I'm Flying!

Yesterday Ben and I attended our first aerial dance class.  The Denver area is known for the aerials that are scattered throughout every performance.  Our instructors, Steve and Becky, are from the Mercury Cafe and teach our regular classes every week also.  This time they taught us four different aerials.  The first three weren't to difficult.  Simple lifts up and throws, not too bad.  the last one was the tough one.  It required Ben to pick me up and flip me over his arm backwards.  Sounds like fun huh?  It sure does look cool once you figure it out!  Today, Ben's doing all right, but I had a couple jarring landings, so I avoid steps and movement in general when possible.  It sure was worth it though.
