So I've been super bad at keeping this blog updated....

That research I did on Morocco is still waiting for final proof and I have not even started looking at Algeria and Tunisia.

I would love to be able to say, I have been super busy with preparations for Purple Belly Bus (which happened this past weekend) and Theatrical Oriental Dance Festival (which happened two weeks ago). Mostly I've just been super lazy (that is when I'm not working in the studio) to do any form of admin, or writing.

I am having withdrawal symptoms, I loved dancing 6 to 8hours a day. It was gruelling and fun and it stretched my dance ability and shaped it. I'm so excited to see where all this new "stuff" is going to take me.

I sort of feel like Dorothy, starting off in my red shoes on the yellow brick road...
Only it's not a wizard I'm looking forward to but my own potential, my own growth.

Yes, I've probably said it a thousand times, but it's the one aspect of the dance that I love so much. There is always something more to learn, the dance form itself is always growing changing and adapting.
