Dancing in Weymouth

Anonymous Morris had their first public performance today at 'Dinosaurs Not Allowed', a showcase event for young people's morris in Weymouth.  (the event had had a couple of sides cancel, so they were delighted to have us as a new side)

Our repertoire of three dances (one only learned the day before yesterday) was put to heavy use in  a number of dance slots throughout the day.

Our dancing actually improved throughout the day  - when you've had a total of six hours practice, you're pretty well bound to improve with another two hours of dancing.

We haven't got our full kit yet, but we all managed to find a red top and black skirt/trousers and looked definitely like a team.

The sun shone, the company was good, and we all enjoyed ourselves.

We've also, slightly to our surprise been invited to another three events...

We should have some in a few days.

Definitely a very very important success! I hope your confidence is rising adequately and the joy from performing will overweight the nervousness.
Congratulations to you and your great team!

'overweigh' not 'overweight'. Actually, 'outweigh' is probably best.

We're all smiling, though I suspect the dancers are still knackered.

*Hugs*
Well, I am slightly overweigh now but the good outweighs the bad (I believe), right?

You're slightly 'overweighT' (adjective, not verb), but the good does indeed outweigh the bad.

BTW, your English has improved a lot since you came onto Livejournal. It's a lot more relaxed and colloquial. Well done!

Thank you! I will do my best not to make too many mistakes. Also I have the best teacher here :-)

Um...can you give your dancers my sincere greetings?

Of course!
