My hip-hop class had a recital today. I was nervous before but grew relaxed while sitting and watching the other classes...bhangra one and two, carribbean one, flamenco one, etc.

I got to meet the other two hip hop classes, the ones that meet on Monday nights. And, as Boogie likes to do, she added in stuff at the end. "Y'all are gonna be dancing to Fela!" she announced as we took the stage, even though we had been practicing to Missy.

Jamilla stood in front of me and when she spun, her dreads flew up, revealing the price tags still attached to her green jersey so it could be returned after the show. That's keeping it real.
