Hip Hop

I attended a hip-hop class this morning. I was so excited about it. I get all ready and I take Zoey with me. She loves music so she just sat on the floor and watched us attempt to dance. In my head I was thinking that this is going to be fun and easy because I am so used to dancing. I mean I did take dance from the world's greatest, my momma, for 15 years. Well first off I was super impressed with our instructor, Jenny. She was amazing. I loved her style and she was just so much fun to watch. But can I tell you how embarrassed I was because I felt so freaking uncoordinated and felt like I had never before danced in my life. Not only was I sweating in every crease in my body and out of breath, but I felt like I couldn't get down with my bad self and get it together. I was a little disappointed in myself. And honestly ever since I gave birth to Zoey I have felt like I lost that sense of coordination in me. Can this be possible? Probably not. I always tell Shawn that if I wasn't a sport junky and played sports whenever I could that I would totally take up dancing and would want to go pro, like So You Think You Can Dance pro. Well that is not happening now after my reality check. Don't take me the wrong way about the class though. I totally loved it and would go every single Saturday if Jenny taught it, but I just felt so uncoordinated. Kind of a sad reality check. Maybe I just need to get back into it or maybe I just need to give it up. Not sure. I do love dance though and think it is an amazing way to express yourself and share your talents. Thanks again Jenny for a fun class. It was a blast and I would love to be as good as you someday:)

I'm really sad I missed it man.
I REALLY hope she teaches it again.
Was there a good turn out?

don't give up!! i understand what you mean about your body feeling out of whack since giving birth, i feel that way too. I bet if you give it some time to get back into it, you'll do great! Glad you had fun!

sounds like it was a good thing I didn't go. I am already uncoordinated, but being pregnant doesn't help. Glad you had fun!

Uh, yes! It is definitely possible to lose things like that after you have a baby. Your whole body changes and you have to relearn everything about it. So don't give up!! I'm a total ADDICT to SYTYCD! And I bet you could get there some day. I admire your willingness to try!!

I'm sure you still "got it" Chels! My cousin and I took a hip hop class together last year and it was really embarressing! We stood in the back row every week and pretended we knew what we were doing.
