DAY 117 - March 11th 2014 (By Elin Karabuda)

Right now we are being educated on teaching. 

Last time we focused on Intermediate Level Classes. 

This time around it’s beginners (for students taking their first dance class)

Each one of us gets to teach one class.  

And guess who the students are? 

I can’t here you. Oh forget it… It’s us. 

We don’t even have to act ourselves as beginners. 

No no. 

This is our chance to be who ever we want to be. 

No boundaries what so ever. 

The enormous freedom paralyzed my imagination and I was stuck characterless. 

Anyhow, today it was Mantas and Anton’s time to work their magic. 

Both of them did a really good job, I would say. 

They started with a cute introtalk, where we got to know them a little bit and how they see HipHop. 

Then they broke down some basic steps and grooves. 

Later they went into a simple choreo.

Since Anton is teaching beginners on a regular basis he was working that class. 

He was very calm (in a good, none sleepy way) and he still filled the room with energy. 

Mantas did a heck of a job too. 

I like how he was able to somehow keep his style, even though the playground of moves had been drastically reduced. 

So if you two are reading this, here is a pat on the shoulder.

I’m out.
