Did I tell you all I’m taking an Advanced Latin Jazz class with Lady Glissade? It has got to be one of the funnest dance classes I’ve ever taken for two distinct reasons: it’s not as regimented as ballet and hip hop, yet I’m still learning skills.
What do I mean? I’ve never thought of myself as a stiff person but my teacher is having us do tons of melting and curling down. No straight backs like in ballet, no locking like in hip hop. And you know what? I’m having a bit of a hard time making my body flow the way my teacher wants me to. Even our pirouettes are a little on the wild side with arms flung high in the air. Weeee!
I shall get better, yes I shall. I hope. With lots of practices and more classes. Now if only I can drink a couple of shots of tequila before class. I bet I wouldn’t have any problems melting then. Heh.
