Summertime...
Asharah
Well, not too easy. I've been busy working and traveling, not only in my new home city of Columbia, South Carolina, but also around the world! I'm on my way back home from an amazing weekend in Louisville, Kentucky, where I shared the stage with the legendary Show Devils, featuring the tattooed, horned man The Enigma and his partner in oddities Serana Rose. I also took a wonderful introduction to Silvestre dance technique with the ever-amazing Donna Mejia.
July will be a little slow on the traveling front, but it will go out with a bang in Atlanta, Georgia, when I and my dance partner, Natalie Brown, teach our first installment of our intensive, "The Devil in the Details". Then I head out west to Berkeley, California, for another week of hard work with Suhaila Salimpour at the Level III weeklong workshop... then... headlong into fall.
