bailamos - we dance

tonight we(sam and I) took the jazz class at the commuity center and listen we were excited. and a little scared cuz it has been a while ya know. So we arived, first in the class and alone with the teacher, she looked like an old classy balerina. this made me a little more scared for about 3 more minutes. So then the rest of the class filed in,you could tell they all thought they were amazing which is fine i think i am amazing too( never as amazing as the oh so great shelly rowlan but with the commeners i feel much more confident) but they were kinda rude like oh you guys are starting late, we already learned a whole dance you will have to learn it all....but then we began.

I was really looking forward to an amazing choreographed stretch but no there was none of that just a few leg stretches on the wall. then we did some turns and kicks.... there was this girl in there with my same name(how convienant!) and when the teacher had us line up she was all "I always go first, i dont care i like to" oh boy she was no good it was kinda sad but whatever we even did chaseys across the floor 8 times....it is like the most basic thing...i mean she could have thrown in a chasey leap but no...no leapage tonight :(

so yea then we moved on to the dance(which they have been practicing for 6 weeks) so i was a little worried this is there dance next week is the las class and so it should be pretty much complete right....well we start and it was so BORING. it was like to this song that sounded like a battle song from star wars and all we did was kick kick pivit chasey 3 chaneys and then pose. then chasey fan kick chaney chaney pique pose clap then some weird gypsy thing that didnt match anything then an end group pose. sam and i learned the whole dance tonight and the teacher kept looking at us ithink she was like oh they can dance and maybe she got excited ran home and is making amazing dance things for us to do next week...we will see! The other girls i think came down from there pedistals as well asking us if we had danced before and they were all pretty nice...except the weird girl who shares my name! but yea the rest were chill so yea


In conclusion I gotta say the whole ordeal just left me disatisfied! it was like when you feel like you're going to sneeze and then you start working one out and then all of a sudden it disapears and you feel like ugh i just want to sneeze. thats how it felt but for me it was like ugh I JUST WANT TO DANCE! i mean it was fun jut to be doing SOMETHING but this was not the jazz dance i love and am used to. oh well i just think it was for super beginers. so i am still on the search for an amazing dance class....like Erin's at PVCC. next semester i think i will for sure be taking that one....but i will be student teaching UGH i dunno ......... i need to DANCE!

hahaha...i LOVE how you describe things...i laughed AGAIN reading it even though i just heard it a second ago! :) chases can NEVER be perfect you know, so one should practice them at LEAST 5 times across the floor in one class. :) haha

Even though I don't dance. I could still visualize this happening--in a volleyball practice kind of way--because that's all I have to relate it to. However, the frustration was evident and that's what good writing does--creates emotion, so I totally understand, even though I cannot explain.
