Tonight I start my new Bellydance drills class. I've been nagged for years to do one of these, but to be honest I kind of like the artistic side of bellydance so much more than the drilling, so I tend to keep my drills for home practice and use the big halls to express myself. Anyhow this new hall has come along, and I needed to start a new beginners. Its not really worth leaving the house to just do one class, and I already do an intermediate, an advanced and a tribal in the area, so non of those would work. it felt like everything had fallen into place for a drill class.
Anyway one reason I didn't want to do drills was that I didn't think I knew that many - my Saturday class like them so we do about 1/5 of class time, maybe two a week, so I thought I had maybe a dozen filed away. Then I started shuffling things in excel so I could make up the lesson plans and found I have 80 - yes 80 !!!!! - 80 drill ideas already pre-planned.
this is what comes of keeping notes in excel of everything you ever think of - some of them are a bit the same as some others, but then thats no bad thing.....
I just need to see if I can do them myself ! - wish me luck
