Busy bee

Here I am, back after a crazy week in term of work...
As I am leaving for a 2 weeks vacation in 10 days, I have to finish MANY things and the rythm is quite hard... But at least, I know why I'm paid for and I don't get bored !!! lol. And when it is like this, I realize that time is flying by... It's been almost 6 months since I am here... ! To me, it feels like I arrived 2 months ago !

The thing is that I am busy with work but I am also busy with training.

As some of you know, a few years ago, I was dancing quite a lot. But because of my studies and mostly because I moved quite often since a few years, I did not dance (and train in general) so much in the past few years. No need to say that I was not in the best shape ever... Hum hum...
But now that I know that I am not moving so soon, I decided to find a good dance class. And actually I've been very lucky because in Stockholm, there is this fitness center called "SATS" that you can find almost anywhere in the city and where you can find really good classes. There are lots of different classes and among them, dance classes :) I am lucky because where I live (St Eriksplan), I have 3 centers that are maximum 15min walk.
So during the fall I tried a jazz class and I really loved it. So I went back a few times but at that time, I was quite busy with Swedish classes and people coming to visit me, so I was not going regularly.
But since the beginning of January I decided to go at least 3 or 4 hours a week. And I really should say that now, I don't even have to force myself to go, it is really a pleasure (even a need sometimes) and as soon as one class is over, I am craving for the next one ! But that is mainly because I have found a wonderful teacher :) She is very pedagog, her choreo are just... CRAZY, and she spreads such a good energy and atmosphere in the class. When you get out of it, you are exhausted but smiling ! Actually I think I am smiling during the whole class ! So thank you Åsa :)

If you want to see what it looks like, here is a video of Åsa at the Nike Convention in Stockholm, and the choreo is the one we are doing on the Street Dance class.

Basically, here is what my week looks like :
Monday : 30min of Core (where we work on abs and back mainly) and 1h of Street Dance
Wednesday : 1h of Body Balance (at 6.45 am !!!!)
Thursday : 1h of Jazz and 30min of Core.
And then I TRY to go one more time during the week-end or even during the week. But I said TRY ;) Which means... what it means lol. This is not always a success ;)

I am really happy because since Åsa has lots of "regular" students, there are people that I see almost everytime I go there, we recognize each other and now I feel a bit less lonely ! Because I should say that one thing I am really missing, is to share all those moments with some people who have the same passion and love for dance.

Well, now I guess now you understand why I am so busy !! :)
