Surprise!! You're in a hip-hop choreography class!

We had our first “Acting Video Workshop” yesterday. We packed up for a full day of school and hurried off to Whistling Woods in our jeans and kurtas. After a relaxing breakfast we were rushed off to the music room for our workshop and some light acting fun. What we found was a room full of trained Indian dancers and the repeated blasting “Apple Bottomed Jeans” by T-Pain. We stared around at the workout clothes and streches that were going down on the other side of the room and we started to feel a little out of place. What exactly were we doing there and why was that guy doing the splits on the other side of the room? Aren’t we acting? Nope.

What followed was four hours of non-stop, butt-shaking, arm-popping hip hop in a 90 degree workout room. I wish I had the pictures, Lucien you’ve got some posting to do. We did pretty well I think, considering the circumstances. I’m proud of my contribution to that class and ability to keep myself from tripping over my feet. Sure, I got pretty lost in the (what seemed like) 100’s of steps (but that’s totally an exageration) we had to learn, but I had fun. Would I do it again? erm……..
