| | I really think I had more fun at this KWDMS than I have at any other. Probably because I let myself have more fun. I took more classes and I spent more time dancing. Recipe for excellence!
Best moments?
• Teaching – class went vey well – more people than expected showed and they seemed to have a great time – got good feedback and I am already looking forward to teaching it better with some more improvements.
• Reconstruction class – I didn’t teach it. And I didn’t go to it. But my work on reconstruction was cited as “the best thing out there describing what to do so why reinvent the wheel” and then directing the students to read it over the internet.
• Canary with Del – Hawt! I love dancing. I was even telling someone that about 6 years ago I’d had a Canary dance off with Del in the barn at about 2 am at Pennsic. And I think they sort of rolled their eyes or thought I was making it up. Midair announced that the request dance for that set would be Il Canario and Del looked at me exactly at the same time. It was on all over again. Thankfully we both had hard sole shoes on and got to really put on a good show for everyone. And I got right in his face. It as broughten! lol.
• Midair leading the ball Saturday night. He runs things a lot like I do – keeps it moving and thanks the musicians and projects. I want to have some other people pay attention to him more so they can get better at it.
Other highlights:
• Playing for parts of Thursday’s Ball. I didn’t like most of the dances so I sat in with the pit for a good part of it which is a rare treat since I am usually dancing.
• Class with Rosina. I didn’t dance but I got to watch her. I probably will not see her for many more years so I am happy I had the chance.
• Herald’s in Lust – Fun variation and quite a surprise. Perfect thing to do in the middle of the night.
• Staying up late with friends. I hardly ever stay up past 3am!
• Dinner with friends and dinner alone with Kelly – both good fun.
• Private showers in the dorms.
• Getting exciting for other people’s work and seeing some up and coming dancers really start to show promise.
• Three nights of balls all in a row.
• Dressing up pretty!
• Galliards!
• Did I mention the Canary???
• Getting excited about the next KWDMS and thinking of ways that I can help with the planning.
• Feeling a bit like a rock star.
Ready for the next please! I feel so energized by all the fun I had!
Thanks to everyone who put it on and thanks to everyone who came to support the event. I love our community! Yeah dancing! |
