We love having new teachers come down on a Monday, no matter what the style you always get a different insight from a different dancer - something you've gotta love. So this is why we were thrilled to have the very newly arrived in London Christina come down and teach locking for an hour.
Getting funky is something we always enjoy and Monday was no exception - come on working on wrist rolls, pacing and the scooby doo to Prince - what's not to love?!?!? Maybe the fact that some of us have clearly being spending way too much time in raggatone (@MlleGinger I blame you) as it did seem more challenging than it should have been to get some of the funky moves to move all the way from the knees up without some serious pelvis isolating action that was really not necessary (in my opinion it never is but I'm apparently in the minority on that one so what you gonna do - if you can't beat them join them!). But thanks to Christina's patience and a lot of practice, we did eventually get over this pavlovian response (maybe that should be Gingerian response?) we were banging out the combination. As such I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the moves will be making an appearance at the Christmas battle next month.
So thanks Christina, welcome to the family - looking forward to having you back soon.
