My Blue Heaven

The zone

“My soul is bare, my hips are moving at a rapid pace. Can you feel it burn, from the tip of my toes running through my veins.” Ahh.. good ol Britney. I wasn’t sure what to think of her new song “Me against the music”, but after going to dance class last night, I love it! Well, I probably love the dance itself more than the song, but hey, the song is good too. They go together. 🙂 He used the Rishi Rich remix version.. which I reckon is way better than the radio edit.

So, for the first time in over 2 months, I went to dance class. I can’t believe I hadn’t gone for so long! It was great… it felt sooo good to get back into dancing. Physically, I’m still good for it.. I guess my workouts at the gym help alot. I could manage the warm up and lyrical routines fairly well.. even across the floor was not too bad. My turns and chasses were a little on the rusty side though. I had to stick with single turns mostly.

My weakness was probably the main routine – to Britney’s “Me against the music”. Even at the end of class, I hadn’t quite gotten it.. I was still often following another person, scrambling to catch up because I’d forgotten the next step. It was hard to remember it all and keep up the speed, having not danced for ages. I guess this more modern jazz/funk style doesn’t come as naturally to me as traditional lyrical jazz/ballet. I wish I could dance better in jazz/funk/hiphop styles.

Still, the class had started on this routine the previous week, so I guess most of them had a headstart and were already familiar with it. He’s going to be doing even more next week but I can’t go coz of my jazz performance. Darn it!!! I really wanna learn the rest of the routine. I saw the whole thing before class, when a group of the more elite dancers in the class were rehearsing it for the end of year Christmas party performance. They looked soooo good.. damn me but dancing is sexy. I love the routines Ramon comes up with, and last nights’ was one of his better ones.

Oh, and yep, I’m most definitely sore today. That familiar all-over-the-body soreness which only comes from dance class. Coz not even the gym can make my muscles ache like this.
