Hip Hop

If any of you have seen recent posts on my facebook you may know that I have started attending a dance class. It is Tuesday nights at 8pm in Johnson City and I go with two friends of mine that I used to work with. The girl that teaches it also works with them. It is a "social dance class"...aka, "I will help you not look like a complete idiot in the club". Well, since I don't frequent many clubs, I mainly go for the exercise and the girlie chatter, plus it is a good reason to have Panera once a week... no worries, it all equals out.

The first session was three weeks ago. We kind of learned some new things but it was more fun than work. Last week, she started teaching us a choreographed song. I did okay, not too sore, not too bad. Well, that was all well and good until this week. She added more stuff and the new moves are things my body was not meant to do. I may have the rhythm but I don't have the flexibility (nor the slenderness needed to attain such odd angles :)). Needless to say, after my extreme effort to contort my body like that, I am very sore today. I am going to practice what we learned tonight with Andrea. Let's hope that I will be able to manuever better and eventually learn to "flow" better. This popping stuff is not attractive.

If anyone is interested in "exercising" with me on Tuesdays, let me know. We are looking for more students. More students = more classes = more practice for the uncoordinated :)
