You were right, it went fabulously. There was a bobble by me, which nobody noticed. Instead of doing an underarm turn with a walk-thru to closed position, I reached for my partner's hand. For that split second we were both surprised (now why did THAT happen) but we just continued. Even I can hardly tell it on the video. I was much more relaxed than expected and was able to smile and enjoy myself; despite the hour leading up to it being filled with numerous, nagging issues and me becoming a basket-case.
The feedback I got was all very good, including from several people whose opinion I really respect. Even if the quality of technique wasn't tops, it was smooth and people enjoyed it. When they said I glowed and looked so relaxed, I told them the acting classes I've taken sure helped!
I was proud that I handled any glitches well. I know sometimes people freeze, forget their routine or frantically try and correct an error leaving their partner in the dust. I must have a very good instructor because I just relaxed and trusted him. Two weeks ago I was convinced I could never do this. That's when I reached out here and to others-it was all good after that. Now of course, I want to do it again!
Thanks again.
