Lots of new faces in last week's class! Though it started with just two people, a friend I danced with in high school and one of my regulars, we decided to proceed with class anyway. To be honest, I teach so that I can dance myself just as much as I teach so that I can share my dance with you! Just as we were getting started a familiar belly dancer joined us followed shortly by an unfamiliar face. Though she had the time wrong for the solstice class that followed my class she ended up joining us as well!
It was really lovely as new people bring different energies, backgrounds and questions. I've scheduled a free class Saturday January 6th from 10-11:30 am, of course at Dancing Lotus Center, to encourage more new faces. What better way to start the new year than with a new experience for yourself?!
I hope you all enjoy this Holiday week. Though I had originally intended to have classes all December there will be no class Thursday December 27th! There is a yoga workshop going on in the space if you're interested. See you for some dancing in 2013.

On Track and Online
It's offical, I'm on the Dancing Lotus Center website! Check out my brief bio at http://dancinglotuscenter.com/about-us. Having the DLC as a host has been great. Their facility is so beautiful and welcoming in and of itself you can't help but to want to move and be joyous.
I feel as though I'm starting to find my groove with teaching. The more I get to work with different students I learn new things from them that then help to guide my classes. I love it when I have engaging students that as "why?" or "what?" They challenge me and these questions help to drive the class in a direction they want to go, even if it's not what I had planned.
In other exciting news I'm starting to work on a new piece. And by starting to work I mean it's in the very early, brain child stages. I have an outline of what it will be and some soundscore ideas I've shared with dear friend and musician Tyler Knapp. I'm not ready to share too much, but oddly enough I already have a title: Getting to Know Jerry.
