Before last year I&#8217;d never take a hip-hop\/pop\/jazz class. Ever.   Crazy!  They are so fun.  I always loved the Zumba routines that were more hip-hop style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually pick one of Alchemy&#8217;s dance fitness classes, Werq or Hyped AF.  Like Zumba, they are 60 min of non-stop dancing, each song a basic pattern you learn as you go.  But these are hip-hop and jazz instead of latin dance-inspired.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This video is from a different class, Party Hip-Hop, where Ayla teaches a short choreographed routine.  While I prefer dance fitness classes, learning choreo can be fun too.  Today was the second time I&#8217;ve taken this class.  After reviewing the video I can see that I am still a stiff ballerina!  I thought I doing ok with the style, but man, I could really loosen up.  Chalk it up to my formal training and my arthritic joints!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saturday class choreo - tick tick boom\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xYa894ST66k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still my two favorite hobbies, branching into new forms.
