Went to my class at Tempo Dance Studio in the North Shore. Started off with doing the Gypsy Tap from the previous two classes. I wasn’t too flash. My Rotary Chassés were a mess, although I think I just about got it right on the third attempt. I also have trouble with a curved Line-of-Dance on the walks in Promenade Position and Counter-Promenade Position and also when coming out of the turns (must remember to take smaller steps!).
So after about three rounds of that we got to learning the Merrilyn. It’s a slow Foxtrot dance. I think I was ok for my first time. Moving right I tended to kick my partner’s shoes.. perhaps I’m too far forward. Otherwise I was alright I think. We got as far as Bar 10 in a 16 bar sequence.
