Congrats Angelica!


Just a little note to announce that one of my private students, Angelica Van Auken, won the UMMI talent competition this past weekend with the bellydance choreography we've been working on for the past several months! She didn't have a moment to let her hair down between competition categories, so she looked like an elegant Princess Grace with her hair swooped up and perfectly coifed as she shook out those shimmies!


Congrats, Angelica!!

September Adventures


This past September, Roo and I headed out East to visit family and friends. At a little over four months preggers, I was a bit worried about travel, but I quickly discovered it's no biggy.


I was also a bit worried about the workshops I had scheduled in Blacksburg, VA, and Charleston, NC. I wondered if I would still feel as awful as I was feeling at two and three months along. And I wondered if I would run out of energy while teaching a 2-hour workshop. I was elated to discover that all those odd aversions did fade away at about the four-month mark, and that I was still strong and agile enough to keep everyone in class engaged.


So in addition to enjoying time spent in York, Blacksburg, and Durham with friends and family... I had a fabulous time with students in both Fan Fusion workshops in Blacksburg and Charleston... even outlasting and outspinning some of my students ;) Go preggie bellydancers!


After the workshop in Charleston, Roo and I had an amazing meal at the High Cotton, a great stay at the Andrew Pinckney Inn, and contemplated our next visit to this enchanting region.
