First Day at Dorsey

My firt day at Dorsey was wonderful. The students are really focused and are up for the challenges I'm giving them. My first lesson was on partnering and presence in Hip-Hop dance, and also served as an introduction to b-boy/b-girling. I really enjoy the group's enthusiasm and I found myself smiling when I stepped back and whatched. There is an incredible amount of talent and soul in that class, I feel really honored and blessed to have the opportunity to teach them what I know. It was nice to be able to teach, without having a teacher constantly making comments to students, as was the case at Jordan. Mrs. Downing really handed over the class to me, which was nice because i felt I had some space to really take charge and teach. It's funny how nervous I made myself before the class, but I felt that this class was in some ways a test... I passed, what a relief. I wish the class met every week, however, the girls were really into the class and many of them left the class smiling and told me "I'm a preactice when I get home." I hope they really do practice because since I only see them every other week it might make it tricky to keep the rhythm and energy of the class, we'll see...
