Right before I headed off to hip-hop class tonight one of my friends commented that I must be getting pretty good at hip-hop since I break curfew every Tuesday night and zip off to dance. (& you thought all I did was ski.) I replied, "oh no, not really, it's still hard and i just go jump around and look foolish." And then there were three newbies at class and a really small class (7) and I realized that despite only being in Anchorage half of the Tuesday nights over the past year I HAVE managed to get better at hip-hop. I had progressed beyond struggling with the choreography to being able to actually try to make it look interesting.

I was a bit worried that after graduating from college my learning progression would cease. I'm pleased to find that even without school I feel like I've continued to learn, maybe not at quite the same rate, but probably more effectively since I'm only learning things in which I'm really interested. It's reassuring to know that I can be a ski racer without letting growth in other areas stagnate!
