Rec Fit dance instructor prepares for career by performing and teaching. Demi Lawrence Reporter Editor’s note: “On the clock” is a Ball State Daily News series profiling Ball State students and their on-campus jobs. If you have any suggestions as to who we should feature next, send an email to features@bsudailynews.com. Kamryn Tomlinson, The Daily News’ assistant features editor, and Taylor Smith, a Daily News reporter, are students in Immanuel Simon’s Rec Fit class. Every Monday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m., senior acting major and Rec Fit instructor Immanuel Simon flips on the ceiling fans in RC 212B and starts his cardio hip-hop class. Feet tip-tap across the wooden floor while songs like “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige and “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner
echo through the room. After 45 minutes of intense swaying, sassy hips and stark arm movements, nearly all eight students and Simon are shiny with sweat. As Simon leads the class through final stretches, he asks how their days were. Varied replies come from the circle of criss-crossed legs and panting chests — most students say, “Good,” but some say, “So-so.” Simon listens intently before offering his own comment. This particular day was tough, he said. He is tired, but this class is what motivates him and gives him strength. Then, he asks his students, “What are you guys scared of?” The dance room is silent for a few moments. The class is slower to respond to this question.
