| I had so much fun two years ago that I just
couldn't say no to going back for more. I spent less time taking pictures
this year than I did two years ago, but I did
use my camera's cheesy video function to try to help me remember the moves. |

Fort Worden has the most amazing view of the Puget Sound.

|
|
Mira Fisher and Jim Salminen get goofy
|
|

Sadly, still pictures can never quite capture the motion of dancers.
Shawn Hirshey has all kinds of crazy moves that I want to steal
from him. (And I'd love to see him dancing with his amazing sister,
Betina.)

Oh, and those dance videos. Here are assorted videos from the
advanced level, whatever that means. These (obviously)
don't look as good as the instructors, but they're better than
any notes I could have taken on paper. You probably need QuickTime
installed to view these. File sizes vary from 8 to 20MB, so don't
try this over a modem unless you're really patient.

|
Steven & Virginie's basic routine (with me screwing up the
slide at the end)
|
|
 |
|
Jason & Sylvia's opening routine
|
|
 |
|
Kevin & Carla's funky double-turn variations (plus me screwing
up the guy underarm turn)
|
|
 |
|
More insanity from Jason & Sylvia (in the audio, you can
hear everybody reminding us which moves come next)
|
|
 |
|
Jason & Sylvia's Advanced Balboa I
|
|
 |
|
Continuing insanity from Jason & Sylvia (note the confusion
at the end)
|
|
 |
|
Jason & Sylvia's Advanced Balboa II (with Solomon having
some trouble on the paddle turns)
|
|
 |
|
Eddie & Eva's deliberately stepped routine
|
|
 |
|
Rob & Dianne's routine with the hip popping
|
|
 |
|
Another take on Rob & Dianne's hip poping routine. Turn the
girl before the guy goes.
|
|
 |
|
Another Kevin & Carla routine with the weird Texas Tommy
variation.
|
|
|
And, finally, two attempts at Eddie & Eva's fast swingouts.
