Kickboxing and Belly Dancing
Finally - finally I get to complain about my classes. Well, not the classes themselves, because they are great - both are an awesome workout (yes, who would have though belly dancing was a good way to work out? And it’s fun too!), but some of the people…drive me insane.
Last night was the last session of my kickboxing class. The makeup night, which I needed to attend. Usually I end up being the only person in class during a makeup session (which is a thrill itself, let me tell you), but alas, I was not. Of course I couldn’t have one of the nice, non-annoying people from class. Or maybe just ONE of the annoying people. Instead I had what I consider the most annoying two. One of them wears some sort of contraption which beeps incessantly during class…I’m not sure if it’s a heart monitor, or just a watch that beeps every 5 minutes, but it screws up your timing. On the other side of me was the girl, who for some unknown reason insists on wearing those shoes that flash when you step down on the heel. I had no idea they made these larger than a child’s size 8 shoes, but apparently they do. So I have beeping off to my right and seizure-inducing shoes off to my left. *le sigh* Hopefully they won’t be back in the next session, but I highly doubt that. Next week I can’t wait to see what interesting people the new session brings with it.
Belly Dancing is another story. We just had our recital last Friday night, and since it was my last big one before I leave for California, I decided to perform a duet, in addition to the three other dances I was in. I was pleased with my own performances, and to see some friends and coworkers attend. But tonight marked the continuation of class, and there’s a couple interesting characters here too. One of them is terrible, although she’s been taking class for a least a year now. The other considers herself “advanced” but for some reason still comes to our “intermediate” class and thinks she’s so much better than all of us. Luckily this woman is moving soon, and the two of them come together, so hopefully we won’t be seeing them too much longer.
