Note to self.
Make up a set dance. Stop stalling and pretending you can't because you haven't danced in ages - just make one up. You might end up scrapping it when you get better at choreography but for now, just make one up. Make it hard for yourself by choosing a hornpipe set, but make it easy by choosing a shortie. The White Blankets, there you go. Do that one. By Saturday class, you will have a hornpipe set that you have actually danced rather than just thought through. You might even be brave enough to show your teacher! Do it. Stop looking at hornpipes on YouTube and stop blogging about it and just do it.
Hey just FYI The White Blanket is a traditional set. I'm not sure if you can do other steps to it. So maybe ask your teacher. The WB is actually a pretty easy set once you get it, OH has it on a video.
ReplyDeleteYou can dance any of the trad set tunes as an open set if you want to, not at trad set speeds though!
