Leotards and Jazz Hands

I am still alive. Just to let you know - there have been no bladder explosions. So far. Tonight, I was supposed to go booty shaking. Starting a new class with my French colleague, however I forgot to take my PE kit to work - so wasn't able to. Bit miffed about that. But not as miffed as my French colleague was.

The truth is, I bullied her into the class anyway. She wanted to do the Jazz dance class on a Tuesday - or the Tap class on a Wednesday. But honestly - can you imagine it - me, the giant fat lass wobbling about in a pair of tap shoes? And if I'm honest with you, I don't have great balance. I'd be throwing my feet about, slipping all over the place - ending up arse over tit in a mess on the floor.

And I rejected Jazz because when I looked up Jazz dancing on the internet, this is what it showed me. And that does not look like something someone with poor balance should do. The problem is, now that I forced her into coming to the street dance class (which of course didn't happen due to my lack of PE kit and lack of desire to do it in my knickers and vest), now she has decided that this means I am obliged to go to one of the classes of her choice.

If forced, I could manage Tap, or even Jazz. Once. What's worrying me is that she's also mentioned that she rather likest the look of the "Ballet Stretch" class. Ballet = leotards. I simply cannot squeeze myself into a leotard and leggings. Oh god, the thought alone strikes fear in my heart.

Must find an escape plan.

A variation of this garment is the unitary that covers the legs. Trained men and women gymnasts regularly wear them in gymnastics practices and competitions. The leotards is an important part of a gymnast's gear that helps them compete professionally in national and international events.

leotards have undergone many changes in their style, color and pattern. The material used in the making of leotards is today more comfortable than used in earlier times. There are new and attractive designs of gymnastic leotards in various ranges and this allows a gymnast to experiment with various styles before finally settling on a leotard design that suits them best.
