The Hip Hip Dance

Tonight at HipHop class I think I got the dance routine a bit more down. Still I looked like I was doing a full body heave rather than an actual dance, but I hid behind Chesney (dance coach) in the mirror so I couldn't see myself (seeing myself alone made me want to heave!). It also helped me with my moves, because I was watching her in the mirror facing me rather than trying to watch her from behind, thus the backwardness (is that a word?). Anyway...
It is a work in progress. It sure ain't pretty!! I asked Chesney to allow me to record the dance we are doing-with her doing what my body is supposed to do. (Again, ain't doing). I have decided that I appear to look more like a trucker trying to do ballet. I also look like a football player ready to receive a punt. Sad. Very sad. But without further ado, here is Chesney rocking it. (I wish I had recorded her closer but if I ask her to allow me to video tape her again I fear she will issue a stalker report...)

It is our second class. The first time there were 4, last night in the torrential downpour only tow. But the other 2 said tehy wouldn't be there due to other obligations. They will be back next week. We also have been trying to recruit others. We know that there definatley will be 3 or 4 more joining us. That will make 7 or 8 total.

Am I for AL or Au? I am for Alabama (my husband is a die, er, DYE hard AL fan) It is a mixed marriage (my whole family is split this!)

What a cool dance...can I say that you are amazingly cool to do this class. Do you have a dance background? How did you get into it? I haven't "essplored" your blog to see if this is addressed elsewhere...but man...I wish i could do that class, it looks like super fun.

Roaming-NO! I cannot dance. Full body heave I say! It's appauling, but I love the dance. It is nice to try something new and step outta ones relm. THey will kick me out before I leave! HAHA.
Ms Jules, you can just join "So ya think you can dance" if you live in Cali! My coach has trained with the choreographer from that show (the man).
