I’d like to introduce you to …

“ROTATION” , a part of Splinter Dance Company’s outreach program.

Rotation is a teaching collective for dance educators from ANY dance background.  It’s simple. Teach one class for free and take class for free from all the other teachers in the loop. Classes can be anywhere in the Seattle area. We’ve already had modern dance, Bollywood, Tahitian, Hip Hop and Ballet.  The program provides a wonderful opportunity to try out new classes, hone your teaching skills and keep in shape with other teaching peers. Classes are ongoing and occur weekly, or bi-weekly.  Registration is easy, and we would love to have you!

In other teaching news…

I’ve been asked to teach some ballet/modern hybrid classes at a local studio here in Seattle.  I teach Ballet, Jazz and Modern styles from beginner to professional level.  I’ve been teaching in the “Rotation” collective,  and for Splinter’s company class.  With my life being so hectic,  I haven’t taught in this setting for awhile, and I need to gather some students who are hungry to move!  No matter what level you are,  I would love to hear some input on what would get you to come take class with me.  I will formulate my class around the wants and needs of my wonderful new students!  Send me an email or comment below.

Sometimes I name blogs after the first thing I see when I start writing them.

I JUST looked out the window again and saw ANOTHER MULLET. Please, please stop.  OW. My eyes.

This Memorial day has a bright dusty feel to it.  Seattle always has a dampness in the air, but today its exceedingly bright, dry and granular. There are people around, but nothing is happening. The cafe has just me, and two girls at the bar. I expect to see tumbleweeds blow by any minute. Maybe that guy across the street in the tight hipster pants and cowboy boots will have a gun duel with the greaser smoking ciggys next to him. Could happen. It would be way more fun then watching them loiter in front of the Value Village. (more…)

I just did some new photos with Fabio Governato, hes a wonderful friend, photographer and astrophysicist.  He was kind enough to take some pictures to help me update my etsy.  Behold, the ruffle legs!

Hello Darlings,  

               I just wanted to remind you that in two weeks Abney Park will be playing in Seattle again. You won’t see us here again until the SteamCon in October.  There will be vendors! There will be mayhem! There will be Legion Within! Aaaaaand Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society! Annnnnnd  Absinte!  Dress yo ass up and come play nice.               

About a month ago.. a bunch of crazy kids got together in a loft in Pioneer Square with some tofu, brussel sprouts, artichokes and other assorted foodstuffs.  We posed for Libby with no discretion whatsoever. OH THE SCANDAL! With the green backdrop somewhat messied, food porn was created. Come in hungry for the “Peep” show this Thursday May 7th for Downtown Seattle’s Art Walk.
