everybody dance now!

Guess what? Emily Ogden is an officially documented member of the University of Wollongong Dance Club! Does that sound right? Yes, yes it does. I happily paid $20 to go to as many dance classes I possibly can throughout the week.

Students teach the dance club, and they offer a bunch of different classes at random times and you can go to whichever ones fit into your schedule. Since I have a lot of dead time between classes and don’t have enough time to head back to my dorms – this seemed like the perfect antidote to my boredom. I went to…should I list them…ok, you convinced me, I will…ballroom, contemporary, hip hop, funk, and modern expressive! Tomorrow my friend and I are going to salsa! No matter what the interesting name of the class is – they were all pretty similar. The idea is to learn a dance by the end of session and then perform it, if ya want. I really, really enjoyed myself, and it kept me busy and moving! I’ve converted several of my friends from “I don’t dance” to… “I guess I’ll check it out…” to “when’s the next class?” I’ll probably perform a solo recital for everyone once I get back to the states…just joking!
