Busywork

Burned new CD to harddrive, so we can use single tracks for classes.  And before anyone screams PIRATE or Piracy, with our APRA/AMCOS licence it's legal. Heh. We found a cd that 8 out of 9 tracks are great for dancing. Unlike others we had sampled, where maybe one track is suitable, and the rest are good for 'background music' only.

It's all in the technique

Todays dance class was a tough one, for the students. It was a technique class.  Rad was having difficulties she thought from her lack of ability. Viv had similar problems. Turns out the majority of their problems stemmed from not having the weight on the right part of the foot (ie weight forward on the toes, rather than settled back on the heels or flats of feet) or weight on the wrong foot. Worked really hard on getting that down. Worked pretty good too.

Was ravenously hungry afterwards,but restrained myself from eating a roasted cow,or othersuch overly large lunch. Heh. Technique classes are intense, much more so than rehersals.
