		<description><![CDATA[I took a [Richard Powers](http://dance.stanford.edu/faculty/rpowers.html) waltz workshop in Toronto a few months ago. I&#8217;m not very good at it and haven&#8217;t had enough chances to practice, but I *can* now hold down the basics of cross step and rotary.

Each time with its own music: unrelated songs but that I&#8217;d been listening to them at that time. That&#8217;s how I am with music&#8230; obsessive. A [...]]]></description>

The [Palais Royale](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_Royale) was a dance hall built in the early 20th century, once a major destination for Toronto dancers, but shuttered since the sixties. Well, it's been bought, renovated, and apparently the new owners are back to throwing public dances there. The first of these was last weekend.

First things first: The floor there is *spectacular*. Even if not truly sprung, it's extremely comfortable, and very, very smooth. Sooner or later I'll buy proper suede shoes, but even given my sub-par equipment, the Palais' balance between slip and grip is impeccable. I think I really cut loose on my Charleston for the first time; it's awesome to be able to really twist and shuffle the feet, yet still have enough traction to be confident you won't suddenly lose it and fall over.]]></description>
