Beginner Blog: Countdown to the Hafla!

November 13, 2008 12:29 PM

Melissa was sick this week, but trouper that she is, she still showed up for class, taught us a few new moves, rehearsed our hafla choreography and gave a rousing pep talk. The hafla is days away, and my class is so excited for it. For the past two weeks, Melissa has had us practice facing the back wall (and an audience of students waiting for the next class!) to ween us of our dependency on the mirrors, which is a great idea. I haven’t had much time to practice the choreography on my own, but I feel ready enough. It’s only a minute, but there’s so much to remember! The rest of my class has the choreography down, so I can always look to them if I get lost!

Quotes of the night: “Trust your hips. I trust your hips.” - Melissa
“6:45 at the bar. Liquid courage.” - Rikki
