April 20 - Dance Xperience!

I had an amazing time at the Dance Xperience Orlando last weekend!  Had never met choreographers Neville Fitzgerald and Julie Harris before, or DJ Dave Baycroft and wife Pauline.  Great people!

There were 11 dances scheduled to be taught over the weekend - and then there was a bonus teach!  Some of the dances I had been taught before (Part of the List, Die A Happy Man, You're So Beautiful,  Go To Work, and How I Want Ya) which meant my brain didn't have to totally fry!

Everything I learned I want to keep! Joey taught "The Waiting Game"; Rachael taught "Feel Good" by Shane McKeever; Neville and Julie taught "Linger", "Girls Like", "Desperado", "Wearing Your Jeans" and the bonus teach "Shouldn't Be That Hard" (which I didn't take - but it shouldn't be too hard - hahahahaha!).

I have all these new dances which are competing in my head for which one do I work on to teach first!  Ultimately, I think I'll end up teaching most of them - just need to figure out when!

Sunday, April 10

First time on a dance floor since the social a week ago Saturday. Been down with bronchitis/early pnuemonia - couldn't do a thing.

With the Xperience Orlando coming up next weekend, need to spend some time this week building up my stamina for the weekend. Lost some valuable practice time - guess I'll know what I know and have to sit out the rest.

After the 2-hour practice this morning, I need a nap! Boy! My muscles certainly knew they hadn't really moved for a week! Yikes!
