A week of dacning

what a week! I managed to dance 4 times in the past 5 days. Sunday was the third monthly ABC dance. It is maintaining it's initial level of participation, so I can only assume that people like it and can't wait until the next one! =)

Monday was hot jam. My friend Scott from Knoxville was in town this week, so I picked him up and we went to Hot Jam. I am not sure if there were more leads there this week than usual or if just I had a good night, but I danced nearly every song, and had a ton of fun dances in there! I like hot jam dances a lot in general, but this week was especially good.

Tuesday was the first of a series of classes I am teaching with Ben this month. The class wasn't too big, and I was unfortunately exhausted already, but still, it was good. Tuesday also was Melissa and Jamie's going away BBQ, and so I got to see them before they moved away. I even caught up with a few people I hadn't seen in a while there, so that was nice.

Wednesday there was no dancing. I went to trivia with the usual crowd plus scott from Knoxville and Nus. We managed to move from being around 15th place (technically tied for 8th, but lots of teams above us were tied too) all the way to winning the whooooolllleeee thing! we came out in 1st place!!! we actually tied for first and then won on a tiebreaker question. Not only that, but we won with best team name too. For those of you who have never been to team trivia, team names are always funny or jokes. Ours was "what do a smoothie and a home run record have in common? They both require juiced berries" Anyway, now we have $50 to spend there next time we go =)

Last night was my first class in a 6 week series of Argentine Tango. I saw a lot of it when I was in Argentina, and recently decided it might be fun to take a class. The first hour was basic basic stuff (all of which was new to me), but essentially, how to walk in Tango. Then they offer a second hour for free to practice and learn some variations on the first hour's class. So I stayed. It was cool, and I am looking forward to next week's class!
