I haven’t done a throwback Thursday in a while!

Maria Va, April 2012

This was such a special dance for so many reasons. Lots of endings and ready for new beginnings on the horizon. This dance was a prayer and an offering. It helped me close some doors. It was also a lot of fun to share the stage with my students.

I’m not sure where most of these SUNY Geneseo beauties are now, but maybe this post will find them!

Come see the new version of Maria Va! Re-staged on such a lovely cast of Brockport students for Danscore, Nov 20-22!

Annual Diwali post. I love this festival for so many reasons, and my love for Lakshmi is endless. May Ma’s light rain down abundance in all its forms on all of us. May the light in our collective hearts help us to overcome the darkness. Now more than ever. Happy Diwali and Jai Ma! 🪔✨

This feels post-worthy on the last day of summer. I grew sunflowers this year for the first time ever, and they are just so happy growing growing growing toward the sky as the leaves around them start to change!

So long summer, welcome fall!

And we’re back!

I have been mostly quiet about some big changes this past year. A major plot twist brought me back to SUNY Brockport last year, and I am loving being there more than words can express. 💚

Excited to teach the freshman, excited to nerd out in movement analysis, excited to re-stage a work I made 13 years ago, and excited to teach some students about teaching dance. 😊

I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year!

Another beautiful summer dancing with Bill Evans! I have been studying and dancing with Bill since 2006, and demonstrating for him since 2010. This year, I was honored beyond honored to teach the daily modern technique classes in his annual summer workshop for dance teachers. I believe so strongly in the transformative power of his technique, and it was pure joy for me to teach teachers this week!

I finally did it. I read my first book in almost three years. It took me that long after my daughter was born to find my way back to this routine. Postpartum struggles are so real, and it really does take time to find balance again after childbirth. I saw Memoirs of a Geisha in a little free library and on a whim was compelled to read it because I remember it being so popular. Such a beautiful story about destiny and acceptance.

“Whatever our struggles and triumphs, however we may suffer them, all too soon they bleed into a wash, just like watery ink on paper.”

Well, I guess I’m a little bit famous 🤷‍♀️

So excited and humbled to be featured in this month’s issue of CITY Magazine! If you know me well, you know that I don’t care about publicity, but the recognition feels really special, and some have told me is well deserved after 23 years in my field.

I love dance. I love yoga. I love being a somatic movement educator. I love supporting prenatal and postpartum clients. I love holistic wellness. I am lucky to have an organic farming husband who grows all the food we eat. I genuinely love and live all of these things, and it is a total honor to be featured in this wellness issue.

BIG thank you to Sydney Burrows for such a beautiful feature on me and my offerings in this community.

Thank you Allison, Molly, and Evan for saying such kind words. And to everyone who continues to spread the word about my classes, thank you.
