Viewer Discretion Advised... Dancers Anonymous Style :)

So while our title may raise a few eyebrows, I must first apologize for getting so behind on the blogs. The classes have been taking up a lot of time, along with taking care of my mom. Classes however, have been going really great and this class, was no different. Well... it was different in a way! This class might be a little questionable for some, but while we did not have a full class, our students came with their curiosity in tact.

Desiree Clark has been one of my students for years. We went to high school together, and I was blessed when she came to take classes at Dancer Anonymous when she had time. I was even more excited when she wanted to teach! Desiree came up with a class called Street Tease, which is a phenomenon starting up all over the place. It was kind of awkward at first to start learning for a couple students, but they quickly warmed up to the choreography, the music, and allowing themselves to just open up to something new. Desiree was a great teacher for just that! She did a great job keeping the students comfortable and making sure they really got into the movements. We really enjoyed having her teach, and hopefully we can have her do it again in the future!

So, just as a fair warning... the moves are suggestive, so if that kind of thing bothers you, just don't watch the video at the end! HA! We had a great time, and the dance really isn't that provocative! Actually, I thought it was quite tasteful! It was a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again.

So without further ado... should we introduce you to Desiree? I think so...

Desiree has been dancing for 5 years, and it started when she danced with the LCHS Performing Dance team, mainly for her interest in Jazz/Broadway. Not only does she love dancing, but she sings as well, which makes her the perfect candidate for being on Broadway! "My dancing is less technique and more about expression and performance, which is why Broadway is my forte." While she is quite the Broadway extraordinaire, she decided to teach something a little different in class. "I came across street tease on the internet and fell in love with it. That's why I decided to bring the style to Dancers Anonymous!"

We're definitely glad she did bring it to class, because it challenged our students and gave us something new to explore! Tons of fun and we can't wait to have her back!
