Join an organisation (Assignment 4)

While in London we were asked to join an organization to bring ourselves closer to people while living here. So a few of the other girls in the program and I joined a dancing class. We would go and learn a few steps to a new dance every day. This let us be embodied with a new group of people but also in a situation where it was all about having fun and it being alright to laugh at each other. The instruction only lasted about thirty minutes and then we would have the instructor at the front of the class to lead us through a couple of songs so we would know when to use the steps. All in all, the class only lasted about an hour.
The first session was the cha cha. Lets just say some of the girls don't exactly know how to move their hips besides in a hula-hoop fashion. When we first arrived we were a little nervous and idly stood in the back, watching the instructor who was at the front of the class. The first couple of steps are always the easiest, usually that have something to do with side stepping and clapping. There were only four steps and when the instructor was done showing us, he would stand in the front of the class and we would follow his lead as he called out the numbers of the steps.
Our Second session was Mambo. The Mambo was sadly exactly like the cha cha and we all followed numbly until I couldn't help but just start dancing like a dork. I was throwing in turns and twists that didn't belong and had to do a few hip bumps with the other girls. Soon I was throwing everyone off but we all got a good laugh at it. This is when we met Carol. Her husband was explained to have two left feet and her son didn't fall far from the tree. She however, loved to dance so here she was.
Our third session was country. I thought this was going to be the most fun but it was a complete let down! Their idea of line dancing was appalling. However, we did have a teacher that was different then our usual. She was not as excited in any way shape or form to be there. We did a few side steps, a couple of cross steps and a boot-scootin boogie boot tap and just went around in a circle with the same motions. It was horrifying.
Our fourth session was my absolutely favorite, it was rock-n-roll time. I was thinking it was going to be Elvis Presley or something along those lines but what do they pull out? Grease Lightening! It was fabulous. I can now do the entire dance to that song and I am proud to say it. The best part though was the pelvic thrust pumping among all the older woman. They started out a bit reserved and then by the end of the class they were thrusting like no bodies business.
I had so much fun in this class and loved the smiles that it put on everyones faces.
