Don’t seem to have as much time as I used to… Funny that…

Anyway, this post is just to make sure that my blog on its new host works OK.

The Glasgow party must have been the first freestyle event I’d been to without FH in ages. But despite her absence, I managed to enjoy myself.

Due to an over-chilled [...]

I went with JJ’s with FH last Tuesday, a day after we came back from holiday in Amsterdam over the weekend. After lots of walking around, and a bit of dancing on holiday, I was tired even before I got there, but I [...]

On Saturday afternoon I went to a Dips & Drops workshop in Dundee (not with my usual partner, but with another rather good dancer who dances in both Glasgow and Dundee.) It was taught by Lisa (Aberdeen teacher) [...]

For the first time in ages I made sure to turn up in time for the class…

I didn’t want this hot-shot thing to get out of hand, and with being away from JJ’s for so long, I figured it would be good to get my face seen, and [...]

There was a tea dance in the afternoon, then a late party in the evening. We were also meant to attend the party on the Friday night, but didn’t make it…

That was mostly my fault as I missed my train to Dundee and [...]

February wasn’t a good month for me, and nor was the start of March, but things are all good now.

At the start of February I went to Southport, got ill, and never really recovered… One illness followed another, most recently I’m just about over a cold which was the [...]

Haven’t been blogging for a while – busy life and all that….

But I was dancing at JJ’s tonight and I though I’d write a quick blog for those that missed it.

I haven’t been doing many classes of late – not so much as a [...]

I turned up late, missing the classes – I was feeling tired, and didn’t think I’d last the whole night if [...]

I’ve probably had nights when I’ve had less energy, but done better. I think it’s a state of mind thing. I went feeling tired and distracted, with this in my mind it wasn’t a surprise [...]

Not a bad night – I even arrived early! (-ish. )

I arrived during the beginner’s class, but not with the intention of helping out (hot-shot!) but just to make sure I didn’t miss [...]

Currently I’m missing [...]

I could write loads, but I don’t have the time at the moment, so instead, I’m going to copy my forum post to my blog.

Maybe if I find time during the week I’ll write more in detail…

[...]

Just the freestyle again…

I had planned to get there early, but got distracted with other things and ended up going along about 9-ish, and thus missing the intermediate class.

Conserving my energy for the coming weekend seems like a good idea though.

So, usual good JJ’s night… Nothing special to report, beyond that [...]

We did Red Hot and Blue in Edinburgh on Friday, the Ceroc party in Dundee on Saturday, and a Focus workshop & Smooth Grooves tea dance on Sunday.

So how was it all?

It was great.

The weekend started with Red Hot and Blue on Friday. I’d only been once [...]

What a fab night of dancing!!!

Just back from JJ’s and I’m buzzing!

And to think I almost didn’t go?!?!?!

I was tired, didn’t feel my best and was thinking that I could skip a night of dancing just the once… After all, some of my favourite dancers were likely [...]

And these nights are my favourite.

I arrived at my typical hot-shot time of a few minutes before the beginner’s class finished. Crowded again…

Can’t remember if I got a dance in the first freestyle… Maybe one? Think there was only 2 or 3 songs before the [...]

I was up to see a friend and go to the Saturday night party and Sunday tea dance of the Kirriemuir weekend.

Kirriemuir isn’t far from Dundee, though it’s on slow roads, so it’s about 30-40 minutes away by car…

This [...]

I arrived just as the “into freestyle” on the beginners’ class was happening. (Thought I would have missed it completely.) The first freestyle though was very short – 3 or 4 tracks, then on to the intermediate class.

Side-to-side step across block variation. Block on shoulder and ease to a gentle [...]

Not as handy for me, but I thought I’d go along anyway…

The Woodside Halls are hard to find – and a bit confusing because coming the obvious way you get to the small hall [...]
