A Day of Dancing!

Our day started with a St. Patty's Day parade. The parade was five blocks long and there weren't that many spectators. The girls had a great time making up dance steps as they walked. Then on to the studio where our dance instruction was to give a dance workshop. We had about an hour until the workshop began, so we danced some and learned, or at least tried to learn, a new group dance. It wasn't new to anyone really except James and me. I can almost guarantee we won't remember that one! The workshop started with all of us dancing a reel on our level and then we began teaching the audience some steps. It was a lot of fun to help them learn these steps. There were all ages of people there to learn. After the workshop we had to eat a quick dinner before the concert. Everything was closed or would have taken too long for us. We decided to try a little restaurant across from the concert venue. They were closing in five minutes but offered to feed us. We ate and were off to the concert. It was Irish music and we were to dance to it. What a great experience! It is much different to dance to live music than to dance to a CD. Addy and Kaity made their way around the room dancing for each table. They were very cute. There was a bar there, at one point, James and I were brought back to see Addy dancing for the bar tenders. She explained, while I was typing, that she just wanted to show them how she could dance. I have a couple of favorite parts of the evening. The first was dancing the lead round and side step with my girls. The second was dancing our two hand that would be James and me. Third was watching the kids and some of the adults in the audience dance. The concert ended at ten and then there was the drive home.
