bjarvisLast Saturday was the first of three all-day class sessions for our new Plus dancers.
In all, we had 12 new dancers and an embarrassing number of angels: we could have put three squares on the floor if there was enough space. I was on hand to angel, but was content to let others dance while I alternated between studying Warren's instructional methodology and composing A2 material for my next calling gig.
Through the course of the day, we got through acey-deucey, teacup chain, ping pong circulate, load the boat, spin chain thru, extend, peel off, linear cycle, coordinate, track II and diamond circulate. Warren is intentionally keeping each of spin chain thru, spin chain the gears and spin chain & exchange the gears in separate class sessions to prevent confusion; I believe he's also doing the same for cut the diamond and flip the diamond. I'm torn between putting relay the deucey into the 2nd session (to allow maximum repetition through the course) or the 3rd session (since it's the hardest call of the lot, IMHO).
