I have been taking ballet every Monday for over a year now. A few months ago they started offering a Broadway dance class right before ballet class. I would come early and watch them perform dances to some of my favorite Broadway shows while I got ready. I said last month, “ I am going to take this class” but I chickened out. Well, today I finally picked up the courage. Wow! It was so much fun! It was a much higher-energy class, every stitch of clothes I had was drenched with sweat at the end. Plié’s, Attitude, Cou-de-pies, and other steps I am familiar with were there, so not totally new. But adding jazz hands, a broken doll walk, and a few other contorted walks made it exciting and new. Lots of hip isolation moves that I am excited to learn, my hips may not be, but I am. I will try again next week, maybe get brave and try both classes on the same night.
