I would like to complain that it hurts to walk today!

That shows that you were working hard last night. Good stuff :)

Sorry, were you hoping for sympathy? ;)

I wasn't *expecting* it, anyway :)

The joys of the first strathspey of the year...

(Can I make this show my actual name this time...?)

A good introductory class, I appreciated you going easier on us than you possibly normally would and I'm glad I've done so much dancing in the last couple of weeks - it gave me sufficient of a run up to avoid sore legs today *hugs Jen* (though I don't know about tomorrow! :)

It also seems like it might be a very popular dem class, it's better than we've had in quite some time (even possibly your previous classes - though it might be the size of the room that gives that impression :)

I personally found the best aspect of the class was the very upbeat and jovial conducting of it (particularly given some of the misbehaviour - though I'd probably name myself before naming anyone else! This shouldn't be the case because I know what a problem it can be but you handled it light-heartedly and well.

Anyway thank you, I'm looking forward to your next class :)

Having thought about this a little more, I'm pretty certain actually that this is the best we've had in a long time... Possibly since Margo, maybe even Mark! (If it hadn't been for Mark I'd not still be dancing I think - he was an excellent teacher :)

I've just noticed that Firefox has abbreviated the title of this blog to "New Scotland Demons..."! :D
