Packed like sardines

August 7, 2006

Intermediate with Tiz – first hour

1,2,3,5,6,7 open hold, Copa over and under – end with L-R behind follower’s L waist
1,2,3,5,6,7 CBL with 1 1/2 traveling clockwise turn for follower with leader turning clockwise to face away from follower for drop catch end with R-R
1,2,3,5,6,7 open break and bring follower forward with R-R going over and connecting with L-L ending with 1 1/2 traveling clockwise turn for follower with L-L hat for leader keeping connection
1,2,3,5,6,7 normal CBL (keeping L-L connection) ending with 1 1/4 counterclockwise turn for leader to get into semi-open position
1,2,3,5,6,7 L-L Copa start – keep L-L low for wrap (follower does only 1 1/4 counterclockwise turn here)
1,2,3,5,6,7 lead follower to left and backwards as leader steps in front of follower on 1,2,3 and leader turns 1/2 clockwise with some flourish to get back to open or closed position

Intermediate with Tiz – second hour

1,2,3,5,6,7 open hold, stationary double turn for follower to end with hammerlock (R-L behind follower’s R waist)
1,2,3,5,6,7 let go L-R and Copa start (keeping R-L straight) and lead follower into Copa turn with R-L high with leader turning at the end clockwise to face away from follower with R-L above leader’s R shoulder
1,2,3,5,6,7 tricky bit here – keep R-L above leader’s shoulder – open break and bring follower forward as leader turns away (1/4 counterclockwise) from follower’s line – lead follower into 1 1/2 traveling clockwise turn over and under to bring R-L behind follower’s L waist
1,2,3,5,6,7 Copa start (keeping R-L straight again) ... I think we ended with simple exchange of place (I'm feeling a bit disinterested - I don't think it was anything special)

It was fascinating to see how quickly the place emptied after classes ended. Where do all these one-time visitors come from?

Many of the core group was back. Hooray.

Otherwise it was a perfectly dull and uninspiring day. Hopefully this loss of enthusiasm is temporary.

Quote of the day - "I knew you were going to start complaining."
