The Details:
It got down to 51 overnight. Sunrise was at 5:12
The Practice:

I started off with Single Hand Push-Hands, focused on the horizontal hand turning up as you shift back.
Next we broke off into pairs to review The Two Person Taiji Dance. (San Shou)
Next I did a round of The 10 + with some explanation here and there. A brief demonstration and explanation of the 3rd Swing.

Next I did a round of The 21 (Taiji Qigong) tuned into the breathing and opening the body.
Next we did a group Round of Taiji tuned into the principles.
