Ice Dance Class

I dropped-in to the ice dance class at Ice Den.  Since I am going to be traveling a lot during the next session I decided it would be better to drop-in ($20) to the ones I can attend rather than pay for the whole session and have to try to get some kind of credit for the ones I can't.

3 (!) adults and 3 kids today -- another adult man showed up.  He looked vaguely familiar, but I didn't catch his name, so I assume I've seen him skate here in the area before.  Of course he's much better than me.

We worked on the pre-bronze dances (Fiesta Tango, Cha Cha, and Swing Dance) including some time on the waltz hold for the SD.  Since these dances now have mohawks and backward skating in them, they are a lot more challenging.  We went through them at what seemed to me like warp speed :-( and I was quite confused.

For the last 15 minutes we did a quick review of the Dutch Waltz, Canasta Tango and Rhythm Blues.  Eeep.
