New class - aerial hoop

as though my life isn't busy enuff, Monkey enrolled herself into Aerial Hoop class. Another step further after pole fitness. Yeah prollie she's gonna enrol herself into a circus!!!! Monkeys, elephants, circus...oh well u get the gist. They all go hand-in-hand. While we are on the topic of circus....it has been a long long long long time since I went to one.

So seen above, Monkey was attempting her first semi-split gazelle and she's only 50% there....GAH!!! it requires so much of core body muscle, stability, strength but most of all FEARLESS of heights which again I've failed. Any tricks that require me to move my body upside down aka inverted...it's just too scary to perform for the only form of security was the mat on the floor. It still didn't convince me but so far I have yet to fall but last year I fell really badly from the pole that left such a traumatic experience.


so again and again and again, Monkey hoisted herself up to the hoop using her arms *which now left her arms sore for the last 36 hours*. Positioned and balanced her ass before straightening her body...and then all u gotta do is let it gooooooo LET IT GOOOOOOO and bend as low as possible.

 "I can't anymore!! I'm scared!!!"
Classmates: "AGAIN!!!! You can do it!!!!"


 GAH!!! this is the lowest I can go!!!!
Classmates: "No!!! lower!!!!"

 "Gals!!! seriously my waist is in pain, my arms are gonna break....I wanna come down!!!"
Classmate: "Don't give up yet. TRY AGAIN!!!!!"

 Please~~~~~ Lemme come down!!! I'm scared!!!! I'm not flexible enuff to to a full gazelle yet!!! I dare not even open my eyes!!!
T_T

my classmates are all perfectionists. I don't even need my instructor to whip me, they have done the job for her. I'm the whiner and the lazy one in the class, bcoz of them I've learnt not to give up so easily. So now I need to dedicate time to ensure that I don't skip/miss class...but looks like it's not possible for this weekend, I don't have time to attend classes again. ~_~


Goal for this year....to execute all of the above...
:))))))

We survived Lesson 1 *yaaayyy*

Last nite was our first lesson at Talent Hub dance studio
a few weeks ago, we planned this.....if we gonna lose some weight....we gonna do it the fun way :))))) right? agree?

Sexay Back Maggie found us a place to do this privately with a really good and patience dance teacher :)))))) yeah with us, any coach teacher motivator instructor will need to have patience, and lots of it.....

The 3 tai-tais had no problem getting to the studio....the name says it...tai-tais don't have to work. Notti Monkey dashed and rushed through the KL manic jam to this place which was only 10 km away but it took me 1.5 hours to get there.

I guess the town was in manic after the parliament was dissolved. Either they are happy or just running helter skelter....but I noticed too many traffic lights were not working yesterday and this morning with no police traffic at all on the road!!!!!!! O.O!!!!!
Is this some new tactics to create havoc in the city??? anyway.........

Talent Hub has got plenty of classes from the sexy Burlesque, contemporary, salsa, fly Yoga, latin american, jazz, pole dancing, social ballroom....oh the list is endless!!!!

and to lose weight we needed something energetic, fast, FUN..basically needs a lot of movements...and so here we are...Jazz Mania.

yeah...I know...we are so lame....we enrolled into this class without any knowledge of Jazz Mania, its origins, influence and genre....-_-"

Sharoness bidding goodbye the Queen's way, Sexay Back Maggie must be frying kuey teow with one hand, Beautiful CS posing for the Next Top Model show and Monkey showing that she has got 10 perfect fingers!!!!

Our instructor Sensual Viv was shaking her heads and commented "U ladies are super posers!!! If only u can score better in your dance."

We were soo sooooo sooo super lucky to have Sensual Viv as our instructor. The top ten finalist for So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia S2, represented Malaysia in Hollywood *yeahh Hollywood baybey!!* in the World Championship of Performing Arts. With so many accolades hanging on her wall...u'll be amazed at how down to earth she is....plus she's so so so very FUN!!! but the highest plus point was she's so patience!!!!!! esp with US!!!! Trust me....we are really a bunch of unbearable irritating group of students!!!!


Lesson 1 was already so tough!!!
We were taught so many different sets I can't even remember them now -_-
at the end we were taught to somersault-roll on the floor
O.O
WHAT!!!?!?!?!?!?!?

Monkey: "Are we at the wrong class???? this is Level 1 for beginners Lesson number one right?"
Sensual Viv: "It's easier than u think....look.....lift your legs and hips up....roll to your cheek and DONE!!!!"

All of us O.O
Sensual Viv: "Okie now 5 6 7 8  and go!!!"

We had trouble lifting our bums up, not to mention the entire buttocks and the energy to lift our body up to turn it the other way around
-_-
Sensual Viv came over and push my buttocks over
sigh..............
Sensual Viv: "Okie class now do this 5 times before u can go home!!!"

I cheated...I did half....as in 0.5 somersault-roll and declared it's done and went home
:P told ya I'm a notti monkey
But I'm still looking forward to our next lesson :)) woohoooo
