Sam, you're just so great, you're G-R-E-A-T, like a giant pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni and cheese and zero calories, like a cute little fluffy puppy with oversized paws and scrunchy ears, or an old, much-cuddled teddy-bear with threadbare fur and one button eye missing.......
(Right, where are my brownie points??!)

Messing with my Blog
Right Mr and Mrs Remmer, I know you're responsible for hacking into my blog while I was skiing in Courchevel! I will get my revenge!!
Great to be back. I had another fabulous holiday skiing in France, and was extremely well looked after by the very lovely (but demanding) Roy from Supreme Ski School. He packed alot into our daily 2 hour lessons, so that by the end of the week I felt I'd learned absolutely loads. I still need hours and hours of practice though, so my family are busy booking up for next year!! I really can't recommend Supreme highly enough, the school is friendly and helpful, booking is easy and Roy was extremely professional and knowledgeable but also a good laugh - the lessons went very quickly!
So now it's back to work, with my fitness levels to sort out (I ate too much cheese and drank too much wine last week) and various performances to get out of the way. I'm training with Sam today, then teaching 2 hours this evening, doing office work and teaching Weds, out and about with Sam Thurs, and training Fri. At the weekend, I'll be helping paint the second studio.
This week, we'll be doing Freestyle in class - and for those of you who are working on a routine (Sam's told me!) you'll be completing those. It's harder than it looks isn't it?!
See you all in class

Ignoramus
While out at a restaurant with brand new friends last night, a fitness instructor from the Devonshire Health and Racquet club showed that bitchiness and ignorance are alive and well in Devon.
Knowing perfectly well what I do for a job (we've discussed it many times, her always with barely disguised dislike) she proceeded to shout very loudly in front of everyone 'Oh you're the lapdancer!'.
No, I said, I'm a pole dancing instructor. It's different.
'No it's not!' shouted the older woman, clearly very drunk and hell bent on showing herself up. 'It's the same thing, you're a lapdancer!'
We repeated this silly game for a few rounds, during which time my companions were saying 'cool, are you a lapdancer?'. I decided that, instead of punching the silly woman's lights out, I'd just laugh it all off. Luckily the rest of the party were intelligent and interesting people who weren't at all prejudiced or judgemental about my job and had heard of fitness pole dancing, so didn't think it was anything particularly new. In fact, they'd all heard of us at the Art of Dance and even read Sam's blog. They knew perfectly well that there is a difference between pole and lap dancing. So I had a great evening!
In the end, this stupid woman just showed herself up for what she really is - thick, ignorant and rude. Jealous too? I'm sure she is.
