Sorry this post is coming a little late!!!  We haven’t had wifi for a couple days, but we are good now!!

Annecy…. First of all….. what a beautiful city!!!!  I can’t wait to go back and hopefully visit more!  It was another quick weekend for us, but really nice.  When we arrived on Saturday afternoon, we had a competition workshop for those who wanted to learn how to improve their JnJ dances.  It was a small group which made it easy to focus on each person individually.  After that class we had 3 more workshops with each of the levels: Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, and Advanced.  Annecy really has a great group of dancers, and we loved each of the workshops on both days!

The party on Saturday night was certainly something neither of us will ever forget!!  A lot of dancers from nearby cities came by to dance and we all had a great time.  We did a demo in the pro show, along with Olivier and Virginie Massart (& baby who is almost here!!)  But the best part of all was the fun Jack n Jill….. We had all been brainstorming all day to figure out what we could do with the JnJ to make it crazy and fun and bring a lot of laughter to the party…. Of course Maxime brought up the idea of blindfolding the followers…. But then we decided that wouldn’t be enough…. So another idea came up about playing “Musical Hats”….. So in the end, the leaders were blindfolded, the followers all had hats on…. and the goal was to pass the hat to the girl to their left and whoever didn’t have one at the end was out….. But everyone was being too nice!!  So we changed the rules from PASS the hate to STEAL the hat……. and man it got pretty ugly!!!!!  Those girls were pretty vicious at times to make sure they had a hat!!!!  Some girls even had 2 or 3 hats at a time!!  We were all laughing so hard during this whole fun contest.  Especially watching the leaders end up being dragged around by their follower because she needed a hat!  Hahahaha

Thank you Annecy for all the wonderful memories and great dances we shared!  We hope to be back soon!

As for now, I (Torri) am headed back to the U.S. for Boogie by the Bay, while Maxime heads off to Dusseldorf this weekend….

Thanks for reading and we will see you soon hopefully!
