BLUE dance in Ogden

Tonight I started my one week trial membership at Blue adult dance studio in Ogden...and I LOVED it!!! I started off with Ariel Silks at 6 and there were these big silk fabrics that hung down from the ceiling and we learned how to climb up and do tricks on the silks. I didn't really know what to expect, but I didn't think I'd get much of a workout because everyone just took turns on two different sillks. BOY WAS I WRONG!! I climbed up the silks and did one trick and It was like I had just ran a marathon; I was sweating profusely and my entire body was hurting, including all the little joints in my fingers! It was such a fun class and my instructor was such a cute little lady and I can't wait until I reach the level she's at. Right after that class I jumped right into pilates. The pilates instructor had a very soft, calming voice and was playing calming music. I grabbed a mat and light weights and began working out with everyone and realized that if I kept this pace up, I would be in shape in no time!! Before I knew it, there was only 15 minutes left of the class and we started cooling down. The instructor told us when to take deep breaths and when to relax in certain positions and at the end of Pilates I was SOOO relaxed! I can't decide which one I liked better, Ariel Silks or Pilates. Last AND least was Chair Dancing. Now, I figured chair dancing would be something like lessons on how to give a nice lap dance but it wasn't exactly what I thought. We put our chairs next to stripper poles and the instructor started teaching us a dance routine. I couldn't really do any of the pole tricks because my hands were so sweaty so that kind of sucked, and the dance was a little difficult but overall I'd say it was an okay class. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 :) but I definitely liked the other ones better. I don't think i've worked out that hard since high school whe I was on the cheerleading squad and I really want to get into shape and take more of these fun classes so hopefully my cousin Cali will get a membership with me!
