Dance potatoboy, dance!

[spudtater]

Went along to the New Scotland Country Dance Society's beginners lesson last night. I was a little nervous at turning up to a dance lesson alone, but I think a lot of people were in the same boat.

As far as actual dancing was concerned, it was a bit disastrous! Most people had at least a general idea of how to dance, unlike the usual society ceilidhs. So I felt a bit bisinistrapedary (i.e. two left feet.)

However, the social side turned out to be a very good idea. I'm so used to being in social groups where the men outnumber the women, the idea of hanging around women who aren't being chatted up by at least one man at any given time is somewhat new! In fact, when the dance leaders called for couples, I could just cast my eyes around and take my pick from a selection of unaccompanied women. Some of them even asked me for a dance!

*Mind boggles at concept*

So, am looking forward to turning up at that every week!   8^)

In other societies news, tried to go to karate today. However, I could not find the bloody place! Where the hell is "St. Leonard's" if not on St. Leonard's Street?   8^S

It's down Pleasance Road, past the usual sport's union, down the hill and around the first corner to your right. Cross one road, and there'll be a big glass and primary coloured building on your right, that's it. See you on sunday:)
