This is what is important - it is why we go to dances.
"the dancers adjusted and all had a good time, and I still had the hall’s trust and
goodwill at the end of the evening”
And I think it is fun as a dancer to occasionally have to cope with messed-up dancing due
to dancers, callers, or bands mistakes or miscues.

So after a gig, I find myself haunted by one or two missteps from an evening — the
rolling start that was a little muddy, the thing I didn’t teach clearly enough so the

I still had the hall’s trust and goodwill at the end of the evening.
Is this a familiar experience for anyone? Assuming you’ve already learned the lesson to
be learned there, how do you move past it and stop self-flagellating?Would love to hear
some people’s thoughts!
Cheers,
