helwenDancing at The Magic Portal* last night was definitely fun! And I learned that once I'm warmed up enough, I can wear high heels without it causing a lot of problems. Started out dancing in flats for the lesson part of the evening, then switched to the heels.
And yes, I did find a dress to wear, altho' once again, I'm very happy I have a dress mannequin now, as it made it possible for me to re-do the strap attachments in back so that the dress lay properly -- otherwise I would've had to wear a jacket to cover that bit up and it was quite warm last night!
Legs are doing pretty well, neck and back are pretty stiff though. Salsa is quite the work out. Despite that, managed to plant the peony and some daffodils this morning.
*The Magic Portal is a Thursday evening gathering at Elmer's Store in town. Skilling/Re-skilling happens ~6:00 - 7:30 p.m., then entertainment of various sorts from ~8:00 - 10:00 p.m. Entertainment last night was a chance to dance after the lesson, but is sometimes jamming or open mike. New thing started by some folks in town this past winter. L and I have learned some things there and have also taught a couple of times (taught rounds (both), fingerloop braiding (me), useful knots (L)).
