Wednesday nights I take a Hip-Hop class at a gritty
dance studio near the MFAH. I tried the class as a means of rekindling my love of dance plus a nice 90-minutes of cardio, and was instantly addicted to the easy-going nature of the studio. I grew up in a strict, classic studio which I loved, however the casual vibe at the Met is appealing as a stark contrast (it reminds me of parts of
Center Stage). My sassy teacher can dance circles around all of us (and most likely anyone in a club). He teaches in a hurried yet meticulous nature that I love. Even if I fall behind on the choreography I enjoy the chase of catching up. I look forward to it each week. It's the best way to spend 90 minutes of exercising!
When I arrive early I am able to watch the end of the tap class before me. Though I took tap for 15 years I am completely intimidated to add this class to my schedule. The crisp, clean sounds that come from the teacher's taps are perfect. I wonder if it's like riding a bike...would I remember the steps? Would my feet fall back in line? Who knows, but for now--I'll stick to Hip-Hop, where I feel I belong. Perhaps I'll work up the courage to tackle tap later in the year.

You should definitely start tap again! With your dance moves, I know you'd pick it up again right away!
I'll try hip hop if you try tap!!
