Nov. 2nd, 2004 07:54 amhad my dance class last night.
If I didn't know better I would swear that my instructor was reading my mind about the choreography grumbles. I disagree that "combinations" are the basic grounding of the dance, (I think it is essential that the moves be right first) I do agree that if you can actually get a troupe that is all doing the same thing at the same time... it is really beautiful.
Last night it was pretty bad. She is in such a hurry to teach the combinations that half the class isn't doing the individual moves correctly. This one girls shimmy is so attrocious that it totally distracts me from what I'm supposed to be doing. I just want to go over to her and say... this is how to do it.... And speed. Sorry bdance can be fast, or it can be slow and sensual... and this is just faster than I care for, personally.
It's very frustrating. But... I'm not teaching the class SHE IS. No word on my own teaching gig... but I'm into exams and papers now. Got to get cracking on that research and whatnot.
I think I may not be so eager to sign up for another session of this. Or maybe I will. Or maybe I'll just ask Vicki if I can pop into her class without choreography? see how I like that. Or just order a bunch of DVD's online.
I got a notice about Cassandra/ Isis and Tamara presenting a Workshop and Gala in Sarnia (about an hour away) in April. Day one is a choreography with Zills and Veil, Day 2 layered movements. I've been really wanting to learn Zills. ...
