Been dancing again
I've been dancing again. Not modern dance - although I'd like to get myself moving in that direction too - but historical dance. I was invited to attend a second weekly class and have been enjoying myself immensely. I've discovered that I've missed partnering work. I've never done this kind of partnering, in a formal social dance setting, but it still reminds me of when I was in the dance company and how we would have to work things out together. It's a different experience when someone is specifically relying on you. I'm about 100 years older than many of the dancers but hopefully I'm moving too fast for anyone to notice. :-)
Last week we watched this utube video of a group in the US at Stanford performing the Mazurka Quadrille. I enjoyed it so much that I've been watching it daily ever since. I love watching the fabrics flow and the weaving movement.
Our group has been working on the Mazurka and I tell you what, I'm totally puffed afterwards. I really need to do some stamina work if I'm going to do this historic dance stuff! Onto the Nordic Track it is!

Looks like great fun.
I was down at the beach today and there was a good wave and surfers. Gotta get myself back into shape, too! Gotta get back into the water before we move away from here.
