I love it how dance bridges cultures of understanding. Last night, Taiwanese dance company, Cloudgate, poetically reminded us that slower movement and slower pacing requires and helps teach us control,inner strength, release of self...all for moments of visual clarity. So much to take in and apply to dance training and the use of technique for achieving freedom. Amidst the sea of golden rice husks, I couldn't help but think when is dance our practice of prayer? Save the date: Mondays at 8:05pm,starting April 7th, I'm bringing back AfroPeruvian dance . Join us as we use my favorite rhythms (Festejo,Lando and Zamacueca) to get fit, stretch and cross-train to improve "cuban motion." Open level-join us!

It was an eventful Fiestas Patrias at Seattle Center this weekend and happy to have shared some social dance tips with fitness-minded foks.(My favorite was waltzing with my 86 year old partner who stated she dances to stay fit...yeah!) At all stages of life where you have transition in your life-its always movement that keeps you going, keeps you pumped (literally) and allows you to remember there is beauty in our humanity. Give thanks that you can walk, run, leap, jump, turn, spin and dance!
