Sunday afternoon's performance went well. (No-one fell off the stage, so I'm prepared to pronounce it a wild success.)

I was pleased with my costume(s). Largely home-made :-)

And pleased enough with my performance. Later, watching the video Mariquita took, I tend towards critique more than appreciation (of course I do - I'm planning to improve). But when I remind myself of context, I'm impressed! The groups I danced with have only been learning ATS for three to six months. And this is long way for me to have come in the six or seven years since I was only able to walk in shuffles and lurches and only felt safe walking when close enough to walls or furniture to have something to grab onto when I started to fall. (Sometimes it feels like I've been holding my breath forever, and now is the time to breathe again.)
