The other thing that no one tells you about things like this is how trivial everything else seems afterward.
( Under the cut: Dance. More dance. Loads of dance. Some serious stuff at the beginning. Then dance. ).
*Or maybe it just feels like such because there is no air conditioning in any of the dance studios, WHAT THE HELL.
** Repeat after me: I am not prejudiced against Drama majors, I'm not prejudiced against Drama majors...
*** "What do you mean, you want me to feel the music?! Eames, this is ridiculous." "Nonsense! Feel the character, Arthur! Be Betty!"
**** Instructors: let's talk about them. I like all of the instructors I've had so far, especially Julie, whom I already know, but I miss Bri. Dance just won't be the same without her. I know all the other dance instructors are also awesome and competent, but I think she was special. She was one of the nicest people I've met, and I think she really respected us as a class (not that other instructors don't, it's just... well). She was lovely and patient, and always took the time to make sure we were following and liking the choreography - and more than that, it was the little things that really highlighted her competence. Like how she would demonstrate things on both halves of the room so everyone could see, and how she ensured that lines were switched up regularly so everyone got a chance at the front. Videotaping the choreo for people to practice at home. Things like that, simple things that made class just that much more often. She was the first dance instructor (hiphop classes were just before lyrical) I've ever had, and I think I can say she will be remembered fondly as one of the best. <3
