I just got back from my first ever Cardio Hip Hop dance class here at the fitness centre in my building. My utmost respect goes to everyone who dances...it is HARD! Only now do I realize how little I know about how to get my body to do a string of really simple movements in a row.
Our class was lucky enough to have the pleasure of quality instruction from Kendall. He taught a pretty complicated Hip Hop routine, and everyone in the class still managed to pick up the moves quite quickly! Luckily, I cheated and learned half of the choreography last night, so that I didn't look like a total dufus! Even with the head start, I still managed to get lost when Kendall began teaching the second part, although the rest of the class picked it up in a snap. I think I managed to learn some of it, but at this early stage of learning to get my body to do what I tell it to do, these moves take a ton of effort and lots and lots of repetition (not to mention memory, quick thinking, and a truckload of energy). After 45 minutes in the dance studio, my heart was racing and my shirt was drenched.
Thanks for the good workout Kendall! I look forward to improving my dance abilities, and getting some exercise in the process. But maybe I wont quit my day job just yet. :)

Thanks for coming to my class Rob. You did a really great job and with a few more practices you'll be ready for the stage! Like everything else, practice breeds perfection and your body will adjust to do exactly what you want it to. Plus there's no better way to break a sweat.Keep up the energy!
Sounds like fun! Glad you enjoyed it! Now that I think of it, I remember you always being the DJ or somehow involved in other things whenever there was a dance at school.
