It was the best of times…
… it was the worst of times…
What a day! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Some great things happened today, some truly awful things happened.
I’m going to my bed early tonight, but before I forget them, here are the moves from the class…
Beginners’: first move push spin, yo-yo, comb, step across.
Intermediate: sway flip-flop; into sway catapult, finishing with a two-handed return to go into double-handed yo-yo into a secret cheek-to-cheek; turn and spin out into a first-move one-handed catapult, back to the start…
Didn’t ever get the secret cheek-to-cheek to work to my satisfaction. Almost did my shoulder in trying.
Other moves were good, plus I tried out a couple of new moves that I’ve seen and got them working well enough to make me happy.
Also had some advice on my side-to-side, across, wrap-in problems. Apparently because it’s sort-of a sway, I should do the lead downwards thing you do with a sway. Will have to try that out and see if it makes the difference.
But that’s enough for tonight. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have time to go over the other things that want to make me laugh and cry. Over-all, I’m more in a laughing mood.
Good night!
(And good-night.
