Dancing this week

My voice is more iffy, so I think we'll stick with the dances we did last week.

Possible dances this week

Not knowing who's going to show up this session, or how my voice will be by the time class comes around, I thought I'd post the dances I'm thinking of doing, in case you want to have a quick look ahead of time. I've blended Level 1 and 2 dances into this Level 2 list, and Level 2 and 3 dances into this Level 3 list.

To access more of our teaching videos ...

On the right hand side of this blog (on a computer, anyway) is a column with a first heading of 'Labels'. The fourth entry below that is 'Videos for dancing at home'. Clicking on that will bring up a large list of dances for which we've done teaching and dancing videos. At the top of that list is '8 videos with basic steps' with a link to a pdf. This is a good resource if you want to get beyond the very limited set of steps we learned in the very short Winter Session.
