Positive Moves

I was complaining to one of my #1 women, Bamra, about some classic bs when she told me all I needed were positive moves. "Woman, I am full of positive moves!" I insisted.

"No." She said, very seriously.  "Not until you've seen this:"



Ummm. Yes.

She half joked that anyone who wants to date us needs to get on board with the awesomeness that is this video. I'm gonna go ahead and say that in addition to Robyn's Call Your Girlfriend, I agree.

On A Roll

Trying to get support to produce my own choreographic work is a daunting task. For a year I applied for everything. It wasn't working out. I almost gave up.  And then my luck changed and the support came pouring in. Isn't that how it always happens? Yesterday I started rehearsals for my newest piece Londonderry, inspired by the historical figure Annie Londonderry and the role of bicycles in women's liberation. I am working with 3 brilliant dancers and I feel great about what we've been able to accomplish in our first two days. We're on a roll!

 Ha! Sorry, I had to.

Anyway. Aren't these bikes amazing? The ones with the big wheel are called Penny Farthings and my very own grandpa collects and RIDES them! I'm hoping I can use one or two as set pieces in the first production of the piece at the Dumbo Dance Festival on September 29th.

Step 4: REPEAT

How I'd Celebrate Gold

If I won a gold medal at the Olympics, I'd want my victory reaction to be a super epic combo of these:

                                      

And I would prefer if my competitors reactions looked like this:
