Back dancing

 First post-Covid morris practice.  Been a year and a half since the last time we were together.

 

New hall, several of the team still avoiding meeting people indoors, so a lot different.

 

But we had a blast!

 

It's good to remember why I do morris - and here's the answer - Dancing makes you feel alive.  Playing music with other people makes you feel alive.

Dancing as a team to music played by your friends? Beyond price.

Charging down the hall with my friend Paul, both of us doing giant step hops - I felt myself again.

 

(Most of the team still have major fitness issues to recover from, but Paul and I were in pretty good shape)

 

This is the first time I've held out for a proper ten minute warm up - and it certainly paid off for me at least. And a proper cool-down.  No aches or pains today, and I was moving really freely yesterday in spite of a lingering problem with my Achilles tendon/calf muscle.

Great isn't it. In my case coming up to my second concert with the same orchestra. Concert venue is Ely Cathedral, which one might say is well ventilated! Rehearsals have been welll managed. Some other things starting up again soon, in slightly reduced format.
