Fitness #8:
Type of Class: Theatre (Fosse ;)
Instructor: Diana Laurenson

I love Diana's class - always have, she's wonderful. And of course, let's not forget that I love fosse - so it is the most perfect of combinations.

dude- I have like crazy, but poorly sculpted 80's bangs in this pic - ai-yai-ai ahaha

Fitness #9:
Type of Class: Contemporary
Teacher: Slam

sooo- class was great, continued on from yesterday's combo - enjoyed it... and then, at the end of class... how do I put this... Slam, didn't want to take his pic again??? sooo- um, yeah, sadly, I don't have a proper pic today for this. And - I guess I'm gonna go to a different class next week so I can get my pics which I need for the blog and this competition. BUT - because I'm a determined creeper (hey! that's a new one) I took a pic of him in the hall, you can see the shoulder of my lovely friend Karina Teran concerned and saying, just take it now HAHAHA - I love you Kraina and it was so nice to take class with you again - xo

Anyway, I dunno how to handle this - I suppose I'll email someone from BDC about it so I and others doing the challenge don't run in to this too-

so, here's my creeper pic (ugh)

Fitness #10:
Type of Class: Jazz Funk
Instructor: Sheryl Murakami

Another class I haven't taken in a while and Waaaaaaaay outta yee ol comfort zone! I almost NEVER go to hip hop etc classes these days - I'm happy to hit up Ballet, Theatre, Graham, Horton... but it was good - I feel like I kept up and was pretty good - not my strongest, but good. I enjoyed it and I really like Sheryl - I dunno how to describe it - #1 she's an amazing dancer and she's got technique too (boo-ya), great teacher, hilarious, confidant - AWESOME! Thanks for the class Sheryl!!!!

I will never pose like this for a photo again. the end.
