Love this! Learning dance isn't a straight path! Sometimes you have to retrace or start a different path to get to where you want to go. Enjoy the journey as there is no end destination, just another mountain to explore.

I wish I could find the post again on Instagram to give credit, but this comment stood out to me:

"The people we put on stage shape the community we create."

I would love to connect with more dancers who want to collaborate and have deeper discussions on topics like:

-How do we raise awareness for ongoing humanitarian aid and needs
-How do we create spaces where source dancers and communities feel safe and welcomed and performances represent cultures well vs feeling left out or misrepresented?
-Should we create a code of ethics again like the unions used to have for performers?
-When does too much colonization and orientalism become harmful in community spaces?
-How do we better prepare group choreography not routed in as much westernized asthetics/how do we attract more dancers to folkloric/traditional styles?
-How do we market ethically and support teachers and hosts still out there?

I've tried to have these conversations on Facebook but there are too many who see it as personal attacks vs conversation. I think this may take a certain subset of dancers who are ready and want to talk together, maybe a zoom coffee?

Taking a step back has been such a lovely thing. The greatest gift is having capacity to spend more time with my dance mentors, musicians and friends outside of the rush.

It's a great reminder that those who still want to spend time when you are not in a moment of giving are true gifts. There are still people in this space here for the love of music and dance. Nothing can replace that.

A lot of people come to dance searching for something. We tend to be guides on fulfillment or personal enrichment, building confidence, starting the party, etc. Sometimes we also need to not pour into others and keep some of that into our own bucket.

May your buckets be full of the good stuff.

You are human.

Humans feel.

Our bodies break down.

When life puts up a roadblock as big as the Aswan Dam, allow yourself to turn it all off and remember why you love to dance.

The music.
The people.
The feeling.

As I remind myself the same right now, here's a reminder for you too.

We got this. We will be back. Water always flows.

Instead of asking yourself what moves or props should you do tonight, ask yourself, "what feeling do I want the to leave the audience with tonight?"

I once got in trouble at a local restaurant after getting $700 in tips.

A group of Greek women were having a great time at the bar. The moment they started clapping a certain way I knew it was time for Zeibekiko (Ζεϊμπέκικο).

They immediately got up with me and started dancing. I'm on my knees clapping for them and all the tables with Hellenic roots joined in.

People were having a blast. Ladies thanked me up and down for making their night.

The next day the house dancer got a text message from owners to tell me to never do that again: "It's a men's dance."

Never danced at that venue again.
