When Cyrille called to see if I was headed to Club Salsa (around 10:30), I did not bother asking who else was coming. I thought it would be better to keep expectations down and it would be more fun to have some surprises. The group that showed up included Cyrille, Zern, Euvian, Mimi and a few friends of Euvian and Zern including a French girl whom I apparently met before.
It was an okay night aside from seemingly running short of options quite early in the evening. One Cha Cha was danced with the girl Johnny is training - it took about half minute to switch her to On2 but there was no problem staying On2 once it was established. Overall control of lead, etc seemed to be in fairly good shape for me. I was using a very stiff frame when dancing with beginner/improvers - I think it might be a decent approach at least some of the time. No On2 dance with Mimi tonight - only about 2 2/3 (incl. Un Verano En Nueva York, which she claimed she disliked) with her in fact while Cyrille might have tripled that number.
Music was not bad. Good aspects included relative freshness of song selections and occasional and welcome slow or relaxed songs. Although Cyrille occasionally said he didn't like this or that song, he also indicated that he enjoyed the Friday atmosphere more lately especially compared to last year - more people there for dancing rather than heavy drinking, etc - generally a younger crowd too.
