OMFG! *claps hands* (blog entry) I'm excited because I think I finally figured out how to spin correctly.

The concept of a transparent deck fascinates me, however, I must admit that I think there's so much that ... read more

When I get all steamed up, then I shout:

I noticed when watching a fusion troupe dancing (YouTube, from TF9), that the group was good, but that there were definite synchronicity problems. not just because there were slight expression/interpretation differences, but also because those differences were exacerbated by the difference in body type. Two of the troupe members had about a medium torso length but long arms and legs, while the other person was shorter in stature, with shorter limbs, and a longer torso, in contrast to her ... read more
