Broadway Baby

Last night my friend Tony, who is an actor/singer/dancer/crazy-talented person, rented out a dance studio and taught a class for his friends. For free. Just for fun.

Tons and tons of people showed up, because... How often do you get to take dance lessons from an entertainment professional? Never. (Unless you live in New York and know amazing people.)

Tony has toured the country... correction, the world... with various productions. So last night he taught us a dance from this year's Tony award winner for Best Musical, "In The Heights." It was a sort of Broadway/Hip Hop combination. We danced for an hour and a half, with Tony patiently walking us non-professionals through the steps and then giving us pointers on acting and not just dancing. We had SO much fun. And here are a few things I learned:

1) Oh that's right! I LOVE dancing.
2) Holy cow, it's so much harder than it looks.
3) I love my friends for being willing to get out there and try this, even if we weren't not exactly ready for the spotlight.

... But maybe someday. ;)
