Weekend 1: For the love of dancing.

Yesterday, I had the extreme honor of teaching a class for Toxic Rhythm Urban Dance Crew. I was still a little sick so it was hard to teach but I still taught. EC assisted me. Despite my sickness, the class went so well. The other classes were amazing. There's so much talent in this community and it always surprises me.

I love taking class because it means training. It means connecting with other dancers. It means expressing myself in a way different from my own and thus widening my own ability to express myself.

Tomorrow we were supposed to have an Entropy workshop but the snow is moving it to next Friday. However, the snow hasn't stopped this Saturday's hip hop festival from happening. Entropy is hosting a festival about the culture of hip hop to bring the same kind of experience we had when we went to Chicago for the mL tour and attended a hip hop festival there. I'll be taking photographs the whole time. I'm super excited to document the whole experience!

Also, EC and I have started planning for ARTspo again. It's all trial and error; this time will be better than the last.

It's nice to just stop and think about all the things happening in our lives and really seeing why I should be grateful.

Right now, it's snowing. School's been closed since yesterday at noon and will reopen again at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning. So, I'll be going to work but the kid's workshop and the Entropy workshop will both be canceled. Unfortunately... But EC and I will probably still be able to go to the studio so I'm excited about that! I'm finally getting better both mentally and physically so I'm, obviously, able to dance better. With a clear mind and a healthy, young body, of course I am.
