Well, my friend Stefanja - who learnt her salsa in Madrid - thought her first visit to Risa (and first dancing for a year) was great. The night didn't start too brilliantly: for some reason I find it really hard to focus in the Thursday classes, so I gave up after the first half. But things definitely picked up later on: it was a lot livelier than it has been for a while, and I started getting my second wind around eleven. Some lovely dancers there, including one who hadn't been there for a while and one who's leaving us for three months to look after orang-utans (I hope they can dance).
I've not been feeling that I'm dancing very well lately – I'm missing the Sunday workshops and dancing with Patricia – so it was great that one dancer really liked Sombrero 88 (thanks Misael) and another told me I have a 'lovely lovely' lead : )
Best thing is that it looks as if Risa is on target to meet Andy and Stevie's ambitions for it: for the first time in a while it didn't fizzle out at midnight. There was a good contingent from Bristol there and a few strangers turned up late, so it was still going strong when we left at around quarter past twelve. Looking forward to some sleepless Thursday nights in the autumn.
