I've been doing my hobby professionally for about 7 years now. This means that I get to do my hobby to its fullest but it also means doing the business part to its fullest. Keeping track of spreadsheets, notes, agendas, googledocs, DropBoxes, and of course...tons of meetings. I learned years ago that working in groups of 3 was a perfect balance, a great way to get a majority vote on anything, to even out people's various interests and skills. When it happens to be 3 friends, it's like a magical alchemical (woooooooo) combo of love, support, inspiration, challenge, motivation, and boundary enforcement of the most beautiful kind.

Jasmine Rain, Erika Ryn, and I have been performing together as Bridgetown Revue for about 5 years at this point. We produce shows, we create our own costumes, we teach classes, and we even choreograph -- even moreso lately, and it's been a delightful surprise to see it come together when, I think, each of us had our reservations (memorize stuff? rehearse twice a week *on top* of our meetings? who has time for that!?).
So in just over a week, we are SUPER SUPER excited to share with you a new choreography, new costumes, and A NEW WORKSHOP. A workshop dedicated to highlighting the skills and expertise and enthusiasm that all three of us have honed, as a group, and individually. This isn't just a dance workshop - it's a lecture on historical, mythical, and cultural background of movements, an exploration in our personal connections to the movement, and a lesson in how those movements occur in our bodies and our culture in the present moment... all culminating in a cute little combo you can take home with you!
I sure hope you'll enjoy this workshop as much as we've been enjoying putting it together, talking about it, creating outlines and shared googledocs, teaching it to each other, and wiggling our hips as we meet over walks to the drugstore....just three girls, two parasols, 6 cheeks and one more meeting left until ....
