Last Night - Brixton Plan B

So I went up to Brixton last night to see one our lecturers do some 'breaking'. I kinda knew what this was from your typical dance films like Step Up etc and watching Britains Got Talent once. I have always preferred contemporary dance but I have been starved of decent dance since I came to London because I am a bore and work TOO much!

I was invited in my class yesterday and seeing as I had no other plans and everyone seemed lovely I thought I would go, 'for the craic'. Met a girl from Newcastle, NI (Sheena) just down the road from Belfast. That pleased me muchly :) I of course came with everything including the kitchen sink as I had yet to go home after class finished and luckily there was a cloakroom (this may seem irrelevant but I always wonder if theres a cloakroom, I DETEST carrying my stuff!). When I deposited my things for a fee of £1 each I took the 'free hug' that was on offer and it was AMAZING! I am a hugger unashamedly!!!

On to the dancing, well it was kinda of going on as I got in about 10:30 with people warming up and busting a few moves! It was hard to get a place to see properly as their were SO many people there! My lecturer Mary and some other lecturer from the dance department where competing in the 2 0n 2 B boy breaking...I think LOL who knows. But it was amazing, the skills those guys have is just nuts!!! I was very impressed! Breaking is a crazy sport ( I say sport because its HEAVY like these guys are FIT!!)

Then there was 7 to Smoke (?) Waaking (??) which to me looked like Vogueing a little bit and I LOVED IT! Think I might take a class is this awesome!

Busted a few moves then decided I was busted so headed back to campus for my 9am start. Got home at 3:30am and prob to sleep after 4am! check out how I did in class here at my class blog: http://themarieanno.wordpress.com/

That is all...
