Virtual Square Dancing
This week Rob and I had a first go at virtual square dancing via the Zoom meeting app. This one was hosted by Swan Valley Squares in Western Australia. They are running these events on Friday nights at 7:30 pm WA time (GMT +8) but this means the time here is 9:30 pm QLD time (GMT +10) The 9:30 pm start here is a bit late for some of us Queenslanders but we will be back to try more. Most of the participants were from WA but there were some joining from the USA and Sweden. The callers featured Greg Fawell, Bruce Gillett and Jim Buckingham. For the session on the 15th, we mostly joined just to see how it is done but tried a bit of the dancing. We had the laptop hooked to the TV for easier viewing but this is not necessary. It is tricky dancing with 6 or 7 phantoms but it gets you moving and makes you think. Nice to know I have not forgotten everything. With everyone having their camera and mic on you can see and chat with everyone all at the same time. The person currentl
