NSDC, Wichita KS. Last class for the leadership course at 10:30 instead of 9:30 as on previous days so I slept in. Also had a workshop on cueing rounds at 3:30pm. Went to round dance teaches with Jan from 1 to 3:30. A single swing, waltz, quickstep, and the first part of a cha-cha before I had to leave. Only the quickstep went badly. Neither of us are proficient at it and their was not enough time for a proper teach. We stumbled through it and were glad when it was over. Back for normal rounds 8-10, then plus squares 10-11:30.

NSDC Wichita KS. Classes all morning, then a visit to the vendors and lunch, and another seminar. No dancing until the evening. 7-11:30. Last 3 hours with Jan from yesterday. Found out she does rounds so made plans to do some round dancing with her tomorrow.

National Square Dance Convention, Wichita KS: Main convention starts today. Since Bev is not here I signed up for a lot of the education seminars and workshops in the mornings instead of dancing or going to the Round dance teaches as I usually do. Will get a club leader certificate if I complete 5 required and 2 electives. Also went to a callers workshop. Danced in the afternoon in the Plus hall with a variety of singles before meeting someone who looks like a good partner for the rest of the week. Danced with her again in the evening.
Dancing 1-4, 8-11:30.

National Square Dance Convention 6/25-28 Witchita KS

Short run in the neighborhood near the Econolodge where we were staying. Very short because I needed a rest room almost as soon as I started.

Trail End Dance. Spent the first hour or so with Io in the youth hall then went to the Solo hall. Bev is not here so I will have to find dance partners among the solos.

Off to Wichita KS for Square Dance National Convention. Not taking the computer so likely there will be no updates until I return.

Trail thru dance in Wichita KS with Iolanthe. 7:30-10. My directions (a map from the dance web site) had the location off by a few blocks and on the wrong side of a major highway so we were late. Missed 15 minutes of the early rounds.

Walk with Io around the new neighborhood. Had planned to go longer but it started raining before we started so we waited until later after it was dark. Still looked like it might rain more as there was a lot or lightening and thunder off in the distance. Cut the loop short and got back just before it rained again.
