swingchickie | MUCH better! (Reply)

took my first davanced WCS class with john festa last night. finally, a class that i'll go to regularly! it's wasn't difficult, but i did learn a little new variation on something, which was cool. he's a much nicer guy than i thought he'd be (anecdotes from friends who have seen him DJ led me to that), and his teaching style is certainly different -- at one point while he watched me dance, he was like, "levitate!!! LEVITATE when you move down the slot!" and he grabbed my ass with both hands and pulled it upwards as he pushed me forwards. we both cracked up. i was like, "um, hard to levitate when you're carrying around 70 extra pounds!"

so, i'm psyched. and inspired enough to go dancing this sunday, and maybe check out some of the NJ/NY dances in another few months once i have my dance mojo back.
