It's somehow been a whole year! I've had a really good, gratifying, and eye-opening year of dance. Commited to many performances, which resulted in regular practice due to deadlines, met many new and wonderful people, got to perform in the same shows with folks I really respect and admire. Whew. Completed 8 elements: Initiation and registered for Cultivation this spring. (Arrrr elements. I left my heart in Portland.) I
t's a good time to dust off the daily practice blog, as I am to practice 3 times a week for the 3 months preceding Cultivation. I'm also really glad I chronicled my practice late last year: turns are better, flutters are happening, belly rolls can always improve.
Here we go:
