Went to my New Vogue class at Tempo Dance Studios. We started off with a few rounds of Gypsy Tap. I think I’m getting worse!
We then moved on to reviewing the Merrilyn steps from last time. I got told off for not staying behind my partner, heh.
The next few steps weren’t too complicated for the gentlemen, but I think the women have to do a bit of a spin on one step. The Rotary Chassés end differently in this dance because we have to end up back in the Semi-shadow Hold.
My Rotary Chassés need practising, but there’s little point I feel in practising them without a partner.
In these classes we don’t learn anything about arm styling. Arm styling is important – it makes the dance. It’s also something I find difficulty with due to my rather reserved personality. I should watch youtube videos and try to learn some of the arm stylings.
