torquillWell, I went, and I am not sorry I went. I got to dance with a few entertaining people and learned a new dance, along with gathering large numbers of compliments about my dress (which ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
our_meg made). She was amused, as her own dress -- to my mind far more impressive -- prompted only a couple of compliments. Ah, well...
So I have now been, and will definitely go again, when hopefully there will not be quite the skewed ratio there was tonight... I got to dance far less often than I would have liked, as men were scarce. That did result in the enjoyable event of a "bust-to-bust waltz" whenour_meg, faced with the realization that no one was going to ask either of us to the floor for the final waltz, led me out herself. One of the better dances I had tonight.
Not a bad evening... though I did so want to do the Congress of Vienna. My mood was not quite the same after failing to find a partner and having to watch from the sidelines instead; it would have been my first opportunity to dance it since being taught to waltz. I surprised myself a little by almost tearing up when I admitted toour_meg that I hadn't had the chance to find a partner... I guess I was looking forward to it more than I had realized.
