Chronologically…

Ballet (age 4) – hate it. Meanie teacher is scary as she goes around the room pushing kids down forcing us to go deeper than we’re able to in the splits. Look forward to mama coming to pick me up in her pretty dresses and fabric flower earrings.
Chinese Folk Dancing (age 5) – not too bad. But my brain keeps freezing during the big performances.
Jazz (age 7) – slightly difficult as it is hard to understand the nice teacher’s directions when I know so little English. I feel fat and uncomfortable in my oversized leotard that Mom swears I’d grow into.
Square Dancing (age 9) – wtf is with these Americans? Why are they making us do this in school? Why aren’t we in PE class? Partner up with a BOY? Gross, cooties! Do-si-what?
Modern/Lyrical/Funk (age 15) – at least I’m not in regular PE. And I’m learning lots of French! Pirouette, plie’, porte’ bourre…chaine turns…uh…does spelling count on the final? Whoa, we’re gonna be in the school dance concert? And it’s gonna be televised? COOL!!
Cardio Funk/Hip Hop (age 19) – I’m home! I am FEELING this! I LOVE this music! This is MY dance!
Street Hip Hop (age 20) – You want my body to go from the floor there to WHERE? How? WHAT? Body roll, body roll, body roll, down, kick up, leg goes from behind me on the ground on all fours to in front of me…*pant pant* Wow, this looks SO cool if I could only breathe.
Latin Ballroom (age 22) – …and we’re back to wtf. I can NOT get my hips to move this way. Feet where? I am SO not feeling this. I miss hip hop. And I’m not coming back.
Bellydance (age 30) – Okay, okay, I think I’m getting this… not the workout I wanted, but interesting. I’m starting to like the music. Some of these moves look pretty cool.
Burlesque (age 31) – I will let you guys know after the class on Sunday…
