Tonight was my first time competing in a west coast swing Jack and Jill. Holy balls were there a ton of amazing leads and follows competing.

I, of course, did not make it into the finals. Two of the three follows I danced with, however, did. That’s about as successful a performance as I could have hoped for, as the only reason I entered was because Delanie recruited me to even the number of leads and follows.

(Unrelated, or so I claim: my hand tremor drug–which some use off-label to help prevent stage fright–appears to have just worn off, and my hands are shaking about as bad as they ever have.)
