More dancing fun

3:19 pm Thu, 1st April 2004

Went to dance class last night again…. for an amazing 2nd week in a row. Very rare for me to be able to do this, this year. It was awesome! I *really* love dancing… and only being able to do it about once a month has, I think, intensified my enjoyment of it. I guess you appreciate it more when you’re restricted.

Anyway the lyrical routine was basically the same as last week… to a different song though – Christina Aguilera’s “Voice Within”. T’was very nice. The main routine was to a song from Janet Jackson’s new album “Damita Jo” (which I’ve just gone out and bought :P). The song was track 10 “All Nite (Don’t Stop)”. The routine was really quick.. with alot of moves to remember (no breast popping though… in case you were wondering :P). Thankfully the first section (the chorus) was repeated, so we didn’t have to learn too many different steps. (We did up to 1:12 mins of the song). The dance was fairly raunchy too… with the Ramon’s typical crotch-grabbing, pelvis thrusting moves. 😉 Apparently a partnered section is to follow after what we learnt! Man, I wish I could go again next week… Ramon’s partnered routines are so cool!

On a side note.. interestingly, I find that I dance better when people are watching. I guess I like the performance thing. I mean, it can be a bit distracting sometimes (which can lead to stuff ups).. but it gives an extra thrill… And at the end of class, when Ramon opens the door and people from other classes gather outside the door to watch us dance – I get this electric thrill through my body as I dance, and I throw myself more into the moves, giving my best performance. I like it. 🙂

So anyway, I went out and bought the new Janet Jackson cd today – “Damita Jo”. I’m quite liking it so far! I think I’d describe it as warm… thats how the songs feel… warm. There are quite a few tracks to this album too… 22 in total! Though 6 of them are interludes. The tracks that jump out for me so far are:

• “My Baby” (track 5) – a very sweet song
• “Spending Time With You” (track 7) – relaxing.. like the warmth of a tropical island
• “All Nite (Don’t Stop)” (track 10) – the song we used in dance class
• “R&B Junkie” (track 11) – a very funky old school style!
• “I Want You” (track 12) – another sweet song.. the latest single
• “Thinkin Bout My Ex” (track 14) – a Babyface song… just really pretty
• “Slolove” (track 20) – a funky, upbeat number.. I liked it within the first few seconds of play!

Note however, that some of the tracks on the album are a bit… err.. risque… *cough* But then, what’s new eh?

Oh, and my back seems to be fine now. Thank goodness! It gave me no problems at all at dance class last night. However, my knee is hurting a little, as it always seems to after a workout. 🙁 And my ulcer is slowly healing itself.. I’m trying this new thing “L-Lysine Hydrochloride” tablets.. I’ve heard good things about it for killing off mouth ulcers? Here’s hoping…

Here’s a piccy I took of Coltrane the other night. Heehee.. he looks so grumpy! Prob coz I just forced him to endure a 17 photo photoshoot.. 😛
