Intro to Dance, Wednesday Period 1

It was once again too early in the morning for this. But the moose had been immovable and so here they were again, bright and early, unlike the sun which hadn't even risen a full hour ago.

Disgraceful. That was what it was.

But she had class, which meant that even if she couldn't quite hit 'pep,' she still couldn't be a zombie for them.

After going through that morning's stretches (to the catchy beat of 90s Italian pop), Verity explained the day's lesson. "So much of dance is being able to move your body around to the music," she explained. "But sometime around puberty, most people forget how to just move. We become stiff and locked up, moving all of our body at once instead of individual parts. This is especially true with hips and, honestly, if you can't move your hips freely, you'll never be able to dance. So today, we're going to do some exercises to loosen you all right up."

Astrid was thinking a little less about how her body moved as she was stretching as she was thinking about how she would have never expected a dance class to be one of her favorites of a semester, and yet there they were. She just sort of liked being able to shut off her brain for a while and follow instructions, so the stretching was nice. Maybe she needed to look into some meditation or something...
