Hi everyone--remember how a couple months ago I wrote this post about how I had spent a fun evening filming a music video? Well, said video is finished and I have the pleasure of showing it to you here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjELvCvpcb4 What do you think?! I think it's super cool. Particularly that shot of Jeff and [...]

Today’s Tidbit
What says more about my teaching style than anything else: When I made a joke last night about having forgotten my smackin' ruler for whipping people into ballroom shape, and not one person laughed. Because they thought I was serious. Let that be a lesson, boys and girls! Speaking of teaching, I'm doing a workshop series [...]
Reflections on the Wedding
It's been nearly five months since the Sven and I tied the proverbial knot, and it feels right to look back at and discuss the planning process. If you, dear reader, are getting married, let me know in comments how your planning is going and if you have any questions! Sven and I got engaged [...]
Freedom Swing 2016
Hello everyone, welcome back to the work week. If you live on the East Coast of the US, did you survive the storm? Speaking of the storm....

Rapid-Fire Book Reviews
Hi peeps. How've you been? Read anything fun lately? In the bookish parts of the interwebs I've seen many people picking goals for number of books read in 2016. My number is 50. I came realleh realleh close last year, and that was with that little wedding thing eating my life, so I'm fairly confident [...]
Video Review: AMESKA
YES. Ok so I'm really excited to talk about something here. Those of you who know me in real life or are a frequent reader-between-the-lines on this here blog will know that I have a brewing desire to combine ballroom and ballet into...something. You can, therefore, imagine my excitement when I discovered one of the [...]
Dance Goals 2016
(Clearly I don't know what a hiatus is.) It's that time of year again, where people name out all kind of things they want to accomplish in the calendar year. Historically I've ignored the 'resolution' thing, being a bit cynical about people claiming to be instigating drastic changes in their lives without thinking through the [...]
Brief Break
Hi everyone! I'm taking a blog hiatus this week on account of visiting my in-laws in Virginia. I'll be back to regular posting next week. Happy New Year!
