Re: Troupe advice NEEDED!!! Thank you!
(in teaching bellydance)
Not great, at first. A lot of bickering and disorganization, but that would have happened even if I had picked a new director. It didn't matter if I was happy with who was in charge, because I left. The remaining troupe members had to agree on ...

I completely agree with Inanna. Step back and let them handle it themselves. If they are grown-ups they will be able to come to a decision that they all can live with. If they're not... then all your unput won't change things. I moved away and...

Re: On elevating our art form... Thoughtful critique
(in Belly Dancing - the Shira.net Tribe)
I think that students (and audience members) frequently see the difference between a good performance and a bad one, even if that can't quite express it in words. My students and I were looking at a video of a performance that we had done at a sh...

Re: On elevating our art form... Thoughtful critique
(in Belly Dancing - the Shira.net Tribe)
I was in this situation. A very famous teacher performed at a show where I performed. My routine was early enough in the show, so I was able to sit in the audience and watch her entire performance. Afterwards everyone else was raving about her ...

Hang on. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
Cosmo, my creaky old cat, died last week at the age of 20. He survived the trip back to Alaska and seemed to enjoy his return to his old hunting grounds, even if it was only for a week. It's hard to believe that he's gone. That cat seemed indestructable!

Or almost back. Yup, we're moving back to Alaska. Jim has been pining for Alaska since we moved, so we are heading north on May 8th. While the employment opportunities have not been the greatest here, I have enjoyed living in the Southwest and will miss the area greatly. Obviously, I will miss all my friends more than I can ever express. Before we moved to Colorado we vacationed in the Southwest annually and I plan to be back. (Keep me posted on workshops and other dance events!) Hope ...

My oldest cat, Cosmo, has made it to another milestone. He turned 20 on Saturday, reaching the same age as his doppelganger Socks. Cosmo was my first cat and I had no idea what an unusual cat he is. He grew up with my sled dogs and is probably unaware of the fact that he actually is a cat and not a dog. Happy Birthday, Old Man!

I am ridiculously sad that Socks the former First Cat has died. Perhaps it's because he looked so much like my oldest cat Cosmo and because Cosmo is about to turn 20 (Socks was 20) and is in failing health. Socks was a very lucky cat, going from living as a stray to residing in the White House to spending his golden years with Clinton's former personal secretary, who cooked chicken for him. Cosmo was passed from home to home, until he wound up with me. While I never cooked him chicken, I...

On September 22nd we lost our last sled dog, Ivan. Ivan was the runt of his litter and the only male. Growing up with a pack of bigger and more dominant sisters had its effect on Ivan. He was two years old before he figured out that he could lift his leg to pee.

Ivan spent much of his life running alongside his sister Lucy. They were close in size and ran well together in wheel position. Sadly, Lucy died in 2005. In his retirement Ivan made friends with Granite and kept our new dog... read more
