Obviously, somewhere along the line, I had come to the conclusion that an entire summer full of dancing with young children, acting like a swan, and doing the hula was not nearly enough humiliation for me. Oh no-- I'm back for more. Except, this time, it's on the east coast and I am not a part of Caprice's lovely little folk dancing lessons... instead I am enrolled in Kristin's Modern C/Teen B class.
Let me tell you a little bit about this evening:
I am (obviously) in a class with a bunch of small children, some kids who look my age (and by "look my age", I mean that they are probably in high school) and this girl (Molly) who I was in a show with this summer and who knows all about my extraordinary dancing abilities.
These small children who are in this class with me are legit. One of them happens to be a kid I used to babysit...which is really awesome because I lap her in age and she is 900 times more flexible than I will ever be and sometimes her mom stands outside the door and watches.
So, okay... tonight, somewhere in the midst of "RUN, RUN, PIKE, BACKWARD ROLL!!!!!" I end up summersaulting into little Katie Lewis...yes, the one I used to babysit when I was twelve. Again, this is really great. Not only am I in a class with this girl, but I even went the extra mile to ensure that I smashed into her while showing off my many talents.
To quote Molly: "the pike was phenomenal... until you came down from said lovely jump and landed all over that 10 year old."
Watch out, Broadway-- the superstar dancer is back.
