After last night's adventure, I waiver on my determination to go back to class. Frankly, when I looked in the mirror last night I saw two giant hams fighting for space in a tight bag -it was NOT pretty. And that would be my thighs - not my TWINS!
So anyway, I go with a less showy print of belly dance pants, two bra sports bras, black top and black hoodie. I get checked in and walk to the back. The room is packed. There are 8 people already inside waiting for class to start. I do my usual winter strip tease that is anything but sexy since it involves hopping, balancing and swearing.
I can hear MDB's footfalls before she rounds the corner and for someone so little, she knows how to make her presence felt :). I hand her an apple this time and tell her if I see her on Thursday she's going to have to get a cucumber because that's all that's left in the fridge.
MDB is really chatty tonight because 6 people are new to her class. We line up at the barre and do our standard plies with chambres and port de bras. We move through two tendu combinations, degages, rond de jambes, and frappes without the beats tonight.
Now we are ready to do the leg stretches at the barre and MDB asks everyone to start in second position and then pull their thigh back and into their socket to line up their belly button and their big toe (or something like that) and she's walking along the stationary barres. Because Ms. J, LBC and I are at the floor barre, she doesn't check us so she asks us if we did it. And we look at each other and I'm about to lie - but MDB says: LIAR!!
Side Bar: BUSTED!!!
Menty: DENY, DENY, DENY. She doesn't know, she didn't see, admit nothing!
I say outloud: Uh huh - of course we did - followed by a toothy smile and laugh.
MDB says lying is a good skill because if a teacher asks you always say yes! LOL
I say: Now she's turning it into a compliment.
The whole class is laughing now :) Maybe we should get a comedy routine....
Ok, I'm use to MDB calling herself a liar in class, but now she's calling me a liar, too!! So I also said this is going in a note!!
We go back to sissones - only forward this time because hell she didn't want 7 people not going backwards. And then we follow it with hops and skips with that funky one directional turn in one direction and then the twirl in the other direction. Insert MAJOR EYE ROLL!! From this point forward I'm going to love every freakin thing - otherwise it's going to happen every class.
