My Blue Heaven

Got the dancing bug

Went to my jazz/funk and UK Street Funk dance classes again at lunchtime today. It was great fun and a really great workout (esp with that humidity.. lots of sweating.. great for dancing!) Though both had exactly the same routine as last week, it was still good because it allowed me to concentrate on improving my technique, perfecting each move, putting in more strength and energy, and actually dancing each step.. rather than being caught up just trying to remember the next step.

Yeh.. I’ve really been getting back into dancing these days (have you noticed? :P) I love it!!! Wish I could actually perform or get a gig or just do something with my dancing some day. Maybe an opportunity will come up at the International Dancers Workshop? Maybe I’ll make some contacts? Who knows.

Ooh, so I met someone today who was also going to the workshop this weekend, this girl in my Street Funk class. She works as a promoter for Soul Train at the Hunter Hotel. And I scored myself a whole stack of free VIP passes to Soul Train (Fri nights), as well as to the official afterparty for the Int Dancers Workshop, which will be at Soul Train this Sun night. Hmm.. anyone wanna join me.. for free? Got lotsa passes!

Can’t believe the workshop is in 3 days time!!! Eeek! I’ve been very good preparing myself physically for it. I can really feel the difference in my fitness, strength and endurance. Feels goooood! I did those 2 classes today back to back, and felt fine the whole time! I even had enough energy to run back to work. 🙂

Happy Birthdee Terri!!

Last night I went to Terri’s 26th birthday drinks/dinner. We went to Cube for drinks (the old Alexanders.. can hardly believe it used to be that dingy, seedy old place!). I actually had a cocktail – a “Chocolate Cube” (Frangelico, Bailey’s and Kahlua blended with chocolate cream and honey topped with almonds. Yummo!) – and I went a little red afterwards. Shame on me. :\ Then to Superbowl for dinner (heheh.. that was a kinda funny transition… from classy to seedy.. :P).

Anyways, it was really good to see Terri again, as well as many old friends from “The Crew” (back in our uni days) – lets see, who was there.. Vic, Dan (and their respective partners), Esmond, Sharon.. Sam & Pauline, Steve & Nam and Faith + hubby dropped in for a short while. Plus a few others. I really haven’t kept in touch with them these past few years, which is a shame. But I guess now that many are engaged and getting married soon (so scary!), we’ll get a few more chances to catch up at weddings and what-nots. 🙂
