Dance Fever Reflection 22.10.15

Yesterday, at 12:00, my class and I went down to the school hall to get our Dance Fever lesson. This was our first lesson, as last week we were at camp when they were here. 

When we walked in, they told us to get into a boys and a girls line. Then they introduced themselves. Their names were Miss Rach and Lieutenant. Then they told us to get on our knees and practice the moves they taught us. The moves were right, left, roll it up, roll it down, muscle down, turn right, cat daddy, cat daddy, feet together, left kick step, right kick step, freeze, merge into a line with the boys, hands down, pop pop change three times, then 3 singles, put your hands down. That's the hip hop dance so far.

Then they taught us the first moves of the samba. Some of these moves were really complicating and confusing, but with the help of them and the other students, most of the moves got easier. The moves went like this - right foot back, step twice, left foot forward, step twice, step right, step twice, then do that again, but sideways. Now comes the tricky part. You go outside foot, inside foot, walk to the right in four steps until you face the back of the room, and you do that two more times. And that's the samba dance so far. They also taught us how to do the hold. We had to hold our hands up high, the girl's hands on top of the boy's. If the hands drop, this is something called "romantic hold."

Shortly after that, the class finished. This was a really good lesson, and I really enjoyed it. I could hardly wait for next week's lesson.
