Learn to dance - the Phusia way.

 For most dancer's or wannabe dancers, the idea of cardio fitness or dance fitness is just short of stomach turning.  I'm not being a snob, I just want my mind to be challenged as well in class and some of the cardio dance out there is mind numbing.  If you have two left feet, then by all means, keep marching and "sashaying", but if you are ready for something more challenging - let's go for it. 

Yesterday I tried to convince you to give a dance class a try or, if you are still too shy, at least give the internet a try. Again, there are lots of videos out there on YouTube.  You could find an instructor you really like just by watching them and listening to their style of teaching.  I have some there too, and most are on my site as well.  Yesterday,  I taught you the chasse.  Today. We are going to put that into a dance.   This dance has chasses side to side and front and back.  It's a good one to really get the chasse down.

The whole routine is to, Christina Aguilera's "Keeps Gettin' Better".  If you don't have an iPod you should seriously consider getting one.  Listening to music, learning to count music is all a part of dancing and an important part of it.  Once you learn the steps in this routine, I will give you the full routine.  It's fun, not difficult and it will help you learn the chasse.  By the way, this could be considered mind numbing for the dancer's out there.  I apologize in advance.
