ouch.

Body. Hurts. Bad.
last night i paid my "tuition" at dance 101. when the girl at the desk asked me what classes i was taking, i picked three - weighted stretch/ballet, jazz and dance fitness (which is really hip hop). i'd read the descriptions for these classes earlier in the day and thought these 3 would give me a proper workout without killing me. i used to be able to handle three...

a lot of people think of ballet as a slower, more controlled, easier movement. its not as choreographed as other classes i've taken, but that shit hurt. my body hurts in places its never hurt before and i was definitely the least flexible in that class. i am taking it again tonight only to prove to it (and by "it" i mean the class) that i will not be defeated! i'll show you, class!

the weighted stretch/ballet class was supposed to be a warm-up, but it ended up being a full-on workout, so when i stumbled out of that studio, i must not have heard the class call correctly because i joined what i thought was jazz on the main floor. it ended up being a much more advanced level funk class. i was OUT after 15 minutes. hard.

so sitting in the waiting stall, i was a bit disappointed in myself. why didn't i just ask the front desk where my class was instead of wussing out? no idea. 8pm rolled around and i was excited to take the dance fitness class, as i'd taken it before, but i had been so stretched out from the previous class that i was crap at following the choreography and my legs kept cramping up. i kept falling over to the left on my spins. the girl on my left kept cracking up at that. basically i gave up on the class, but finished.

but, i'm going back. it was a bad night. we all have those. and it was the first day. so i'll just shake it off and keep going.
