Is combinator a word?!?!?

...... apparently it is! It's something to do with combinatory logic which is used in computing and mathematics - YAWN! Here at Dance Station it means something a little different. The combinator is what Ginger (@MlleGinger) becomes on a Thursday night during Raggatone. We don't do routines or choreography in Raggatone as that doesn't sit well with the party vibe. Instead we do combinations of the moves we have been perfecting (or attempting to perfect and failing miserably in my case) over the last couple of weeks. This means that it doesn't matter if you turn left and not right so long as you're having a good time and SWEATING it out. 

This weeks combination had the extra element of interactivity - (please ooh and ahh as you read this). Although my apparent inability to find a partner in time at least 75% of the time induced flashbacks of school PE sessions and being repeatedly picked last for all teams (seriously why is it so important that you are able to catch/kick/hit the ball?!?!?), the experience was immeasurably more enjoyable and, as such, can be considered a form of therapy.

In all seriousness highlighting the social side of dance is something that we're very big on here at Dance Station and that shouldn't be neglected just because Raggatone is a fitness class as well as a dance class - in some ways it may be more important as it makes exercising fun. Plus you burn 3 calories and tone your stomach everytime you laugh so why go to the gym and be miserable when you could come to Raggatone and get twice the workout just because you're having a good time?
