Swing, baby!

-I focused and worked on some important basics, including pulse and connecting with my lead's hand on my back

-I had my first blues dance, which was more of a fake-it-til-ya-make-it kind of thing than anythings else, but I successfully followed most of the moves and had fun shaking my pelvis around, and my partner said I did really good!

-I learned and successfully implemented a new move, not once but several times :-)

-I implemented swivels... successfully? I don't know how good they looked, but they didn't trip up my footwork and other people were definitely able to recognize what they were so I'm going to call that a success.

-consistency of pulse

-feeling and understanding the difference between being led into a triple step or a step-step/rock step

-wrist frame/keeping shoulders squared to wrists
