REAL.

So.  It's Jersday AKA laundry day AKA uploading and editing videos day.


If only I could clock in in the morning to be this productive all day.  One day my return will come to me though... right?


A few things going through my mind...


1) Tomorrow I'm going to the TEDxToronto conference downtown.  I have no idea what to expect, and I like it.  I'm hoping whatever white noise I'm getting in my head about my life will find an answer somewhere within TEDx.  Please!


2) Would it be considered spreading myself too thin if I took on a jewelry making course?  It's always been a keen interest of mine.  It's kind of random though and probably not one of my top priorities (what are my priorities, anyway...)


3) I hate music theory with the burning passion of a thousand suicidal Spartans fighting in the blazing Sun.


4) Here are the videos I posted today.  One of them is from a while back, but I always liked the clip - not so much because I think we performed well but more because I like to think about how I felt when doing this dance (HAPPY).  The other one is a clip from yesterday's class.  I want to keep moving up.  I don't want to step on anybody's toes, but I am loving this progression.  Is the pie big enough for all of us to get a slice?  I think so.  I mean there should be.  Some of us are hungrier than others though.  This train of thought is starting to ramble off into terrible metaphors land.  Going to stop now.  Anyway, I am so thankful to have students that come to my class, I am super major appreciative of the friends that I have that support me in everything I do, I am fantastically aware of the amazing relationship I am in and will never ever ever take advantage of the life my parents gave me.

That's all!  Until the next one.

D.O.A.



I'm working hard and I'm glad to see I'm not alone!  These girls smasssshedddd yesterday in class.  It's not about the choreography, it's about the energy you bring.  Choreography you can clean up but personality is hard to teach...

Reminder

My passions orbit around the Arts. I am inspired by anything remotely creative. As a child I grew up as a disciplined musician, beginning piano at the age of 5 and picking up the violin shortly after. In university, I decided to leap at the opportunity of joining a dance club and discovered my latest and greatest love, dance. After convocation I went to NYC to train and the experience confirmed my love for creativity and surrounding myself with fellow artists. I've never known exactly what I wanted to do. I've never exactly tapped in to what I might be great at. I've only ever been sure of the fact that I want to find a way to share the positive experiences I've had with music, art, and dance with others in hopes that it will bring them as much light in life as it has done for me.

There's just too much.


Be stronger.  Be better.  Hit harder.  Hit softer.  Get loose.  Drop your head.  Fix your posture.  Let everything go.  Contain yourself.  Listen.  Don't let others influence you.  Stay pure.  Blend in.


I think I've used up my mental health days for 2011...


It's not an easy fucking road.
