dance talk

i'm a bit inspired, dance-wise. it was really nice to get some decent teaching, somewhere outside of angsty old melbourne. it was also nice to meet so many interesting people from all over the world - that was the best thing about herrang.

but i'm totally into leading now - not particularly interested in following. maybe i would be if there'd been any guys in herrang who'd done classes and were interested in trying stuff with me. but doris and i are cooking, and corinne is always up to try things out. so it's girl on girl action at the moment: i am damn lucky to be able to dance with these two superior follows. corinne leads a bit, and doris is interested: soon we will all be all-leading, all-following chicks.

rawk on.

i am obsessed with weight transfer and leading and following with your centre. this obsession was only fueled by the amazing max at the gym (who does my programs and assesments), who's taken up aerial work. we had an excited talk about centres the other week: much enthusiastic realisations about how bodies move in space.

max rawks.

a quick gym note: i am doing a hardcore upper-body and core-strengthening program. so my arms and shoulders ache, my abs ache and i'm getting much more control, centre-wise.
max rocks.
and i am getting a two-pack. if i had less of a jelly belly, i might have a three or four pack. but i do, so i don't. or if i do, i can't see it.
i really like being strong.

i'd like to be fitter, but i just can't hack that boring, dull as dogshit cardio work... aerobics totally sucks.
