Day 73 - December 18th 2013 (By Elina Ayako)
Hello there blog reader!
Elina here to update you on what's been happening today at The Hip Drop studio!
First up was our regular Warm Up Program - blood, sweat & tears are paying off because there is a slight mark of a sixpack on my once oh-so wobbly tummy?
OH YEAH!
Afterwards we had 90 minutes to accomplish the assignment we got for Sara Gaardbo.
To the amusement of Mantas & Elin, it was involving Floor Barre.
It was actually only about Floor Barre.
Our task was to chose our favourite exercises we did with Sara & combine them to make a 30 minute program.
After some intensive thinking/exercising/writing time, we had a pretty decent product & Lin was happy about it!
In the lunch break we had one of our usual chats with Lin but this time, it considered a rather sad subject.
Lin is a member of PETA the animal organisation, and she talked about how most of the Angora we buy is a product of animal torture. The Angora rabbits are getting skinned while they are still alive, which makes them go through incredible pain.

We spent the whole afternoon with the lovely Sofia.
The first lesson we finished examining the "naked" 1YEPers whilst walking on the cat walk (sound way weirder than it actually was) to find out what body postures every single one of us has.
Then she gave us personal excercises to work on correcting our "bad" postures.
To finish off the day, we had a nice 30 minute yoga session with mostly stretching.. NO, NOT TRUE!! Sofia was in the mood to torture, so she decided to do 100 Sun-salutations followed by 100 other yoga & pilates killers.
But it felt awesome when we made it through her class.
It's for the best!
I know :-/

Day 74 - December 19th 2013 (By Anton Swerkström)
Tja kära blogreaders!
This first semester at the Hip Drop Education is running towards its end. Its sad in one way but looking back at everything we have been through it feels like we have been here for a year already. So many classes, teachers and incredible moments that I wont soon forget!
This week we have kinda slowed down our pace a little after an intense couple of weeks (But we still do our 1 hour Warm Up/WorkOut program every morning!)
So today we had some extra stretching and then we sat down for evaluation of this first part of our journey.
We have actually had a lot of these talks lately, both during school and when we hang out after school as well so we have kinda went through it all. My favorite talk was when everyone got to tell their favorite moment of the semester. Everyones first reaction after hearing the question was almost panic since there is so much to chose from but to hear everyone tell what they liked the best and why was really cool :-)
To finish of the day the awesome directors of the program, Lin and K, treated us to the movies. We went to see the second Hunger Games film. A good movie and I definitely recommend you to watch it, maybe make sure to watch the first one too though :-)
But the best part of this was just hanging out with the whole gang and have a good time.
Tonight we are all going to the Malmoe Shore house to spend our last evening together before people are heading home.
Looking forward to it! Not people going home but the spending time together part :-)
I wont be going anywhere though, I will stay put and look after Mantas who is the only one who wont be going home. Hopefully we will do some danceprojects while waiting for next semester so stay tuned for that.
Thats it for me, I wish you guys a Merry Christmas and I will be back again in 2014!
