Many people were taking pictures of us constantly, even when we weren’t doing anything. Kevin and I could be standing talking, or eating, or wiggling, or anything, and a few people would take our picture. I am so grateful I am not famous on a Hollywood level because I am sure it would suck having every move recorded by strangers. It’s weird feeling like any of the small things you do are worth documenting, but that’s exactly what was happening, all weekend long.
The room we stayed in was WAY nicer than the previous one. However, this means that we were royally shafted last year. We also had heat this year (yet we sacrificed our hot water….it’s luke warm at best).
People were sneaking into our classes all weekend long. Perhaps it was because we are foreigners, or hopefully it was because people couldn’t get enough of our material. We would like to assume it’s the latter, but we’ll accept “both” as an answer.
People were totally digging the technique, and we knew this because all the classes were focused the whole time on the material. It was awesome to see people improve so much by the end of a class. In some cases it was night and day. That feeling is what keeps me teaching; I love feeling helpful!
I learned the Slip Slop Shim Sham along with the students and was still able to teach it. And it was tough. I was challenged mentally and physically. I dig it.
We recognize a number of the campers from last year and more of them speak English. I certainly enjoy that because I feel that they have a chance to improve more as Lindy Hoppers because LH is primarily taught in English (I am sure someone could challenge this statement).
Breakfast on Day Three was awesome. Those biscuit/English muffin things rocked my world! I was in such a great mood that day.
Kevin and I got to work on our routine and did some working out. We are pleased that we made time for our routine and to work out this weekend (even though we are working many hours and are very tired).
