Winter Update

Seasonal Blog Post!

So, what’s going on…

Successful first semester teaching dance at Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts and Texas Dance Conservatory!

I have been directing a FWAFA student dance company, Company II, and we had our first performance of the academic year in December 2015.

I performed and choreographed once again with imPULSE dance project, and our 2nd annual performance of Snow was reviewed by a respected DFW dance critic.

My coursework for my teacher’s certification is complete. Now I must complete my first year successfully, teach for my observer 2 more times, and pass my PPR exam.

Watching tv and talking about it with my brother on our podcast, First & Final.

Launching FurtherDance Fort Worth’s 2016 Winter Master Class Series (still going on, join us!) and our new program FurtherDance Fridays (weekly class for $10!!!).

Survived my first FWAFA Faculty Talent show!  Choreographed and performed, en pointe no less! Such a fun experience with my co-workers 🙂

And what’s coming up?

Take class with me!
I’m teaching Tuesdays midday at Smart Barre Bluebonnet and an express class on your Friday lunch breaks in February, and 6AM Fridays at Smart Barre Camp Bowie. And every Sunday in February I’m teaching adult intermediate ballet at Texas Ballet Theater School.

Dance with me!
Pretty much every Friday night I’ll be dancing with FurtherDance at Arlington Heights High School’s dance studio!  We have some master classes left in our series and in February we’ll start classes for just $10 taught be Fort Worth dance artists and educators.

See me dance and see my choreography!
All FWAFA dance companies (including the one I direct, Company II) are performing in the spring ballet, Napoli, April 29 and 30, 2016.

I will be performing with imPULSE dance project and choreographing a new work for our summer show in July. In addition, imPULSE will be performing works at a few local dance festivals and performances with local college dance programs.

I’ll be back here to update you in the Spring!
