Challenge Square Dancing Class & Workshop

Around 11 AM, folks started to arrive for today's C1 workshop. Three of our club had attended Ken Ritucci's C1 boot camp last weekend but they had run out of time before they could cover about 1/3 of the C1 list. Today, we nailed the rest.

We split the day into two parts. Dayle Hodge called & taught the first three hour block; [livejournal.com profile] kent4str and I took the latter portion. I had thought Dayle was actually going to be with us the entire day but he had already agreed with [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr and [livejournal.com profile] kent4str to help out during the morning only. I missed that memo.

While I prefer to be vastly better prepared, the list of calls remaining were relatively easy and we knocked those off in quick order. The remaining portion of the evening was spent dancing & drilling both the calls of today and the ones from last weekend.

During the three hour break between dance sessions, we had a brief planning meeting related to our upcoming Harvest Festival Hoedown in November, largely dealing with the dance schedule. There's more drafting to be done but the schedule is coming together nicely. Personally, the only big news is that I'm in charge of assembling a list of callers for the 2009 HFH (Yeah, [livejournal.com profile] billeyler, you're in the list. No guarantees though: the committee as a whole needs to vote on the finalists.).

It was a successful dance and the newbies are dancing very well. I'm exhausted though and am now looking forward to an evening of rest.

I missed that part of the post when I first read it on the 27th! :-)

Don't get your hopes up too high: I'm just composing a list of candidates at this point. True, the odds are in your favour because you're not local, we haven't had you out on the east coast for a while and you're not a staffer for our 2009 convention, but I don't want you to be hurt or excessively disappointed if the committee as a whole choses a different set of callers based on additional criteria.

Believe me, I'm just happy when people remember I'm still alive!

Hugs...
