Leaving Today

Yesterday's Contemporary Dance class showings at HPU went well! I am relieved that the semester is coming to a close, and I think most of the students are very satisfied with their work and learning. Though I thought both classes did well, I thought that my second section class really took their showing to another level. They practiced on their own, outside of class, they dressed appropriately, with black bottoms and solid colored tops (and I might add, coordinating with their composition groups!) and had great composure during the showing. I couldn't be happier. This summer, I will be preparing to teach the tap class coming up next semester...time to dust off the old shoes! And I'm kind of excited about it!

This afternoon, I will drive to Fayetteville to pick up Mackenzie from the airport. We will be in Fayetteville for the remainder of the week to perform as guest artists with a ballet school there. We will also be giving a workshop for high school students from public schools around the area. We will have a chance to perform "Words Apart" in its entirety, which is a nice thing, as we have only performed excerpts since it's October premiere. I will also be performing "I'm A Woman," which I only just completed recently. it is a short, fun piece that I think the audience will enjoy.

Well, it is time to pack my things. I have a few errands I need to run before leaving town for a few days. Next time, I'll be writing to you from Fayetteville!
