Warmth

The weather here in California has become very spring-timey and nice, almost over night. It was still cool and dewey most of last week, and we're still hearing about the mudslide damage in San Francisco from the downpour of rain recently before that. When I walked in the dance studio last night it was warm. And since there were dancing bodies in there, it was slightly humid. Not too bad though, just barely enough to notice. The class size had to have been 23 or so which is a pretty big class for the space. Even compared to when I would dance in the summer with the 90°F temperature outside and fans blowing air on us as we dnced, I have never been dripping with sweat due to the first 10 minutes of warm up. Until last night. We breathe, stretch, and do push-ups and sit-ups/crunches to warm up before getting into "dance" warm up (tendues, plies etc.) and by the end of just warming up, I was wet. Last Tuesday it took the whole hour and 15 minutes to get as drippy as I was in the first 15 minutes. I don't think it was that K worked us out more than usual, but maybe with it being cooler previously we just weren't ready for the sauna that we were producing in the studio. The best feeling though is walking out of that place after class to feel the cold night air sucking the heat of our bodies. Mmmmm.
