It’s official. I had my first tap dancing class last night.
It’s only a 5 week course. I’d love to continue after that, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to afford it, we’ll see.
The teacher is the owner of the studio. She’s also a choreographer, film/TV dancer, and teaches all of it – ballet, tap, jazz, modern. Having been in the entertainment industry as both talent and then later on in the administrative side of things, I just had my fingers crossed. She wasn’t a bitch! Yay! She was strict about certain things, but explained why. The rest of the time she was very loose, and getting us to have fun while pushing us at the same time.
It is so familiar to me. You know what they say about bicycles and horses… But the view in the mirror is a whole lot different.
I’m glad I’m doing this, sore calves and toes and all.
Good! I always get so nervous before trying out a new class. (but i have social anxiety issues you might not) have fun with it~!
Congratulations to you! Taking the 1st step (or tap!) is always the hardest. Push through the pain and you will have happy feet in no time.
