So today my friend Ally and i went and took a master class with Victor Smalley from SYTYC and DMM:) We were there from 10-3:30 and it was better than i expected! We took it at another dance studio so it was kindof awkward for me at first since almost everyone knew everyone and then it was us.. haha! But it got better! We did two different dances, a contemporary one and a jazz funk one! He was really into the artisty in contemporary. And he let you kindof do your own thing. I've never really done that before! I've always just taken the choreography that was given to me and done exactly what i was supposed to do. So it was nice to try something new, and i hope maybe my studio can do a little bit of that too now! Also there was some improv sections we had to do.. -___- i HATE improv.. alot. But i got by i guess.. except jazz. because the jazz dance was sexy,, and we had to improv, yeah. that didn't work. ANYWAYS! the dances were really cool, and unlike anything i've done before! They were fast though! And he teacher pretty quick! But we ran it alot so i caught up eventually! Then we had a "leaps and turns" class. Which ended up being more of a conditioning and jumps class. That was the toughest part. Who knows if i'll be able to walk tomorrow! haha! We did alot of tough things for stretching that i had never done before so it was hard for me! But i guess it will only help me! I mean, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger, right?:) But he showed us some different stretches they do at stars and they were cool! If you're thinking of taking one of his master classes i would totally reccomend it! It was worth my money to get a new taste for dance and to hear and watch a successful dancer speak! He's amazing! If you guys have any other questions about the class you can tweet me or DM me or leave something in one of my comment boxes, but overall i'm so glad that i went through and participated!:)
