Palika, class last night was the most challenging, physically demanding educational experience that I have had in a long time. For all you folks that couldn't be there, we did high speed ATS leading and following practice with rapid fire formation shifting and it was AWESOME! Last night's class was the best performance prep I could have hoped for. Yes, the full time high tempo was difficult and sometimes we were fully flailing, but I felt like we were also starting to feel the flow. I learned so much from the practice of high speed sustained ATS. It didn't give us any time to think at all we just had to DANCE. It almost became instinctual and I learned a lot about where my comfort zone is in regard to repertory. I loved loved loved it! Thank you so much for coming up with that class structure for us because it was incredibly helpful to me, and I am sure everyone else felt the same way, judging by the big smiles when we left class.
One last comment: MORE MORE MORE!!!!!
By the end of class I felt like my arms were gonna fall off and I slept like a puppy afterward. Nice.
Love,
