All classes went smoothly, my recurring nightmare of having given someone the wrong time for class didn't happen (phew!) and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
A huge thank you to all of you who were so keen to get back to it - for signing up, paying up and turning up. For following the rules and dancing your socks off on a really hot evening. At least we didn't mind having all the doors open.
There was quite a lot of work involved to get to this point, but so well worth it to be dancing again. If anyone had told me in March 2020 that I wouldn't be dancing for 18 months, I wouldn't have believed them, but then, would anyone have believed most of what has happened in that 18 months?
I was pretty shattered when I got in on Thursday evening after dancing for 4 hours and being out for 7 hours (7 hours out of the house - long time since that happened!!) 18 months ago, I would have thought nothing of dancing for 4 hours, but it was a bit of a shock to the system. Thankfully, my memory held up, only 2 little slip ups in the Intermediate class and one of those was only because both dances start with the same step! Hopefully, the body will catch up with the memory in a week or two and I'll find it easier to do the four hours.
I think everyone enjoyed themselves. You all seemed to go away with a smile on your face.
If you've not signed up for this session, which runs until 22nd July, and would like to join us in the future, let me know. I can't guarantee a place, at the moment there is only one space in the Intermediate class, but if you're on the waiting list, I can let you know if a space comes up in the next block of classes.
See you soon!
