6-5 Pre-Festival Activities and Dance

 

Waco Convention Center

This year was the first time they had dancing during the day on Friday, Louis and Dorothy were in charge of signing people in, Larry and I helped them out. It was a little slow so Dorothy told Larry and me to go and dance. One room had mainstream tips by the callers from Heart of Texas and Austin and another room had Brad Caldwell calling tips for Advance and DBD (dance by definition). Larry and I danced one song of mainstream and the rest of the morning dancing DBD. After lunch we danced a couple of hours of plus. In the evening we danced mainstream and Hot Hash, which is dancing fast to mainstream moves and plus moves. Larry and I had fun dancing the two tips of Hot Hash. Mike Bramlett did the calling during the dance and he was outstanding. John Becker did the cuing for the rounds between square dancing tips. By the end of the day Larry and I had danced six hours and were exhausted but we are had a great time.
