Hippity-Hop

Dude.  Hip-hop dance is so much fun!  Karen invited me to go to hip-hop class with her and Matt (who happens to be one of the guys who bought us hot dogs last weekend).  I didn't know what to expect and when I walked in there was a big group of people doing this complicated but really cool dance.  I was like, woah, I've got some catching up to do!  Then I saw all these other people waiting on the side and realized that our class hadn't started.  Turns out that was Hip Hop 4 and we're in Hip Hop 1.  It actually wasn't very hard to pick up at all.  I would even think about trying Hip Hop 2 except for one thing.  In the warm up, you have to dance across the room "freestyle."  I suppose I'm freestyle-challenged (read: I look like a freakin' idiot).  Luckily, most people had similar issues, so I think I sort of blended in, but that was the hardest part.  The fact that you have to be travelling across the floor while hip-hop dancing was just not natural for me.  Once we got to the actual dance, it was much easier.  Matt and Karen did a good job and we all had the dance figured out.  I'm definitely glad I went!
