Wow an IPR escalator...
yup since IPR gets such frequent use the admins decided to install escalators and automated sliding doors.

Lynn knows that Evan's comment about bellydancing was in jest, but she gently advises him never to think or say such things, as there is a huge rift between "belly dancers" like Dolphina who advertise "belly dancing" as better and cheaper than toys, and in Lynn's opinion, actual belly dancing which is part of a much greater culture and would never degrade itself to being commercialised for material value. This could go into a 3-page-long soapbox article, but Lynn is tired and thus is better able to restrain herself. :)

Evan meant one of those teach yourself shows, where Lynn could dance around the stage. That reminds Evan is Lynn into the whole dancing thing on a competitive level?

Lynn is also quite tired, and before she heads off to bed she asks Marcus what he did today to tire him so.

Marcus greets Lynn and Evan. Marcus informs them that he went and saw "Spanglish" today, which he thought was a very cool movie. He would also like to say that he is completely in love with the Hispanic actress who plays Flore.

Ah! Lynn apologises and sends hugs to Evan - she saw the word "exotic" and instantly all her defensive alarms started going off. She will try and think things through more next time before acting :)

Lynn is somewhat competitive. She does not compete in all of the dance forms she is trained in, but does compete at State/National level in her areas of choice, and takes her training in general quite seriously. (which bellydancing is so good for, as it is entirely recreational!!! It's quite a shock to the system!) She has had a rather unusual dance education that has encompassed much dance theory, and can talk about the finer points of dance for hoouuurrrrsss.....

Then Evan asks if Lynn has ever met a certain Lauren McBride as she was in his class last year and competed at the State/National? level.

Hmm!

The name is certainly ringing a bell. Lynn did not compete much last year (HSC) so is a little out of it, but hmm... there are many Laurens...

Lynn asks what field Lauren competed in. If it's tap, then Lynn probably does know her, if not, then it'll probably be via recognising name on eisteddfod programme/friend of a friend of a friend of hers (which is close enough in the dance world :p)

Lauren is short, fair skinned and blonde with blue eyes and I think she does classical or contemporary ballet as she is qualified to teach Dance already.

Marcus loves dancing, and wishes that he had the spatial co-ordination to seriously study a classical form. He is, nonetheless, very happy to stick to classical singing.

Evan wished he could do either.........he'd love to do ballads or proffessional salsa

Without more specific information, Lynn can't really find a Lauren McBride anywhere, although Google can only do so much, and there are various levels and centres of competition :) Although generally, anyone who competes at state/national level works their butt off to some extent so Evan should definately be giving his friend Lauren a pat on the back next time he sees her.

Lynn warns that dancing can be over-rated. For example, Lynn's mother firmly believes that as a dancer, Lynn should be much better at parking the car. Why? "Because you're so used to judging how to use space correctly!!! Why are you so crooked?" Lynn also thinks that all dancers are completely nuts :D

Lynn asks if Evan has ever tried Salsa, and tells Marcus that he's really not that bad a dancer. :) But yes, classical singing rocks.

Evan has never tried the Salsa but it looks so enticing.....but he knows he'd be ridiculous on the dance floor.
Evan says that he was asking Lynn primarily because Lauren didn't re-enroll for HSC so he presumed she was focusing on her dancing and wanted to know how it was going...
Evan doesn't think dancers are all nuts - look at Lynn

Evan hasn't met Lynn yet :p

And Lynn strongly advises Evan to try the salsa first, and working at it for several months. Dance is merely expression, which we all have, but one must master first a medium with which to convey the expression - and that can be the more tricky part. :) But it is well worth at least trying! If nothing else, it will be fun :)

Evan just doesn't want to crash into any walls in the process...

Lynn says that crashing into walls is fun, even more so when you're doing pique turns down a very narrow hallway like the one in her house.... :D Also, being dropped from lifts is also highly amusing.

Lynn HAS to go to bed now though. "Goodnight all!"
