Another hidden reason is that I was really nervous performing in front of everyone, so I didn't do quite as well as I would have liked. But Griffin, bless his heart, made up for it. It was lots of fun. There wasn't a lot of room to dance, so we didn't really do any ballrooming blues. But Griffin's got style.
Anyone who dances blues can probably see the struggle for proper connection for the first little bit. My faltering footwork especially shows that. However, as we got going, I loosened up a bit.
Also, Griffin and I both talk with our hands.
I wish I didn't trace my hair so much when I dance.
Best part of the night: Griffin's hat movement and my 'hide half my face with my hand' maneuver.
Overall, a great night to introduce the blues to a whole bunch of people who had never seen it before.
