Narrative:
During landing; there were two bounces with mild side loading. The plane veered 20 degrees right and went off onto the dirt.we saw no damage to runway lights or the aircraft; which was designed for off airport flying. After carefully returning for another takeoff and a debrief; we continued without further difficulty.surrounding factors included modest experience in both of our roles; conventional landing gear; light crosswinds; a wide temp/dew point spread; and landing nearly into the sun.I saw this a mostly fortune outcome. A severe swerve or brake application to stay on the pavement would have easily caused a ground loop. Instead; we only went a short ways off the runway; slowly; under control; going straight; and causing no damage. We both learned a lot too.more discipline about straightness; drift; premature main gear touchdown; keeping the stick fully aft; rapid rudder use; and going around were the corrective highlights.
