Had a really fantastic practice with my alumni folk dance troupe last Friday night. All the ladies, even especially the ones who were having the most difficult time, displayed such wonderful determination and willingness to work at it. Am so proud of all of them.
Contrast this practice with the one two Fridays ago. Different set of dancers there. Half of them didn’t show up, half were an hour late, and when practice did commence I could tell that two of them very clearly did not want to be there.
I had a short talk with the offenders during break. I swear, if I get this attitude one more time I’m kicking them out of the dance. We’re all volunteers here. If you don’t want to dance, then don’t. No one is twisting your arm to be here.
Next practice on Friday is with the offenders yet again. We’ll see how it goes.
