Ok so I know we spend a lot of time together in the studio but we don't actually live there (probably just because there are no beds ....) and so it really isn't an inordinate amount of time.
At least that is what I believed until waacking on Thursday, when in the space of one hour, there were at least four counts of saying or doing things at the same time (of course this could just be because we're all way too predictable).
Obviously this was too bizarre for @mlleginger and so the only way to deal with it .... a FIERCE FACE OFF of course!!
So we learned a quick combo, turned to face each other and tried to fierce each other out.
This had some rather interesting consequences with @katymillslondon and @Carleebanks going up against each other, which produced a lot of pointing and dramatics but nothing compared to @mlleginger vs. @trixiecantswim. That got dangerous with a serious amount of ducking and diving going on. Gotta be a good thing though as a certain Ginger person came very close to having a nose that matched her hair!!!
However, had this happened, it would have been painful - but perhaps not as much as it would in a stone cold sober situation.
You see, during Thursday night madness the laughter can reach such a volume it is almost louder than the music and whilst, at first glance, you might think this a completely irrelevant thing to point out, you'd be wrong:
Dr. Bellace, author of "A better high" explains that when you find something funny, the reward centre in your brain is activated (the same part of the brain that is activated by drug/alcohol-induced highs), making it release dopamine and inducing a sense of euphoria. This makes you want to continue with that behaviour and, so if you do, your brain rewards you with:
1. Improved immune functioning
2. Stress relief
3. Increased tolerance for pain
4. Improved cardiovascular health
5. Reduced anxiety
6. Improved mood.
Now if that's not a convincing argument to come and join class, I don't know what is!!
