For the last month I’ve been obsessing over a clip of Greg Burge and Hinton Battle on stage in Sophisticated Ladies. I swear, I have never seen such quick, accurate and flamboyant hoofing in my life, plus they do ridiculously high kicks and the splits, which reminds me instantly of The Nicholas Brothers. And the music is fab. Love it! I have a lot of training to do LOL.

Today was the final rhythm tap class before a 3 week break for the Easter Hols. A few of us were asking what we’re going to do?! Well, I’m going to continue with the gym hopefully.

I really love the routine we’ve been doing to Aaron Taylor’s Easy. There are slides, 4 beat riffs, pick-ups, turns, lots of shuffles in different directions including across the body, and more. I felt I kind of had a bit of the ‘lazy leg’ today where I wasn’t always hitting the floor, but I just need to do some general practice and, inspired by Battle and Burge, perhaps a bit of work on leg speed…

Exciting news – our teacher is hopefully going to start a level 3 (intermediate) class on Thursday lunchtimes from September so that some of us can move up and progress! That solves my issue of trying to do those late Wednesday nights and starting work late the next day. I can’t wait!
