9/2/12 - Sexy, Free, and Single Day 3: Dancing at Night is Fun

Today I didn’t do too much dancing.  Grandma and I went to the mall at about 10:30ish and came back at about 2.  By the time I was done studying dinner was ready, and then I just chilled until grandma went to bed at 10.  I only danced for about 45 minutes.  Since it was late I didn’t want to do too much.

Tonight I went up to 2:58.  I had trouble after the first count of 8 (normally I don’t use counts when I learn things on my own but I really don’t know how to describe the move and it’s an obvious count of 8).  I absolutely hate a lot of arm movements without a lot of footwork.  It’s why Opera gave me so much trouble and why I still haven’t gotten Mr. Simple despite 2 attempts on 2 separate occasions, so I think that’s why I had trouble with this little part.  After doing it a few times I managed to get it.  Hopefully with more practice I can polish it.  Then the rest of what I did today I already kind of knew.   I’ve known the chorus just from watching the music video over and over again, and I worked on the ripple a little yesterday, which I already saw how easy it was.  I was really nervous about switching my feet on the first “Sexy, free, and single” because it looks complicated even though it’s so simple, but I managed to not trip myself like I thought I would.   It doesn’t feel as cool as I thought it would though.  Maybe it will with more practice and as I get more comfortable with it.

I pulled a muscle in my hip yesterday the second time I went down on the floor for the floor choreography.  It didn’t hurt much after that but it was bothering me today.  Hopefully it’ll get better soon.  And today during the first “Sexy, free, and single”, on my second run through of the whole dance, I hurt my ankle.  I don’t know exactly what happened but suddenly I felt pain.  I finished up to where I went up to then did another run through one last time.  It didn’t really hurt until I got to that part again, so I think it’ll be alright.  We’ll see how it is tomorrow.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to finish it up, including Eunhyuk’s little solo.  It doesn’t seem too bad so we’ll try it.  Grandma is going out tomorrow so hopefully I can squeeze in some time between studying for my community and math tests.
