Remember the movie Groove? It’s basically about one night at an underground SF rave. I loved it. It had dancing, Digweed, and it just seemed to capture alot of the joys and ridiculousness of raves. I didn’t go to raves. Sadly I wasn’t hooked up into that culture. However, I danced in clubs ALOT in… Continue reading
If you’re like most people who work with a large number of people, you work in a cubicle. Or you’re gonna work in a cubicle, you just don’t know it yet. Everyone says that working in an open space is great because you get to work together and the chance for spontaneous business conversations increases 10-fold…. Continue reading
If you’ve taken class with me you know sometime near the end of class I set up a little tripod and I shoot us dancing. Most teachers are cool with it, but of course always ask before you do it. Your teacher is right to be protective of their intellectual property. Respect their wishes. If… Continue reading

I’m quite a bit older than your average tween so bear with me. I actually have solid reasons why you should take selfies at least once a day. I’ve been taking selfies for 8 years so I’ve had a lot of time to think about this.
A few weekends ago I took a spectacular trinity of classes at City Dance. Amber, Rocko, and Emerson. 4.5 hours of dance in one weekend. I was on an endorphin high that whole weekend…then Monday hit and my body was like …NOPE. You shouldn’t have done that. Iced my knees. Didn’t dance at all. Just… Continue reading
I did not grow up rich. So if you told the 15 year old me (pictured below) that I’d be spending $98 on stretchy pants from Lucy I’d say you’re INSANE. My BFF Helen and I would spend hours at thrift stores trying to find the perfect black velvet dress that was under $20. The… Continue reading
