Conditioning Class

Gosh, it feels great after the conditioning class... Absoutely exhausting, but my muscles are tired in a good sort of way. After the workout, I feel refreshed and well challenged. I was never really quite satisfied with my isolations, but now I'm even more determined to make it look nicer... Somehow I must arch more! Haha...

I sound like a dancer obsessed.

I guess the isolation class is really good training for us all because it encourages us to push our bodies further beyond it's current limit and break into new territories - more arched backs, faster hip or torso circles... Sometimes I wonder if there's any limit to the human body. Everything I do, I feel that I can push my body further beyond its limits and it never fails to (gradually) go to that limit. It's a never ending game. I guess the only time it'll stop is when my tailbone indeed touches my shoulder blade! Haha... Sounds scary!

The conditioning classes comprises of series of isolations, spins and stretches... the fundamental techniques that we need to be good, solid versatile dancers. Most forms of dance require certain amounts of the three techniques, and Justin has set up a class to mold the dancers into great dancers with the isolations. Personally, I feel that the class is pretty cool, since you can focus on making your isolations better, practice spins in a group, and open up you body after all that with some stretches... This is especially so if we do it everyday... What a great way to end the day with a solid hour of conditioning... I can feel all the stress go away as I use up all my energy sustaining the moves. You also forget about everything else when you're struggling to push your body beyond its limits. And the stamina training you get from it is incredible! Gosh! It's like doing the cardio shines all over again, this time you get to focus more on the isolations. I bet all our students will be effortlessly doing beautiful isolations in no time! Heehee, I can't wait!

The spins are also important. They are the ones that make our dancers stand out in the crowd. All the older SemiPro people are addicted to spinning... Most of them can do at least 4 rounds, if not 5 - 6. I'm thinking of conducting spin practice sessions everyday 15 minutes before class to give us a chance to practice together... That sounds good! And maybe 15 mintues after classes too! Heehee... I must get my 8 - 10 rounds of spins! *new objective set*
