springing for private lessons.
Feb. 1st, 2007 10:19 amthis computer is still limping along. Ordered a new one. It should be here in the next day or two.
I've decided to drop my dance class on Monday. She didn't get enough registrants to run the intermediate class. So rather than lose the time slot she opened it to beginners of which she always has far far too many.
I talked to her about it and the possibility of running a smaller class at her home studio - - The home studio she just finished before xmas.
So... I'm going to spring for semi-private lessons. Not really that expensive. or rather... expensive compared to my very cheap Monday class but not a lot in the grand scheme of things. I hope there will be someone to split the cost with - otherwise... Plus with this very small group I am HOPING to get some real criticism. I really do want to improve.
I just couldn't bare the beginner lesson I attended on Monday this week (before deciding to drop out and ask for a refund- Campus Rec pays her the same amount regardless of how many students). I was 90% bored out of my skull. 5% in pain, because she is teaching a new warm up that involves a LOT of dancing on an elevated foot - the EXACT thing that wrecks my ankle that I just spent a month in physiotherapy trying to fix. and 5% fun. Because it actually is a fun warm up choreo.
Plan is that one other student and I, and anyone else that she can find interested - will be going to her house on Wednesday nights for a different choreography. If she drops out then I hope we can do zills and drills. Choreography is just so... blah to me. I just don't really like dancing a set routine to a specific song over and over and over and over... I'd rather learn something that I can adapt to different music or just improvise... but... whatever.
