Polka!
Today in Dance Fundamentals we worked on the Polka. It's a lot of fun and not that difficult to learn. It's a little bit harder when your partner is a lot taller than you, but you learn to adapt. TC is a great teacher and he teaches us the history of the dance and how dance has evolved over time. I think we are going to learn some swing dancing next week. For those of you who have already had TC, what was your favorite dance to do?

At first when I had to take a dance class I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy it being that I can't dance! I really did enjoy the class overall I think TC is an awesome teacher too. I think one of my favorite dances was the warm up dance we worked on every day. I cant remember what it was called but it was so fun seeing the whole class do it together in rhythm.
ReplyDeleteI haven't taken the course Dance Fundamentals yet. I'm glad to hear it was a lot of fun! I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy the class since I'm not too good of a dancer. I think it will be neat to learn about dance since I have no prior knowledge of the history. I'm excited to take the class and it's nice to know that TC is an awesome teacher.
ReplyDeleteOutdoor pursuits and dance fundamentals were probably my 2 favorite classes of my entire time here at SRU! They are both extremely fun because amazing professors teach them! I loved every dance we did but I especially liked when we worked with a partner and created out own dance. We got to dress up in costumes and be recorded, it was a good time! I think TC is also an excellent teacher, he keeps the class fun and exciting!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the chance to dance fundamentals yet, but I hear so many good things about this class! I'm really excited to take it!! I did have TC for Intro to Dance and it was a blast having him as a teacher. We did get a chance here a there to dance and at first I was a little uncomfortable because it was such a big class, but I ended up having a lot of fun with it! It also helps having friends in the same class as you because you can loosen up easier.
ReplyDeleteI have not yet taken dance, but I am pretty nervous about the class because my dancing skills are...well awful! It is good to hear that you really enjoy the class and teacher. Polka sounds very interesting. Sounds like you learn a lot of different styles of dance in this class. Any advice for when I take it soon? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dance had to be za. I don't know how to spell it but that seems right. I thought all the dances were fun. Most of them were a very good workout. I had to do the Sicilian Tarantella which I thought was very enjoyable. However I was unlucky and wasn't allowed to do any of the dances towards the end of the year because I had pink eye.
