How are your practices going?

Back to practicing after Thanksgiving....started slow and am now back in almost full tilt.

Have a bunch of new goals for the new year and am fleshing out the game plan to meet them; goals this next year are a bit more nebulous and on the soft side, will have to take some time to figure out how to work them.

In the meanwhile, still have many technique based things to work on...things that didn't make it in to the last comp and need to be continued to be worked, and new things from the comp....

it never ends....
 
first practice since osb...finally have an ounce of energy and motivation...felt good...rumba technique issues and VW...still have waltz to go then probably will take a look at a few other things as well...going to dh's lesson so that should be a hoot...hoping that will not be over doing it on my firt day of feeling 70%...taught two classes this morning so I am a bit paranoid about crashing
 
it wasn't terribly impressive but was good to get re-acquainted with an old friend so to speak...dance can never let you down...people can, but dance is always willing to be whatever you need
 
I've got to carve out more practice time. Got to! Silver FT technique is just not coming together as I had hoped. Plus I've forgotten parts of my last group class already. $#%^%#@!!!!
 
I always prefer practicing in front of a mirror, as I can judge myself and make out where I am lacking. Its only if I have to perform on stage.

Generally, if I am dancing in a party or just having fun with my friends, I don't care how I am dancing, who all are looking at me, whose around me. I just involve completely in dance and enjoy myself, leaving aside the worries of the world. It makes me feel so light.

I can dance for hours, no matter how tired & busy I was before that.
 
My poor knees are killing me after cha cha cha practice. I wouldn't mind so much if it was for a good result, but it went something like march march shuffle shuffle shuffle. Someone please tell me there is hope ... it was truly baaaaaaaad.
 
Gaah! :headwall: I have to perform this routine preview at our studio's "grad ball" on Sunday, except that I learned the last 30 seconds of the choreography YESTERDAY so had a total of less than 45 minutes to work on it... Sure, nobody but me, teacher and another trainee teacher knows how it's supposed to look like so I could just ad-lib it if I flub my moves, but I hate to do that... Off to studio I go, to practice, perchance to master it enough to fake it on the dance floor within two days... Wish me luck, I'm going to need LOTS of that... :headwall:
 
so much for that routine... I mean, it's no Quickstep Disaster of '08, but the Tango Routine Disaster of '10 is worse for me since I always knew I was new to Quickstep whereas Tango's supposed to be my best dance. *sigh* I don't even want to go back for the dinner/dancing part of the event, and if I hadn't already paid for it... (maybe I should have posted this on the whining thread, but that one is full of much more serious whines these days so I didn't feel comfortable whining about dancing when people's parents are suffering from cancer. :( )
