Wha, what?!

You are going to be surprised to hear this, but I did indeed get my butt off the couch last night, got dressed and went to watch Qs Intermediate Hp Hop class. Heck, I was even surprised. But I kicked myself the last time I had an opportunity to check in with him and I am at my stuck week. If you remember I went through the same woes at this time last session. I just have to get through it.

Watching his class last night, I realized that I am totally on track. He has class once a week and there were only 6 students in the class. Soooooo much more reasonable than my 2 classes FOUR days a week for 1:40 instead of an hour. His style is very clean and he really kept pushing them over and over again to the same piece of music. The choreography was created for Timbaland's Boardmeeting, and that's what got me thinking about using a specific piece of music more. I realized that I haven't done this with hip hop even though I always do it with theatre. Strange, huh?

After Qs class, I said hello to Baote who was in my first class last session and spoke with Q for about 20 minutes. He is trying to schedule a workshop this weekend and I offered to help him find space at UCD. It seems possible once I spoke to Robert in the department office this morning - and even more so since I am not heading up to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival so I could be there to open the doors. But when I got home from Wyatt's this evening there was no message on my phone. Oh well. It would have been nice to just dance and watch the four instructors teaching skills.

Rehearsal with Wyatt was good this evening. We worked out new material, but it was just the two of us. He wimped out and did not talk to Stephanie. So, about 5 minutes into our practice, she walks through the door - right after I asked what the scoop was. So, he put his guitar down and went inside from the backyard and apparently she was busy. She went into her room pretty quickly and stayed there. I felt hugely uncomfortable, but we worked out 3 more songs, I had 2 Buds and tried the Cinnabread Pizza from Woodstock's. Apparently we have a drummer and are on the search for a bassist.

After my lovely bike ride home, I FINALLY graded the history presentations for both classes and posted them online. I was very lenient and gave everyone in the 90-100 range. And of course, that leaves me back on the couch watching gymnastics.

What a day!
