dancin' like a foo

[jaina]

My intersession jazz class is over (sob!) and spring classes have begun. Ballet looks like it'll be pretty standard, except the usual teacher had a heart attack and so now a bald guy who also teaches my Saturday belly-dancing class is subbing while the regular teacher recovers. He seems pretty cool. (According to girls who have taken the class before, the regular teacher dislikes split-sole shoes because they make it "too easy." Um, yikes?) Black leotards, pink tights, hair in a bun, and they probably won't let me wear my dance skirt to camoflage my hips. Boo.

I am kind of freaked out about my hip-hop class. We have to wear sneakers and baggy clothes-- nothing remotely tight allowed. And the teacher uses words like "dope" and "sick" and "tight" non-ironically. Oh, and there are seriously like 60 people in this class. The teacher was like "yeah, it'll thin out after a couple of weeks." Hmmm. I'm contemplating switching over to the jazz class that's at the same time. (I miss my eleven-person intersession class!)

Uh....split-soles make it too easy? Well, flats in generally make it too easy, why doesn't he just make you wear pointe and be done with it? [note sarcasm]

I've done hip-hop. Admittedly, I took it from one of my friends in college, not a professional dance teacher, but still...I'd switch to jazz.

And you're taking bellydance? I'd so take bellydance if SuperShag offered it. Instead, Latin pole-dancing. This should be interesting.

ETA: Wrong icon. Shoot. I gotta label these better.
