Chassis maintenance

[cathrowan]

Multiple appointments this week for various kinds of body work:

Monday - blood draw for Vitamin D levels
Tuesday - pedicure
Wednesday (today) - physio for strained calf muscle
Thursday - deep tissue massage

Nothing (yet) for Friday

I want to be as physically prepared as I can be for two days of dancing at Borealis' Yule feast this weekend. There's a social dance on Saturday and an extended dance practice on Sunday. I'm looking forward to the event!

It's a good dance - it's important to follow the instructions to the letter. Arbeau constructed it very carefully. After a while dancing it, you realise that even the left/right kicks match in with things like the direction you're turning in.

I'd go back to Arbeau's text, as well as looking at videos, etc.

Oh indeed, I have a copy of Orchesography, and bunch of videos bookmarked. This is a "later" project as right now I am going down a rabbit hole learning about the three English measures in the newly authenticated ms. at Dulwich College.

ah, dance rabbit holes...

I have dived down so many of them in my time.

They're addictive!
