Up for some hip-hopping?Category: dance
Verve Studio is starting up some really interesting classes in March including a hip hop class with Micheal Burton, a popping class and a hatha yoga class with T. J. Veith in addition to the breakdancing classes with Shane "Depree" Fry. 
I am pretty interested in taking the hip hop with Michael Burton because I really want to incorporate some hip hop flavour to my stick-like salsa.
The current schedule is for Thursdays. They need 3 more people to offer a class on Mondays... Who's up for hip-hopping with me?

Sorry about so much whining about budgets. I don't think I have ever had a more expensive month as this one...

Ideally, I would love to be in all the classes but it's all getting a bit too pricey for me.... It's not very practical to break my budget so I need to make some hard choices.

I'm thinking that yoga class with t$ would be good. It fits my schedule and is walkable.

I just did a baby-freezeCategory: dance
in breakdancing class with Shane "b-boy Depree" Fry today.
I was in suspended animation floating in an orbit around Uranus. That, and I have somewhat sore elbows.

Virabhadrasana IIICategory: dance
I can't hold this pose for more than 3 seconds rooted on my right foot but I can hold it for 2 minutes or more rooted on my left.
And, in a rinse-and-repeat of old news, I am still super-clumsy in the intermediate salsa class. I am just not fierce enough. Anyone know of extreme bare-hands/knife street-fighting classes in the city? I vaguely remember seeing a small sign quietly saying "extreme"-something between the Chinese eatery and the tattoo place on the west-sidewalk in the block between Utica and Bryant on Elmwood. Wonder what it was...

I need to explain the Tea Cups that was a joke of course.... But there is a group I have seen a few times and may have put some pictures on here of called The Peking Acrobats (not sure if I spelled that right like the place in China). The thing with acrobats is a lot of their moves are like are about total body control strength and balance. I don't mean that you can squat 300lbs or you can bench press 400lbs. The type of strength they have is they can hold body positions and lift or move their body with say and arm so they are in balance. I forget the exact feat but like one of them is balancing cups on a plater and it gets to be two and three and keeps going. I think the guys do a thing where they put a bowl on there head and balance one on the end of their foot and toss it up they are pretty cool..... That type of thing is what I was referring to... In terms of the balance on both sides hopefully with practice you will get them equal or pretty close.........

Well you have to practice it until you can hold it on your bad side as long as you can on your good. I know things like that are a combination of strength and Balance.. Now on a less serious note once you get that down it will be time to try the tea cups on the feet next...HA

I'm not real good friends with statistics but I've seen footage (no pun intended) of Mrs Marcos' shoe palace, and I would suspect that you are several standard deviations from being an Imelda. Dream on!!
