Ms. Dance Teacher re-starts the music and critiques our spacing and overall technique of this specific dance phrase. Most of us are just tired and hot. We wipe the sweat dripping from our foreheads and quickly turn to our instructor to hear what she has to say. The music blasts and I could feel the harsh bass pounding in my stomach. We try to incorporate her corrections- the arm lifts up on six, not five.
X marks the spot.
Here comes the dreaded phase. Ms. Dance teacher interrupts. I want a bucket of ice to dump over my head. Okay, it's obvious we need to work on this more. Why don't you all take a fifteen minute break, go get some air, water and go over the phrase.
