A Brief Break in England for Strawberries and Cream

A trip to scout for a study abroad history of statistics course provided a bit of a break from dancing.  My new dance partner, "Bayes"lor Bear?

Clearly, punting in Cambridge is important dance preparation.




The ballroom of the manor house at Bletchley Park an ideal spot for a quick practice.  In world war two, this room was crowded with the headquarters of the famous code breaking unit.




You may recall the movie "The Imitation Game"; I do hope to eventually imitate a dancer (somewhat).

Or how about dancing with Big Ben as the backdrop?  







You may wonder why I didn't put a hat out...

The performance at Chelsea Football Club famous Stamford Bridge stadium was somewhat underwhelming...I was too busy enjoying the visit!



But still ends with a flourish:


Unfortunately, Christian Pulisic was only days away from no longer playing for the Blues...pretty sure not my fault.😞

AT LAST, the Tate Museum (national art museum that I don't believe is named after Stephanie) provides inspiration.  



Who knew that our props were in place for practice...and considered art!!!  I take advantage for some quick practice.

And, yes, eventually strawberries and cream at Wimbledon!

Final Week Notes

Dancing with the Waco Stars is over...and Stephanie and I were extremely pleased with our performance.  We cannot thank those who supported us and the Family Abuse Center enough!  I hope to provide some more details but as of the Monday before the show we had over $11,000 in votes and ticket sales.  Not enough to win...but that just means FAC won all the more overall.  I think over $120,000 as of Monday totals. I also hope to have video to share of our dance.  Yes, I will share...the goal met:  I am not ashamed (far from it).  Stephanie is a miracle worker. In the meantime, a few final week photos and thoughts. DRESS REHEARSAL:  Sunday was dress rehearsal at the Waco Hippodrome.  We had one run through of the routine.  It went well, but I slept very, very poorly that night running through every mistake in my mind.  Nerves suddenly as the event became very real!!! HAIR (no makeup!) and TIME TO DANCE Thursday we did a short rehearsal ...
