Dance Class

So, today I had dance class... I was rightfully very excited, as one could imagine... im taking CLAQUETTES 2 which is pretty much TAP DANCING TWO... it was lots of fun and i really enjoyed it. No, it wasnt pats, and probably nothing will live up to the expectations that i have because of pats but, it really was enjoyable and i will definately be continuing it! there are about 12 people in the class and its pretty average stuff... like draw backs and stuff! we learned a little dance, similar to those that you learn at those classes after the competitions... it was strange that some of the class was adults and some was teenagers... there was an adult guy beside me and he couldnt flap and it was making his life quite difficult... oh yes, and the class was incredibly difficult and painful because i dont have my own tap shoes... theyre coming in the mail! but anyways, they went to look for some, and most the girls have mary jane type shoes but i have very small feet and they ended up giving me a pair of beginners, some of the class also had them, but you know the shiney ones with the button things instead of laces, yeah thats what they were, and let me tell you, steps are quite difficult in those little shoes... i have a couple of blisters on my middle toes, but they lived, and my missing toe nail from the applebees incident big toe wasnt really "feeling" those shoes either! but anyways, despite the shoes, i had a great time, and even though the classes arent at my level, they are good practice just keeping me in a pair of tap shoes (preferably my own) but i didnt let it stop me i loved it loved it loved it... but the teacher has a different style than us at pats, shes more flowy and lyrically like, so im trying to adjust to that methode... she kept reminding me that i needed to relax and bend my knees.!... oh yeah and the french version of SUZIE Q is way different... i dont even know what that was... but i picked up pretty fast on itit was all switched and stuff but same concept lol! oh yes and we danced to that TRY TO MAKE ME GO TO REHAB I SAY NO NO NO song... it was pretty interesting, and im not sure if the teacher was wearing pants under her shirt or just tights, it was slightly disturbing, and mysterioius whether she was or not lol! but anyways, oh yes, also my host sister from my next family, LAURIE is also in the class, and shes really nice, she graduated high school last year so, i know i will be able to continue with her family so im really really pretty much excited to have this class at least until April... i didnt know how much i missed my tap shoes until today! so, ill be looking forward to all my wednesdays! ok... and yes, i havent heard from a lot of you dance people, and i want to, so hopefully this will spark some interest! gros bisous!!
