Theme for the week:Tease

I don't normally go to the gym on Wednesdays, but I had a free morning and felt energetic so I thought I'd check out the 9:30 step aerobics class. The teacher was running late, stuck in traffic, so I worked out on the machines for half an hour or so. I can lift a lot more weight than I could four months ago when I started going to my Monday/Friday legs/abs/body express classes.

The teacher finally showed up and started class. They must have forgotten to update the schedule because it wasn't 24Step, it was 24Tease, a class about doing strip tease dancing.

Oh! OK... This could be fun...

The class was small, only three students and the teacher. A lot of the moves were recognizable from real step classes, but with lots of extra hip swivels. Other moves I've only seen on late-night Cinemax.

It was too bad the class was held in a small boxy room with fluorescent lighting. The moves would have come much more naturally if they'd given us dim lighting, tables to dance on, and maybe an audience. And next time I'll wear something completely different!
