This is what is important - it is why we go to dances.

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 dancers never quite got it — even though 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.

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,

Maia
