Just finished a summer dance intensive in Houston. The aesthetic of the student showings and the faculty concerts seems to stay true to the 'look' of dance in this region. There was a lot of linear shapes and a tremendous amount of whipping. Lots of vocabulary in a short amount of time. Don't get me wrong, the dancing was lovely; however, I do feel a bit out of place aesthetically. That could be exciting, though.

It was a good week of meeting new people and getting to know older friends. Although I am having some difficulty processing the changes in my body now that I'm pregnant, it was so good to have more energy this month. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time, I just finished my first trimester and classes start this week at ORU. We just had the second round of auditions and everything looks good. We're going to have a great start for the program - about 30 students.

Excellent.
