Making a musical 21: Street dance begins!

I'm finally blogging on here again! It feels like AGES, although I'm pretty sure it's only been a couple of weeks (looks at calendar)... okay, maybe a few weeks then!

So, I finally started street dance. It began last night. And it was AWESOME!

Well, I mean, I couldn't move for beans, but I loved it.

I felt like a proper gansta "BRAP". hehe.

Seriously though, our instructor, Mr. Jack "Pointer" McKenzie, is actually pretty cool. He's like only 22/23, but he's awesome. And the dude can MOVE!

It's amazing just watching him move. Mesmerising!

I have absolutely NO rhythm, and I can tell it's going to be a while before I manage to nail this dance technique, with all the side-stepping and rocking back and forth, and arms being all gangster-y. But I totally love it.

I am actually the ONLY guy in this class (apart from Jack), so that's interesting. But I know some people on the course anyway, so that's okay. The only problem is that women tend to have more rhythm than guys - so even though we're all beginners, AND I've been doing dance for like 6 months now - they all dance much better than me. But I don't really mind so much. I'm just glad I took it.

I was a bit scared of having a different instructor to Mark Short (a living legend); but Jack is pretty cool, and I didn't feel uncomfortable - even when I couldn't get the moves down.

So basically, this is the score: I need to practise A LOT at home and break out all my old hip-hop tracks from back in the day.

I think I'll bust out some moves to the Fugees tonight... word!
