My Blue Heaven

Ouchie

Man, my back is soo sore today. And I have a bruise on my shoulder and back. 🙁 Went to dance class last night (needed to use up the last prepaid ticket which expires next week). Ramon was back, as were many old faces from my starting days at the Sydney Dance Co (way back in 2000).

Anyway the main routine was so cool! It was to Michael Buble’s “Spiderman Theme” from Spiderman 2. So the style of the routine was very traditional jazz/theatre jazz – which is always heaps fun! However, Ramon being Ramon, decided to incorporate some killer backwards and forwards rolls. Hence today I’m left with incredibly sore muscles in my back, a lovely bruise on my right shoulder (a bit bigger than a 50 cent piece), and a lump in the middle of my back (next to the spine.. I’m guessing this is a bruising too). Nasty. :\ I’ve been hobbling around work the whole day like an elderly woman.

Here is a picture of the aforementioned backwards roll, in action!

I could do the backwards one relatively easily… it was the going straight back over into a forwards roll that got me. The tempo was fairly fast to be doing that kind of acrobatics. Not impossibly fast, but fast enough that you had to just throw yourself into it. And throw myself I did…. hence frequently landing on my back with a loud crunch. Not too graceful I know.. but hey, we were just learning it.

Anyways, I just took some photos of the bruises with my phone. Heh. (I even found another nice one on my elbow that I didn’t know was there before!) I was gonna upload them to my moblog but darn Vodafone MMS seems to be down or overloaded. Will upload em later. Gotta go now… gonna have a back massage now 😀 and then got my Jazz Performance Group (piano) class at the Con (resuming this week after a nice 2 week break).
