Discussion Summary( a little late..ok..well super late...)

So tonite I was reading over the course blog and discussion summary and realized that I completely missed my discussion summary. So I am attempting to ask for forgiveness and doing a little summarizing up...
So in our class there really hasnt been that much discussion other than practicing for our amazing jamboree performance. We have met in the Louie's Lower Level and practiced our dancing. We have decided to teach the sexual advance ( not asexual reproduction....ahemm...my bad) and some other simple inside outside turns. We also learned how to do the pretzel which is kind of an exciting dance move. We talked about recruiting people to help us teach the dance moves and have decided that we will not be dressing up.... sad... I think that we have improved a lot. The band also practiced while we danced our hearts out. They started out with one tune and then switched to another. We decided to do a music show and have people pick out two songs and bring them to class. People are also in charge of promoting our dancing extravaganza. The little discussion we have had that doesn't revolve around the Jamboree pertains to the music lists that we have been listening to. We discussed the religious songs and how some of them sounded semi-familiar such as we may have heard a cover of the song....
So I am completely sorry that I missed my date by ummm a couple or maybe more days...weeks... But that's all I got for my discussion summary. We really haven't talked a lot, but danced and played our way to prepare ourselves for Jamboree!!

Swing Dancing Adventures

So approximately one week ago Dan and I decided to venture to Swing dancing club.. I was a little skeptic at first but I have to admit it was some crazy good times!! Maybe for me and not for Dan..we learned how to do some lifts..which hurt Dan cuz I kind of wasnt doin it right....sorry!! But i did get a big ol pretty bruise from Dan too! but it was really cool and we learned how to do the cool pretzel dance move.. I was more excited for te lifts but I was really scared too.. WE had to do a trust excercise and I was kind of a chicken....i guess i dont really know why cuz im not always that scared...teehee
So anyways I think everyone should go to swing dancing especially if you are in the 12 o clock class so we dont really all look retareded when we dont know how to dance since thats what we are doin for our jamboree performance....

so i have officially been a slacker on this blogging....sorry!!!
Indianiapolis was amazing if anybody cares..we got 5th in the nation...oh yah baby!
but n-e-ways.. talkin about class....
I listened to some of the listening lists and i thought it was cool how there was a summary or a little blurb about the song and the background..that made it interesting for me
The book has been quite interesting for me..and how the old country singers all kind of knew each other...
For the jamboree I think we really need to get serious about practicing...cuz we dont want to be retarded lookin swing dancers!! but i love the idea of swing dancing... and i know ur not supposed to start the beginning of a sentence with a preposition but o well...
