I think my favourite part of the videos might be the complete and utter train wreck you can see in the background of two fat ladies where the other 8 of us were trying to dance it while using only silent gestures to call the steps.

Also I knew that i was stiff and in pain all day sunday (or really most of the weekend) , and it shows up really clearly in the videos, particularly where during the reverenzas i couldnt really bend properly.

Whereas I was pleased that I am now actually able to do the rises at the end of the reverenza and contenenza again.

I loved the Two Fat Ladies dance. I can just imagine the panic at the first couple of walkthroughs, and then the satisfaction when you all find the pattern and it starts to flow.

Congratulations on the weight loss too - that's quite an achievement.

Thanks! It's a really fun dance, but it is prone to crashing and burning if you have more than one or two people in the set who don't know it well.

BTW, it was choreographed by sionandreas and named both in honor of the 2 ladies from the cooking show and because "two fat ladies" is slang for a figure 8 (of which there are many in the dance).

Hee! Thank you for sharing!

I miss dancing with you all. :-)
