Dancers Among Us →
One of the best and most original dance photography collections I’ve seen in a while…each photo has personality and tells a story (normally an homage to some part of life in the city they were taken in). I could get lost in this for hours…

My Dance Inspiration board on Pinterest →
Trying not to photo spam this blog (and my others, for that matter) sort of directed me to begin to use Pinterest for different things. Check out my Dance Inspiration board.
I also have a Classy Belly Dance Photos Board, although as of right now it is not very well curated yet :)

Okay, so I have my first totally solo belly dance gig on Thursday night.
And of course I sort of procrastinated and am now freaking out. I can’t get my brand new costume to really fit me in time and trying to alter it myself has been like a comedy of errors. Plus, I have not finished my choreography although I did get permission to use 2 numbers from the dance company I’m in, so...

I’ve been awful about updating lately. I’m so ridiculously busy with work and everything that I have little to no time to dance, let alone write about it. I do have some ruminations that I need to post here but they will have to come as soon as they can.
For now, here’s what I’ve been working on dance-wise lately:
Just finished a Middle Eastern folk dance show. Yes,...

The standards for dance education have deteriorated to a farce of pedagogy. Dancers are ill prepared for the realities of their craft coming out of BFA programs and dance studios. The educational system is failing dancers. They have a great curriculum on paper, however there is no bridging…

Been a bit without a real update of any sort and it’s basically because I’ve just been busy doing everything except dancing really, which bums me out.
Started dancing with a new bellydance/folk company for at least their next stage show, which is supposed to be in February, but they seem to really like me so maybe it will be for some gigs too.

One of my by-weekly habits is browsing Craigslist just on the off chance that an audition or some other cool opportunity is buried in the gigs section. Today I found this and I just wanted to re-post it because one of the first things I did in LA was an internship at a talent agency in their dance department. Now I did it at the time because I wanted to work in a talent agency (dance department...
