Intro to Jazz Class #6

Intro to Jazz Class #6

Had an amazing class. We finished our first dance phrase today, and I was amazed by how well I had learned it in the past 3 weeks. I wasn't perfect but i noticed a lot of my other classmates were still having struggles as well. I was also very happy to discover that despite being the 33 soon to be 34 year old guy, i was just as flexible (and on occasion more so) than some of my younger classmates!!

I'm also noticing that as I get better and better and meditative technique my perception is opening up, to the point where I can watch the whole room and everyone in it. This techinque, called "looking beyond the mountain" in martial arts is amazingly helpful when following the other students in the choreography, and for seing how to perform the dance properly. Gonna keep working at it!!

Additionally, we are working on .... what's it called. The standing on one leg with the heel fitting in under the knee thing. in preparation for pirrottes. (which I can do now, just need to get the spotting right). Oh yeah. And I need to spam spotting training this weekend. Gonna be fun!!!
