Giving our penchant for waacking, spirits always run high between 7.30 and 8.30 on a Thursday night but this Thursday we were on a whole different level as we got psyched for the waacking battle at ThrowDown later that night. Basically this means that we went hard!
Starting with the standard arm drills we took these up a few notches to add a little bit of (insert name of appropriate christmas spice) by ratcheting up the levels of coordination needed and of course a FIERCE FACE. Contrary to popular opinion, this doesn't mean looking like you want to either beat up or seduce the person standing opposite you (or yourself in the mirror which would be EVEN weirder) but just having intention behind your moves. For example, I concentrate really hard on not giving myself dyspraxic concussion.
Once we'd got in the mood we moved onto busting some moves across the floor, again taking a basic move (a rond de jambe) and giving it a bit of waacktion to take it from boring to banging (the same as going from 0-60 for any of you who are automobile minded) in 5 seconds flat. Before getting to the peak of the evening - DRAMA.
This is where, helped by our dear friends Barbara and Donna, we really came into our own. Throwing the gauntlet down and crying 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH' (whatever that be referring to) we took the intro on as teams and then busted out some sick solo freestyles for the rest of the track. Seeing everyone get involved, even those who are more recent additions to the clan and aren't quite as addicted as the waacking disciples (@LolaLola_B, @trixiecantswim, @SusieQ_licious, @KatyMillsLondon, @ToriKB, @CarleeBanks), is something that I never fail to find exhilarating and was either the PERFECT way to get us psyched for the night or the PERFECT sneak-peak of what's to come in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
WERK!!!!!
