Ballet

Well, I'm trying to figure out my dance schedule for september.. who knew when we first started this resolution challenge that I'd ever be this into dance? It's been just shy of a year since I started but I am totally hooked, especially with Ballet. Last week I had a 5 day ballet workshop that was just awesome. Each day from 6:30 - 8:00 we had class, and after it was all over, me and the other TBC girls were like "we want to do ballet 5 days a week all the time!"

Oh, btw TBC is Tequila Ballet Club.. 4 of us girls who hang out together. It was originally just "Ballet Club" and we'd meet before ballet on saturday mornings at the juice bar and chill out, but then one evening we planned for a Tequila version of our club cuz Chelsea had gotten back from Mexico with a bunch of really nice tequila. We rented bad dance movies and watched them while gossiping and drinking martinis. It was an awesome night and TBC was born. The other kick ass thing about TBC is that 3 of us girls are all 5'11/6 ft tall. Me, Alesha and Chelsea are the 3 tall girls in our class so we immediately bonded together. Tyra is our 4th, and she kicks ass but is very short, so we have funny jokes about how we 3 would be walking down the street (believe me, 3 6ft tall girls walking down the street turns heads) and Tyra would be running ahead with a little trumpet announcing our way.. of course, when Tyra came up with this idea she was doing this seriously goofy little jig while she pretended to blow a trumpet.. so it's pretty comical to picture.
OK.. that was a serious Aside, but the moral is, TBC rocks!

So.. back to the original post.
I have been wracking my brain over how I'm going to do dance classes this September cuz the times for all the classes I want to take, except ballet, are really crappy.. like 6:15 to 8 at night. Last year my modern classes started at 8:15 at night, so I could go home after work and have a nice dinner and hang for a bit with Paul before heading off to dance. I really wish the classes this year were in that same time frame, cuz that really worked for me. le sigh.. Anyways, it's hard to figure out what to do, so I was considering just taking ballet at Lynda Raino, then taking the Adult Ballet classes at Academy of Ballet, and David's other Ballet class at Allegro. Still have to work out the time, but that might work. however, the bummer with going to 3 studios is that it's way more expensive. If I do 4 classes at Lynda Raino it's only like $140, but doing individual classes at 3 different studios will cost me like 60 bucks per class. Argh.. hard to figure out what to do..
