I’ve always been a pretty active person. Mostly dance, from being part of a Slavic Dance Ensemble as a teenager to being a principal dancer in a few regional musicals in my twenties. Even into my 30s and 40s I was still taking ballet, tap and jazz dance classes, up to four a week. By most accounts I would have been considered fit. Then I decided to add to my repertoire with a hip hop class. I must have been about 38 years old then. Why start hip hop at that stage in my life? First of all, I’m a big believer in that it’s never too late to try something new. My daughter was taking hip hop, it looked like a lot of fun, they were starting up adult hip hop classes at her studio and the instructor was someone I had wanted to work with for a long time. I was very excited for it! Then came the first class. I swear I felt like I was going to have a heart attack then and there. None of the classes I had ever taken had made me work this hard! At that moment I decided that if I was going to succeed in this class I needed to make a plan that would include some serious cardiorespiratory training.
