It was really nice to go for Swing again. It feels like it has been ages. I can’t believe it’s only Tuesday. It feels like a lot more than two days have passed since the start of the week!

I really needed it, some good old fashioned escapism, and to decompress, from an already slightly shitty and stressful start to my week back at work.

I didn’t even really mind the two leads I can’t stand, and only just started feeling like punching their faces towards the end of the second class. I didn’t get too irritated at the random girl who kept careening wildly, bumping into me, and taking too long to switch partners. I didn’t mind too much the few relative newbie leads who were really sub optimal in so many ways. Just having a few halfway decent leads who I recognise, am comfortable, and dance reasonably well with was enough to make the night. The first class was a really busy too, which meant that I had to dance with quite a few randoms. My performance ball partner also turned up – albeit only for the second class – and I like dancing with him, so that was good.

Apparently there aren’t going to be many classes left before the it breaks for the Christmas party season. Bummer. I have to dance while I can I guess.
