The World of Competitive Dance
The World of Competitive Dance At a dance competition this weekend I was able to observe hundreds of talented young dancers bringing their heart and soul to the stage, all in the name of dance. After 25 years of being in the dance world, I am ready to just kick back and watch the show. I don’t have to choreograph, plan, buy, deal, negotiate, or be anywhere at 7:00 am until midnight.

Life and writing – beautiful metaphors.
Life and writing – beautiful metaphors. I wholeheartedly enjoy the ability to write and create my own materials in any situation I find myself in.
