Actual Conversation last week between LBC and I:
LBC calls my cell.
LBC: You going to class tonight?
Me: I was going to call and ask you the same thing.
LBC: MDB called me two weeks ago and told me she missed me.
Me: Well, YOU HAVE TO GO then. hehehehe!
LBC: Alright.
Me: See you there.
Actual Conversation this week between LBC and I:
I call LBC's cell.
Me: It's 6:29pm - where you at?
LBC: I'm tired.
Me: You said you were coming.
LBC: Did I promise?
Side Bar: WTH????
Me (ALOUD): You said you were coming.
LBC: I had a long day. I just want to eat.
Me: Get yo ass in yo car and get here.
LBC: I'm on my way.
Side Bar: heheheheh!!
I'm late to class and miss most of the plie combination, but funny enough I still know where to pick up. Class was full last night. After LBC arrived, we rounded out at 9 ladies for barre and ended with 7 ladies for floor.
LBC makes it in as we finish up our tendu combination and in time to catch another plie combination. MDB says she is doing this so the chick on pointe can warm up her feet. I think she does it so that LBC can really do her plies, but what do I really know, right?
LBC: Did you tell MDB?
Me: Sure did.
The degage combination includes some tempo changes, which don't really seem to go with the music. We have swinging degages in threes with a develope for 2 sets of 8 and then we have coupe degages crossed for 2 more sets of 8 ending with a plie, passe on releve.
Musicality: 1
Beginners: ZERO
We move into our rond de jamb and frappe combinations. We have to do the frappe combination again because we are screwing up efface and epaule when the combination speeds up. I try not to laugh too hard because when she tells us again she is looking directly at me.
Me: Why are you looking at ME? I can't be the only one screwing this up!
MDB: Ok, fine!
And MDB turns and looks at everyone else. And everyone starts laughing.
Side Bar: Hehehehehe!!
After we finish our battements with plies and releves, MDB gives us an adagio that we all manage not to screw up too badly - but she does make us do it again. She then follows it up with a floor combination that includes a little skip and chasse on each side then glissade, assemblage.
Side Bar: I'm starting to short circuit.
Menty: Hold on. We can do this.
Side Bar: It's the hopping part and our legs aren't together....
Menty: I smell smoke already
Side Bar: Hehehehehe! Sorry! I told you.
I manage to jump in the right direction at least twice - but on different attempts. Oh well.
Then we move into familiar combination that I still screw up by forgetting my right from left. WHEEEE!
And then for the ending, MDB gives us something with two chasses, step, step, contretemp.....
FYI: No Bellydancer was hurt, maimed or killed in the execution of this step....but lots of WTF face on my part.
Me: Aren't you glad you came?
LBC: Yeah, I'm glad I came. Did I promise to come? I can't remember.
Me: You said yes around the same time your BF called,
LBC: OH! That's probably why i don't remember.
Me: That's ok. MDB is out next Monday. I'm in Thailand. Take next Monday off too :)
Side Bar: Hehehehehehe!!!
