Written 1/31/2024. I’m so happy, my Goddaughter Jess came with her mom (yes, a very good friend) to dancing tonight. They could only stay for the lesson, but both had smiles on their faces while learning the basic steps. Each week the usuals come. It’s nice to get to know each person and their dance styles. This week for me I was practicing how to telegraph what I want my partner to do. As I’m leading, it’s my job to give her instructions. It may be a push of the hand, a hand on the back or one of many kinds of moves to indicate what I want her to do. For example, we usually hold on the left (my left, her right hand). If I want to do a right-hand pass (which includes a twirl). I raise up my left hand, palm outward while stepping to the left. She will do a clockwise twirl through the slot so that we are now facing in the opposite direction.
End of the Month and my Goddaughter came dancing!
