So yesterday (Friday the 13th) I went to my first EVER dance class. And it was AWESOME!!!! The first thing we did was roll-call then we sat in a circle and started to stretch. After stretching the teacher told us where to stand. I was at the back (since I was the tallest) and so was another girl, while the short people were in the front. We started to learn the basics (pops, grapevine, etc.) as we learned we danced faster then the teacher said we could end in any pose we wanted. I had my arms crossed and leaned to the side. She then told us to go to the corner. The other girls (who have already danced like doing Ballet or Jazz were in the front of the line while the people who have never danced went at the back of the line.) Our teacher told us that we had to dance to the other corner of the dance room. One at a time we would each do a move. First time everyone had to walk with attitude, second time we had to skip, third time we had to take 4 steps then do a move she tells us to do. This one move (you had to step out with your left foot and take 4 steps then to one grapevine then take 4 more steps then another grapevine) the girl who knew how to dance didn’t do it right so the teacher said “Kuniko, what foot do you step out on?” I answered “Left.” she smiled and said. “Alright Kuniko, show them how it’s done.” I felt so special! I went in the front of the line and did it and then we did other moves to. We had to take 4 steps then spread our legs apart and punch our arm to one side then the other arm to the other side (which was actually very hard!) we then formed back up like how we were when we started to dance. We did all the moves we learned and a few new ones as well! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO fun I can’t wait to go again!
