Cera kicks Booty! I felt like I found my long lost sister when I met her. And she never ceases to make me smile whether on the stage, chatting over email, or laughing over coffee. A true artist, a true taurus, and a true powerhouse!!! Lov ya!

cera reminds me that it's okay to be myself. she lets me cry and she lets me laugh. she lets me dance in my own body and my own range of movement. and she makes me feel like i can do anything i try. she is encouraging, kind, and the best dance teacher i have encountered in life.
and she has a kittycat. and she loves janis joplin and weetzie bat as much as i do. whic makes her all the more awesome.

This is Me.

There is only one moment. if you have hesitated, you have already missed it.

sometimes i speak this other language.
and it is raw and primal and full of shrieks and growls. it is eloquent and strong and perfect. it is the only tongue that feels like home, again and again, that i can leave for weeks and slip into like the skin i forgot has always been my own. it is a language rich in vowels and consonants and in-betweens, foreign and strangely familiar, even to those who think they've never heard it before. it is a language without a word for apology, a life without regret. i am so grateful to have heard it, to have beckoned to it, to be able to speak it and teach it and revel in its peculiarity and laugh at it's quirks and sweat through its twists and turns.
it is the greatest gift this world has ever given me, and endebtedness is the fuel that drives passion toward its limits. i will spend the rest of my life saying this thank you.
there is so much laughter on this floor. and tears. and joy. and fear. and conquest. it is the richest life there is. and cruel. and merciful.

of what use is a life that does not make you bleed? that does not make you cry? that does not call you, again and again, into yourself; demanding that you set your ego aside and lay prostrate before all you do not know, and cannot yet do?
give me a life with a beat. a life that will use me up and spit me out, breathless, on the other side.

This is me Blogging...

So, like, for those of you who dont know, i like, own a dance studio and stuff?
it's pretty rad.
this is our winter schedule. you should come, you know. take class. it's not scary and it doesn't hurt too much.
...at first.
then you get all addicted to endorphins and dance bruises and laughing at yourself, and you're ours for life.

um. the first hit's free...

so, i'm the ONLY bellydancer who made it as a finalist in this years Voice of Dance Amazing Online Dance Contest. Not only that - I'm the only non-modern dance video!

If i win, I win a thousand dollars, which will go toward my studio in san francisco (www.shoeboxsf.com), home to several bellydance teachers and students.

PLEASE, take a sec to give me a "thumbs up" vote (it's the 'bellydance walk it out' video i posted here a couple months ago).

Thank you so much, ya'll!
