I learned a Paso tonight! Now, granted, admittedly, it was a simple phase four paso double, but it was still a paso all the same! I actually found it surprisingly easy to do, once I got the hang of it, though that might be in small part to having previous experience from a few years back doing Paso in competition exhibition to Eye of the Tiger. (And unlike the fighter guy on DWTS, we made that Paso look awesome. For the most part, anyway. We had a brilliant choreographer at the time, and she was able to get the sixteen or so couples to do it in synch. Sometime I might have to see if I can find that on youtube; we won that year for rather obvious reasons. But I digress.)
The night was a good night as far as round dancing goes. It's rather sad that we've been reduced to two couples attending on a consistent weekly basis (the people putting it on, and...well, us), but at the same time it opens up a lot of fun because they're some of the strongest phase six dancers around (the only reason that only a few people like us learn from them though is that they're primarily dancers, not teachers), and while we're sometimes at that level and sometimes not, we're generally fairly high.
So it was a good evening, though it had a bit of a snag in it. Rather, stag. Generally, I sleep on the way home (and the way there for that matter), to rest myself up as to better allow me to better focus once the drive has finished. But as we were nearing home, we nearly hit a dear. My sister asked me after that how I was doing. With only a second or two's hesitation, I had an immediate response for her:
"...Awake."
So there was that, but otherwise, good!
