Earlier today I attended a tap dancing class. I used to do it when I was little and got back into it recently.

My favorite step is called a Maxie Ford turn, which is basically a specific type of turn where you step, shuffle, jump, step, while turning around. It’s not terribly hard in my opinion and I love doing a bunch in a row while traveling across the room.

This evening I was in an elevator with my roommate, going from the bottom floor to our room on the fifth. She asked what I did in the class. I told her about my love of Maxie Ford turns. She asked me to demonstrate.

I was stupid and decided to do so right then in the moving elevator. I also have severe motion sickness. I have never tried spinning around in a moving elevator prior to this point, and I do not intend on doing so again, because I now have no dinner left in my stomach and still feel dizzy.

TL;DR: Gave myself rapid motion sickness in an elevator by trying to show off my favorite tap dancing step.
