Final filming of the day, and with Gandalf winding up Body Jam by being 'At Peace', it set the tone for Balance quite nicely. Once the flowers were placed on the stage, and the candles were lit...

...I buggered off downstairs to take a shower.
(Sorry!)
I missed the beginning of the filming, and I'm not a regular Balance participant so I can't really give any unique feedback on this release - and when I asked every Balance participant What They Thought, all they said was, "It was AMAZING". So all I can tell you is that Body Balance 48, according to people who actually do Balance, is amazing!
The presenting team for this release are Corey, Dr Dave, Jackie and Christelle - when Missy and I were talking to Dr Dave after class, we commented on the clothing that the team were wearing and how they all looked great and Dr Dave spluttered and said, "Oh yes, we all look fantastic in our puke green SACKS". Ahahahaha, someone was clearly a... 'fan', of the clothing :-D I thought they all looked great, though Dr Dave did tell us that he had been sick and had lost a lot of muscle weight leading up to the filming and the clothes were too big for him (hence the 'sack'). There was a lot of illness in the filming teams this year - Mark Nu'u said at one point that the Step presenting team were 75% flu ridden, poor things.
I always find that the filming bloopers in Balance a bit more unusual than any of the other filmings. The rest of the filmings, as soon as a mistake as made and the music cuts, everyone groans, or cracks up laughing. In Balance, everyone is so At Peace, that they kinda just look at each other questioningly if they even notice that a mistake was made.
There was one blooper that did make the Balance participants giggle though, since it was transitioning between tracks, and the sound wasn't right and the trap ended up sk-sk-sk-sk-sk-sk-sk-skipping at the beginning of it as the sound crew rushed to get it into the right place. The Balance instructors all had a rather irritated expression when they came out of their pose and were preparing to transition, which made everyone on the floor laugh. It was a nice little moment; refreshing for a Balance filming.
Again, I'm really sorry that I can't offer more - even if I were able to tell you about which tracks were in the release, I honestly can't remember any tracks that were in there.
But again, *every* Balance participant I spoke to said it was an amazing release.
Next up...

I didn't remember you had these other blogs, until today!
It's all right, I've been forgetting myself. Sad fact of life when blogging gets taken away from you :-(
