  • Tokyo - Day 2

    Not much to say about today.

    I went to Noa dance academy today too but the studio in Meguro-ku (not the one in Ikebukuro like yesterday).

    Original plan was to go to Tatsuo's advanced class and then Hiro's beginner class.
    Looking at the schedule I though it would be good to do one more class earlier (which I'm planning from next week anyway) so that I would start with a beginner class. But I was too late so I just walk around in Shibuya and then Meguro.

    Tatsuo's class was a killer. It's been months since I've been to a house dance class and couldn't go further than the first few steps.
    Class starts with some stretching followed by 10 dolphins (10 each leg, of course). For those who don't know (most of you I guess). The dolphin is a house move where you kinda do a (waved) pushup but with but with one leg up.

    You can see Tatsuo, himself, doing it here.

    Followed by crossing the studio with what I'll describe a bouncing duck walking :p
    You can see what it is, here around 2:57

    Then the class began. First exercise was ok. Then we start the real routine. And I'm quickly lost (unlike most other students). Same move with lots of variation first then some easy stuffs and end with lots of power moves.
    That was an awesome class to get move to work on, ... but really difficult at the time as I was lost too quickly (unlike popping's advanced lesson which was OK most of the time, and I'm a house dancer not a popper).

    Second class was Umeno's beginner class (as Hiro seems to be in Russia or something). That was a lot more easy and perfect to work on style (though it was a bit too crowded and I was more focusing on not hitting someone or the wall instead of looking at myself in the mirror)
