Feel The Beat

Sophie-Lyrical

Tuesday 7th February

Jade and I walk into dance express, with 20 minutes untill class. We sit on the armchairs and talk for a bit. I look at the time, theres 10  minutes untill class, but no one else is here yet. There is what looks like a ballet class going on in the studio. When my phone says the time is 6:40 and our class is meant to ave started i take another look at the studio. 'It cant be ballet!' i say to jade, 'look, they havet gpot shoes on'. We stsrt to think that the lyrical class started earlire than this, because it looks like they are in here now. 'Maybe we shuld go in and ask?' i say to jade, but jade doesnt want to go in. 5 minutes later i decide it go in. i walk into the studio and the lyrical class. I stand at the side, and as the girls are doing the combination the teacher called Jasmin comes over to me. I tell her that we are here for the lyrical class and we thought it started at 5:40. 'It started at 5:20 she tells me, I didn't even hear you come in! You can come and join us now' I go and get jade and Jasmin introduces us. She tells us to just follow along the back, and that they learnt the combination last week, that's why they all know it. We go over it a couple of times, and I can catch onto the feet, but not the arms. We then move onto a different combination, one that we have done in jazz. Jasmin asks me and jade if we would like to watch, so I say yes as well because I don't want her to be alone. I instantly regret it as I watch the others doing turning pardoboraes and pirouettes. We join in when they do leaps, and I do well on those because it's something I already know. We then see Jasmin at the end and she tells us the right time and that we can come again next week and try for free. We then walk down the stairs and out into the rain!
