Hip Hop Tonight

Yes, Hip Hop.

Yes, tonight.

Yes, at the gym.

OMG! I haven't danced in ages and so I thought I'd pick up something I'm familiar with, like dancing, for example. I haven't exactly done pure Hip Hop before, but I didn't think that it'll be that hard, right?

WRONG!!!

Because I haven't danced (free-style like) in a while, I found that my body expressions were quite stiff at the class today. To the point that it looks awkward. (Never expected that to happen to me...not in this life, no.)

How can this bloody happen??!?!!

But at least I slowly got used to the movements towards the end of the class and slowly got into the moves.

It was only then I realized.

I could do it when I'm doing it alone.

Not when there're loads of people doing the same thing together.

Well, same thing...but not the same thing. When we were asked to go at our own pace, people literally went at THEIR own pace. Own beat, own style, own speed, own count, own moves, all at the same time. So how confusing will it get if you see that in the mirror?

Very.

I'm still stiff lar...and I'm still wondering how the hell that happened to me. (That is NOT, not not, NOT supposed to happen!)

Going for salsa dancing tomorrow...at least I'm better at that. Not as stiff. Still got the moves. HAHAHAHA!
(OMG, I sound like an auntie...)
