo or our square messing up a call in some subtle way.
I hope my self-critique above doesn't give the impression the evening was a disaster: I tend to be my own harshest critic. Despite these little hiccups, the vast majority of the figures danced very well and there were even a few cheers for some clever bits here & there.
When the dancers leave the hall smiling and laughing at the end of the evening, it's a successful dance. Last night, we succeeded.
Next gig: Tonight, calling class-level Mainstream, full Mainstream and Plus for the DC Lambda Squares.
