Well, in swing dance, two people dance, and today's topic of the day is Swing Dance! It makes sense, right? I hope it does 'cause I really had no idea what kind of picture to post up.
So this semester I took Swing Dance at 830AM! Yikes! I don't recommend taking an 830 class unless you know you'll make it to class. When I first took the class, it was okay. I enjoyed it, but I just got so intimidated by my classmates. Everyone (and I mean everyone) seemed to know what they were doing, and I was just struggling to keep up with the class. I guess I found out that I enjoy dancing, but I'm not very good at it, and I'm a slow learner. It makes me sad because I really, really hate being bad at things.
Anyways, when because I wasn't really good, I ended up skipping class... a lot more than I should have. Here's a tip: if you're taking a dance class, don't skip two days in a row, seriously. It killed me. At one point I skipped over two weeks of class, and I missed basically all of the Lindy Hop (Which just so happened to be my favorite. Sad Jen.) Anyways, because I missed class so much and I really didn't like it very much, I didn't even have a partner for my midterm! Luckily, some guy was looking for a partner via email, so I emailed him and got a partner that way. & we both skipped class a lot, go figure.
When it came to the final, I ended up partnering with Taylor when I saw him at a dance lesson outside of class. We weren't too bad, if I do say so myself. Anyways, we did West Coast Swing, which is a really laid back dance. It's supposed to look really relaxed, and the dancers just kind of walk the steps. Bud told us to pretend we were the coolest people in the room. We danced to Lady Gaga's Paparazzi. Anyways, here's our dance final! We got 100% on it! Bud said he knew how much work we put into it.
That was pretty awesome Jen! But why do you look so sad (unless I can't see you smiling)? I spy those Target shoes I have :)
ReplyDeleteThis was so cute! Now I wish I had taken a dance class in college. Sad Grace. And at some point during the summer, I would like to learn how to put on make up as well. We should keep each other posted as to how that's going! :P
