Dance Training Journal 11: 2/18/15
I had a lot of fun with this class. We were supposed to get in touch with our own physical/motion capabilities, so we started practicing some medititon/sun salutations. We then practiced playing 'follow the leader" with our eyes closed. It was more complicated than in acting class, as we could switch leads, and trade partners, making it MUCH more physically dynamic than I was used to. I noticed that some partners were more nervous, or more confident than others, and as a "follower" some leaders had more courage/boldness in the risks they lead me into and out of. The falls/catch practice was very helpful, it was good to be instructed to fall to the side so my partners could deal with my weight. Was also an entertaining dynamic with my partners, some were more comfortable being caught than others, making trust/risk taking a big deal. The dance JD and I did at the end, I adapted to her current capability, as she was tired, and was not able to use her full potential. Despite that, we still had a good dance with a bit of a martial arts/fighting theme. Was a blast.
