I've never tried them (mostly because I'm completely uncoordinated), though I've always wanted to take a class. I'm just sure I'd be the absolute worst student in any class, so I've avoided it. :-) Great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-59008468646347117882013-09-10T09:15:05.089-04:002013-09-10T09:15:05.089-04:00This one sounds interesting.
