Album:2006:02-24 Tangoed Up In Blues

Mihai had another Tangoed Up In Blues event.

Just like Mihai's last event (Winter Blues), I managed to get myself a severe back injury on the first day (unrelated to dancing) and couldn't do the classes. I think Mihai's events are cursed. Or I am cursed. Or both.

It was fun anyways, and I had some great blues dancing and got to see some of my good people. Best of all, I instigated Mihai and we pioneered a Strictly Blues Contest that rocked because it was:

At a blues dancing event
Organized by blues dancers
Danced to blues music
Judged by blues dancers
Judged based on blues dancing!

And the contest was amazing. Haley and I made it to the finals.

Warmup song for the Blues Contest.
They told us it wasn't going to be judged, and then they played a song with a bit of a country twang. Hilarity ensued. [Video, 50M] ( comments)
