I made some stickers. Send with etsy orders or do people want to buy them individually? I don't like the idea of sending a single sticker 😅

Everybody leads everybody follows! Spotlights begin at 3:00.

This is great for a lot of reasons, but I love 1:55 on for reasons.

This is so much fun: Open Role class advertisement for classes in Vienna.

Upcoming Role Switch Competitions

A note from a reader that Blues in the Hudd in England will have a Switch N Match competition. And coming up in just a few weeks in Richmond, Virginia, Jammin’ on the James will host the Jick and Jall competition! If you’re anywhere near the two, you should try to make it out!

So, yesterday at dance class I was dancing waltz with my teacher and she was busy explaining it and watching the others waltzing, so she wasn’t really paying attention at our dance... Here, I realized how light she is while dancing (the thing is that when she’s in lead she’s very strong and secure), it made me think that she was thinking about the class so much that she totally trusted me for that dance to lead her, she totally followed me and for one moment I was terrified of letting her down..

I just came back from the first far away class of the year and I’m so happy about it!

First of all, I entered the dressing room.. and I hear a very familiar voices, I was seriously surprised, she decided to come back early! Instantly that was the best night ever! (let’s move on about the real reason she came home this week)

We stayed together a lot, the three of us, she hugged me when I arrived and she required an hug when we were leaving, we laughed maybe too much and the teachers just probably want to kick us out, ops... (we seriously have to stop it)

Anyway, we danced together even if we were not in couple and she was happy when we had to hold hand or turn right together in the dances!

She agreed to be my lady for the quadrille, and I was so honoured to be her man, then she let me dance with her the last stratshpey <3

(She suggest we do a series of meme about dancing.. The first one is: “you know when you would volunteer to dance as a man, but you’re already a man”)

Sad thing: she won’t be at the grand bal masquè, because she will attend a cooler one (and I’m quite obligated to attend it because of teacher relationship, and I can’t attend the other one because I’m busy, that means that I’ll go to a ball without her, I don’t even know if I remember the feeling, and I have to wait three months to have a photo with her in our xix century dress ç_ç)

Ambidancetrous Etiquette

As more people become ambidancetrous, we all have a little to learn about the etiquette required to respect them as dancers in both their primary and non-primary roles.

Excellent read on ambidancetrous etiquette!

This is a wonderful read, and as someone who is slowly trying to incorporate more leading into my regular dancing, is something the dance community should definitely be talking about and be informed about! :)
