I used to dance as a kid and even did recitals twice a year. Every Christmas I would do the Nutcracker and in the summer we would do a tap broadway show. While I was there we did Mary Poppins and Guys and Dolls. I was actually really good and was always up in the front. I stopped doing it once I was in junior high and now looking back I kind of wish I had kept it up.
Yesterday, my friend Julie talked me into taking a beginner hip hop dance class that she has been taking for the past few years. I have been wanting to join a dance class, but didn’t want to commit to anything, especially given my work situation. This class is drop in as wanted and very low pressure/stress. We started off the class doing crunches and push-ups, so it had me a little leery at first how the rest of the class was going to go. Once we got into the routine, it was a lot of fun. The instructor Micaya was great and made everyone feel at ease. Our group was more advanced that she had expected so she threw in some floor moves for us to try. It pretty much involved crouching to the floor, twisting to the other side, kicking a leg out and wrapping it around to the other foot to twist spin up. All very fast of course and we did this about 20 times. My thighs are killing me today, but it’s a good burn. I had a lot of fun and was dripping sweat from the workout. I have officially found my new hobby for the remaining time up here in Nor Cal. Word.
