sequence and sequence

As well as the  sequences of number and colour that lead to patterns like this

I am also very interested in sequence dancing (like Ballroom and Latin but in any given dance couples dance the same standardised 16 bar sequence, which is then repeated numerous times). It is perhaps the repeating but never really repeating that I enjoy, even though there is more repetition in my pattern paintings than there is in most sequence dances.

Anyway, my wife and I are preparing for a sequence dance competition this weekend …

…our first ‘open’ competition. Way out of our depth! We will be dancing Saunter Shiraz, Tango Serida and Waverley Two Step.

  2. I like the sound of the Saunter Shiraz. go well you two! There is something very heady about dancing. Perhaps its the concentration, the music and the teetering on the brink of losing it all!

  3. Thanks both for your comments and well wishes. We did OK. We knew we were out of our depth and the standard was high. We made the semi final, and learned much about what we need to do for next time!
