I had the pleasure of stopping by Balance Studios last night. Kari was there, but not teaching on this particular evening. Instead, the class that was being held was being led by Daria.
Daria's full story is unknown to me, but I could surmise the following from talking to her for five minutes or so prior to the class: she is a talented artist and photographer; she has spent copious amounts of time in Africa; she has taken the lessons of culture learned from these journeys and channeled them into a dance class.
That's right.
At Kari's open house, I was intrigued by the "African Dance" class that was listed in the Balance Studio schedule - certainly intrigued enough to make time to witness this unique form of dance by stopping by and taking some photos (Kari - you will get me into one of your Pilates classes sooner or later...).
What surprised me about this learning experience is that Daria uses the talent of local percussionists during her class. Having the drums there, having Daria's form in on display for inspiration... made me a bit jealous that I didn't have my workout clothes on!
And how can you argue with a cardio workout that requires NO SHOES?!
It was great fun to watch...
