What a day!

Thank you everyone who came out to the workshops this weekend! Thank you Sister Kate for a fabulous set of classes for us girls! Thank you Mark, Michael & Léo (from what i hear) for a great day of classes for the boys!

I really enjoyed having classes that focused on moving as a woman and only having girls in the class.

GREAT work everyone who performed in the evening! I had a great time with the Singin' in the Rain routine & I really liked seeing all the boys rocking out. Saturday night was a blast - great music, entertaining performances, fun dancing & exciting energy. Thank you to Darren & Jungle Swing for letting me put together the performances & giving everyone a venue to perform & dance.

Holding and taking workshops with out of town dancers is inspiring in many different ways. As dancers we are pushed to do something different or new. As an organizer it makes me think of what strengths and weaknesses we have as a dance scene. It also inspires me to hold events that will inspire veteran and new dancers to learn more about dance, be it different styles, different dances, the history, the music, moves, techniques or repertoire.

Drop me a line if you have any feedback about this weekend or any ideas about what will keep you dancing. Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming classes, workshops & Lindy Bout news.
