Martha Kelly - our caller this Sunday - is interested in getting together with local folks to have dinner and talk about caller stuff. She would be available around 4:00 Sunday. I am open to suggestions - but a good "St Louis" place is Blue Berry Hill.
It would be nice to have some kind of idea of the number of people - so email me - even if you can't come so I know how many people have read this and can try to find the others.

Boy, that was fun! Martha's a delight.
Apparently, we told her to pull out all the stops, and she certainly did! She called dances we rarely see outside of dance weekends, and we did them! There were patches in the lines that were a struggle, but there are always patches in the lines that are a struggle...
Her philosophy of challenging the dancers to remember the dances by not calling too many times through - in the case of the last dance, exactly zero times after the walkthrough and after having us repeat the calls back to her - is terrific, IMHO, because it does train us to pay attention. We were also dancing better to the musical phrase last night, and I'm not sure why. Was there something she was doing to cause that?
