Well its been a week since I updated, but thats not because I haven't been dancing. I have been going for it. I basically stepped up my training and practice to usually 3hrs a day which has been awesome.
Friday was stretching and light stuff in the morning and then back to back class friday night of popping and hip hop which was awesome and really nailed the hip hop class with Joseph.
Sat was a 2hr Jazz class in the avo with Julie which was great and I got some really good technique work done and she started to explain how the technique stuff we do (which seems really boring) relates to all the jumps and turns and more complicated moves. I even kept up with the routine we learnt and felt like an 80's fame jazz dancer!! Was classic.
Sunday is recovery day now so I did an hours cardio and stretching with a good spa at my apartment in the evening.
Mon I was in the studio early morning and then BodyJam class in the evening. Was an awesome session in the morning and I refined my piece of choreography and sharpened it up and at the end of my session I completely nailed the routine and it felt sooooooooooo good. It was one of the most exhilarating and fulfilling things to accomplish. It was my creation and it all came together. 6 hours of work! I am happy with it and showed it to someone today who thought it was great, and agreed I need to sharpen it even more. Body Jam was also rocking that night with Gandalf as it was new stuff getting ready for a new choreography launch. Most full on cardio work out I have ever done. No other class gets my heart up like that.
Tuesday was early morning session for 2hrs which I did a lot of jamming, and free styling and working on popping and different moves, plus more on my choreography. I also do yoga on tues which sounds relaxing, but it is the most intense class, but makes you feel so stretched and strong by the end of it. Lots of ab work and balance poses - really hard and I felt very unco!
Wed was a 1 1/2hr gym session in the morning and then a hip hop class with Joseph at City Dance. It was a very funky routine and I really managed to get it down fast and was able to give my full self expression to it and add some real feeling to the routine which always just adds another dimansion and experience to learning and performing choreography. First you learn it and just copy the teacher, then as you really get comforable with it you add your own feeling and soul to it and it becomes your own!
Thurs was a 1.5hr dance session in the studio and Lawrence the popping teacher came along and taught me some popping. Was awesome to get right back to basics of waving and fresno popping. I also begun to work on my next piece of choreography! Yay. So excited about the song. Really funky. And then I did a lunchtime bodyjam class that was full on as always.
And that people is my week in review and what it looks like for me at the moment on my journey. I am also working during the day from home on my own business and with an online marketing company for 2 hrs a day that my cousin owns. And I often come home at night and go back into the office to keep working on projects and business stuff I am creating.
I am pretty tired physically, but actually feeling really good and very satisfied with my progress and what I am accomplishing both with my dancing and all the projects I am at work on.
I am endeavouring to get my choreography filmed soon, but waiting on a few technical things.
Peace!
