My foot-eye coordination sucks?!
So I decided that since I want to do cardio, I’ll take dancing lessions because that seemed more fun that running on some machine at the gym. After checking out a lot of the dance studios, I went with Harbour Dance Centre, which was recommended to my by Al’s friend Wil. I signed up for their progressive PCD Hip Hop for beginners and thought it should be alright since it said “beginner”.
The first 10 minutes was warm up. Basically we follow the instructor and copy her moves. Just from watching the rest of the girls (it’s a female only course) I can tell that 98% of them had taken some sort of dancing before. The next 5 minutes we did crunches, which I totally didn’t expect to be doing. It was nice thought since I got to work on my abs, except I’m not use to doing it non-stop for 5 minutes straight.
The last 45 minutes of the class we worked on the routine to a song. It was interesting and fun. However, everything was taught in a pretty fast pace (or maybe I’m just slow?!) Remembering the steps aren’t too hard, but actually executing them and at the speed of the music is a bit tough for me. I had thought since it’s a “beginner” course it’d be slow so people could follow but I guess not in this case. So my solution now is to just practice before the next class and hope I can follow faster next time.
I have to say though, it was more fun than I thought. And being an all female class made it a bit more comfortable to start out. I’m planning on taking salsa lessons when MH comes back from vacation. I wonder how many times I’ll step on him…hehe.
