Tap on a Gloom-ay Day

Originally uploaded by shadowplay.

Today is dull and gloom-ay, kind of like my mood. Last night I had big plans of going to a Cardiobarre class and then a vocal class today, but that gave way to sleeping until 11:00 AM (when Cardiobarre started)and settling for a theater tap class that was an inch harder than what I was used to.

I love tap, as regular readers know. I figured a semi-advanced theater tap class wouldn't be too crowded in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week. Then I got down to studio 4B and there were gobs of people waiting, many of them under the age of 18 and rather lanky. The other half were these seasoned dancers who were all too fabulous for their own good. (They actually used jazz hands without irony...)

The teacher was awesome and sunny and her drills were helpful. The combination was SUPER fast, had a train motif to it, and would have been easier to learn if I hadn't been fighting for space with 25 other people. All in all, I think I'm going back.

As for the rest of the day? Maybe sushi, maybe a film, maybe some real writing.

Or maybe more Style Network. That channel is like crack.
