A few weeks ago, my beloved dance studio threw its bi-annual Showcase, an afternoon of dance performances by students and teachers for our own pleasure and satisfaction after a lot of hard work and many lessons.
Puttin’ On the Ritz
That’s what we all need right here (wherever here is) and right now.
Let’s Dance
Why dance now, when we are all wrapped to a greater or lesser degree in gloom, even despair, with worse times ahead?
Part Time Dancer
I’m so carried away when I dance that I sing along with the music and hardly know or care where I’m putting my flying feet.
Dancing for the New Year
I’ll be dancing in the New Year—out with the old, in with the new, and hope springing eternal.
Flamenco: The I I Do Not Wish to Lose
The whole tragic history of Spain seemed contained in this music and these movements.
The Ruts Remain
Bells are ringing all over Santa Fe and the Plaza is blindingly bright with tree-strung lights…
Shoes
Shoes tell a story. Many stories.
We Dance
Walking back to my hotel through the nighttime madness and splendor of the city, I felt the hope that dancing always brings, the hope of not just enduring despair but leaping over it.
New Year’s Affirmation
My wish for all my loyal readers and for the world at large in this fresh new year.
