My Blue Heaven

Pink and feelin good :)

Feeling much better today, due to a fantastic dance class last night (as always), and a rather sweet obliging visit from a certain somebawdy at 11:30pm last night. It was very much appreciated. I *heart* you. 😀

Dance class in review

Dance class… ahh how I’ve missed it. Once again I was suprised to discover I hadn’t lost it. I was still able to complete the warm up section (without dying), still able to do the lyrical and main routines. My technical skills were a bit rusty, but that was to be expected – they were never up to scratch anyway. (Having not had a background in ballet, I never really learnt these skills properly.)

The lyrical routine had lots of floor work, which I always enjoy. But it was kinda bad timing this time, coz I injured my left hamstring a few months ago (man it takes aaaages to heal… still not getting any better.. might see somebody about it), and lots of the moves involved doing majorly flexible things with the left leg did not help. :\

The main routine was fun! To Janet Jackon’s “Slolove” (off the new album “Damita Jo”). T’was a very fast routine, but we managed to get it in the end, esp after cutting a double turn down to a single. So anyways, I’m a little sore today, but not that much.

More jazzy fun

And to add to my current high, tonight I’m starting a new term at the Conservatorium, with another stint at the jazz impro classes. This time I’m doing a Jazz Performance Group class instead of Nick’s Jazz Fusion class. I figured I need a bit of a change from fusion, and personally I enjoy listening to traditional jazz swing more than jazz fusion. It’s also a little easier to play. I’ll miss the intensity and challenge of Nick’s class – coz it was really good for my playing and improving my technical skills. But, this class should still be good – I’ve had Alan Webb before – he’s an awesome teacher and musician. And a christian too! 🙂 Will report on this class more as the term progresses!

In other news. A girl in the business depts that I’ve been doing a lot of work for recently has the last name “Hoare”. Yep, thats pronounced whore. What an unfortunate name. I wonder if she got teased in school.

Current listening :: “Slolove” – Janet Jackson
