Hip Hop Dance Class

During the month of June, my friend & coworker, Laura, and I took a hip hop dance class at a local high school dance studio. Laura mentioned to me that the instructor was a teacher at her gym and that they were offering the 4 week class through the Community Adult Continuing Education curriculum. I was so excited because I have been wanting to do this for a long time. Every Thursday night for an hour and a half I busted a move! The instructor was a 20 something young girl named Wendy, and she was around 4 months pregnant! But, let me tell you, it was quite a workout and I was sweating at the end of each session. Each week we learned more steps to a dance to the song "Gimme More" by Britney Spears. There was about 25 people in the class with a wide age range ( I was among the older "students"! Yikes!) Anywho, we had a blast and it was a great time for Laura and I to spend together as friends and to also relieve stress and do something that I truly love! My pipe dream one day was to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, and this class really made me feel like I was accomplishing a little piece of my dream! :o) I was really sad when it ended the first week of July. And even now over a month later, when Thursday rolls around, I still think about going to class.
