Watching Mario Robau tear it up with Sam Buckwalter live to Proud Mary! I'm in heaven.

Then Egypt for 10 days and Greece for a week! If you plan to be near Greece, check out their 1st Lindy Hop Fest, http://ping.fm/7oCdx

I will be @ NW Blues Recess, (maybe CRCS), EtB4, Harlem Hot Shots Workshop in Portland, Camp Jitterbug, & a Mario Robau Intensive in London.

I'm taking 6 weeks off from teaching to travel to dance, take classes, working on my dancing, & basically rejuvenate my dancing soul!

6 week Retirement Tour

I am taking 6 weeks off from teaching to travel around dancing at exchanges (NorthWest Blues Recess & maybe Come Rain Come Shine), taking classes at workshops (EtB4, Harlem Hot Shots Workshop in Portland, Camp Jitterbug, & a Mario Robau Intensive in London), having Dax kick my buttray online thru Rhythm Juice exercises, and basically rejuvenating my dancing soul!

a reminder of X for those who have taken my class on it http://ping.fm/6Tk9J

something to ponder: What if dancing weren't about having the perfect dance but rather... what if dancing were about getting to know someone? Getting to know what inspires them, how they hear the music, what are their quirks that make them who they are. Sharing with them what inspires you, how you hear the music, and what your quirks are that make you who you are. Then meshing those personalities together to create a unique conversation that only the two of you could create together. If we make dancing about getting to know someone, wouldn't that allow for every dance to be perfect in it's own way? (inspired thru conversations with Yvette Lee)
