The Park, 10am Saturday-early afternoon

Jan 12, 2008 12:26

Yesterday's weather had worried Willow, but according to the weather report Saturday was warmer and so far snow-free.

Willow got to the Park early so she could set up. She cleared a space for dancing, set up music and some food that she'd brought along, then waited for others to show up.

Various forms of music that Willow felt sounded courtly-appropriate are playing. At some point Glitch will give a lesson in Ozian dances, but others are welcome to dance, teach, and enjoy!

There he was, waiting to instruct. There was also a small device that would play some music from the O.Z.

Willow was there, ready to be instructed.

Glitch clapped his hands and went to stand next to Willow. "Now, first you have to get the first basic steps." He began to demonstrate, starting with his right foot going back, to the side, together, forward, to the side, together. "This is the ladies part, which is exactly like the mens, only backwards." He smiled, then showed her again, counting off this time. Step, "One," to the side, "two," together, "three," back, "one," to the side, "two," together, "three."

Willow did her best to follow along as he demonstrated. "How come we don't say the guy's part is like the ladies' part, but backwards?"

His synapses fired off a little in all directions, trying to find an answer.

"Because I learned the mens' part first?" Glitch offered.

"Oh." Willow said. "Well, that's fair."

Glitch smiled, and then put his attention back towards the dancing. "Now, if you're ready, I can show you how to go forwards and backwards."

"Yes please!" Willow said.

Glitch demonstrated for her, using the same steps save for the fact that instead of going back to the starting point, they just kept moving forward. Then, after going a few feet, he used the same steps to go backward, counting off in three's the whole time. Once he got back to where Willow was, he stopped. "Now, I'll count while you try."

"Can I count too?" Willow asked. "Only sometimes that helps."

"Of course! However makes it easiest," Glitch said, and then started off the counting.

Willow counted along with him, trying to imitate the steps he'd taught.

"Very good. Now, try to move backwards. Don't look behind you, though. I'll warn you if you're about to run into anything." He scanned the ground and started counting again.

Well sure, now Willow really wanted to look behind her. But she tried not to and kept dancing.

"You're doing well," Glitch said as his synapses searched for the next step to be taught. In the meantime, more practice. "Would you like to try it again, going back and forth?"
