Last night's dance class went well. Eight students wriggled about at my insistence, and I think we got somewhere. I had them all working on hip articulations, starting off with using our hips to write the alphabet, then moving up to the shoulders to help wake everything up. I then got everyone to work with balancing canes, but after a while, made everyone put the canes away, because the looks of frustration were getting a bit frightening. I think we'll do some more with the canes next week. It's definitely a practice kind of thing.
When we worked on shimmies, I lost track of the time and ran a bit over. I'm afraid my end-of-the-class stretches were truncated. That's what happens when I get a paltry hour with which to teach a dance class.
Hey, Kathryn, Lynsey, and Elanya! Do any/all of you like to do a little dance demo for the class? If so, let me know. I think the beginners would really enjoy it, and it would show them what they will eventually be able to do if they stick with it.

It goes,
Dance your ass ass off
Dance your ass ass off
Dance your ass ass off
You'd better kiss your ass goodbye!

Hey, there's worse. Remember "I've got my mind set on you"? I thought so.
