Holy Hip Hop Hurting

I grew up loving dance.  I took classes from when I was 4 years old until my senior year of high school, assisted in teaching the younger classes and cheered for four years which also involved a lot of dancing.  Once I got to college, other than the occasional routine for my sorority or a fun night out, I completely stopped.  During this seemingly extra cold and long winter I've really been trying to make working out fun for myself, whether it be downloading new songs for the treadmill or trying new machines at the gym. As soon as I heard about this hip hop class in Charleston I knew it was something I had to try.  I finally made it this past Tuesday night and, three days later, I can finally walk again.  It seriously kicked my ass and I loved it!  Whitney, Taylor and I all went together and I cannot wait to go back next week.  The class moves around to different parts of Charleston - Mondays on Daniel Island, Tuesdays in Mt Pleasant, Wednesdays in West Ashley and Thursdays on IOP - and has a $10 drop-in fee each time.  The classes are an hour and fifteen minutes long, although ours ran thirty minutes over, which includes some warm up exercises, learning and performing a routine (over and over) and then cool down stretches.  There are people of all skill levels in the class so you don't feel uncomfortable and the really good ones are amazing to watch.  I highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to switch up their work out!

I'd like to take this time to give a shout out to my orthodontist for fixing my grill!
