Yep - they are jumping out of their skin. We are still sewing and making furiously. Phew, that is another side of being "the teacher" that I find frustrating. Keeping the look cohesive as a troupe, and allowing self expression. But I think we have done well. Yesterday we were making the most fantastic pantaloons, so hugh in fact, that we had to make pleats in the side (which was what I intended) - and they have big cuffs.

Some of them are in a steep learning curve. The student troupe has only just come together, so we are choroeographing a dance, and keeping it simple. but still looking strong. I sound like a proud mother!

Good luck with Mel's workshop.

Cheers, Susan

Dare I say we might bump into each other at the Trance and Tribal festival in September?

Like you, I am more interested in technique based workshops, I love drilling because my memory isn't particularly sharp, so while choroeo's are, well um ok, I love new steps and refining old ones.

What is with it with the choroeo based workshops anyway? One teacher I know, who is not a tribal teacher, presented the choroeo in two workshops of hers, which I attended one year apart! I think she was just working out a difficult choroeo as she went along, which lost me and a lot of other workshop participants.

Cheers, Susan
