Hello patrons!
For your special treat this week, watch me dance along to an online ballet class taught by former Dance Theater of Harlem principal ballerina Enadlyn Taylor.
This is probably the closest you'll ever get to being able to watch me as I take class. Part of my ongoing efforts to give you a fly-on-the-wall experience into l...

Hello, friends!
A whole 4 days, without any new posts! I am grumpy about it, although to apologize after two months of daily posts seems an excessive mea culpa.
But it's happened--the Pandemic Blues have gotten to me badly enough that motivation is in scarce supply. It appears that an enormous part of my mental health is (a)...

If you ever had any doubt or lack of understanding of exactly how much I love ballet...
I received some very good advice from a friend/ex-client that what is most fascinating about me/ballet is the smaller gestures, the facial expressions. This is my attempt to capture that.
Enjoy!
Fondly,

This wicked awesome video is brought to by a wonderful human who recorded herself playing an accordion song so I could dance to it. (Hence apologies for the little technical sound wobbles.)
Oh! I could dance to it all day.
I think it's a polka. An Italian folk song, apparently.

This is a very special burlesque.
A sort of potential post-madness-career-launching burlesque.
You see, I met this friend. (She's a sex worker too, of course.)
Well, long story short, this fabulous Australian New Orleans jazz musician and I might have a very bright future together...

Enjoy!

Some extremely primal shit coming out here. I'm loving how pointe is getting integrated into my improvisation. Usually, it's such a specific idiom that it's hard to be completely free, but I'm getting there. The shoes elongate me, they do not hold me back.

I think one of the beautiful things about this time is that things are slower, and simpler.
But you have to let them be simple.
There is this beautiful quiet moment, when one does.

I have been alerted to the fact–rather gracelessly–that my last post makes me sound like a selfish asshole.
I am not writing this so she forgives me for my selfishness, but rather because I agree that there are things I wrote that may misrepresent the gravity of transmission and de-emphasize how hard each of us individually must try to...
