Hip hop dance class

Yaay. Went to hip hop dance class today.

Expected a room full of about 20 year-old, used-to-dancing girls and being almost the only guy.

And yes, I got that, yes.

What I did not get, tho, was a kind of slow intro to the hip hop dance thing. I expected things to go like "welcome to beginners' class! so, hip hop, huh, anyone danced before? in hip hop, we want to be heaaavy, yeah, bouuunce. okay, watch, this is called... a step. now, let's all practice taking a step 200000000 times, so we get all comfy with steps before next class."

Instead it went like: "Do this. And this. And this and this and this. Now drop and give me twenty! Okay, now let's do this and this and this. Look: Leg first, then body, then head. Okay now let's add this and this and this. And also this and this. From the top. Okay let's add some things... "

Ah well. In short: It was much more fast paced (in all sorts of ways) than I expected it to be. If this had been my first dance class ever, I would have been so lost. I think. Might be underestimating myself a tad here but probably not.

But oh yes, on the rare occasion that the beat and my movements were actually synchronized, it was quite easy to understand that this can get really fun, yay!
