the first cut is the deepest

well actually not too bad... I'm referring of course to So You Think You Can Dance. I enjoyed Paris' dancing but I agree with the judges that she really didn't "bring it" as much as she could have on her solo.
As soon as Tony started dancing his solo I said, "bye bye Tony." It just wasn't impressive at all, considering the people that got cut before the top 20.

I knew the group routine was Shane Sparks before Cat announced it... had that very distinctive Shane hard hitting alternating with soft, organic blowing effects (sort of hard to describe now that I think about it!)

I've discovered more GREAT SYTYCD sources: Rickey.com and Let's Talk SYTYCD. Rickey will repost all the videos the day after... talk about instant gratification!

I have a feeling that Asuka and Jonathan will be next to go, of course, it totally depends on how they evolve in next weeks' routines. Can't wait to watch more!

Belly Dance Practice On The Go

Hey dancers - frustrated because your budget or time doesn't allow for belly dance class? Do you spend countless hours behind a computer desk wishing you could be practicing dance instead? Well good news, you can practice isolations just about anywhere! Sitting at your desk : 1. alternating glute squeezes. This is pretty easy to do without anyone noticing (so long as your face isn't making a weird expression. :) As you hopefully know, alternating squeezing each butt cheek is a great way to build up your shimmy strength (while also building muscle memory). First make sure you have the correct posture. Then focus the mind on right cheek, squeeze and then left. If you can only do it slowly that's just fine, it's still an effective exercise and eventually you'll easily speed up. For more info on glute squeezes see Shira's website . 2. pelvic tuck, glute squeeze (both together). Make sure your posture is correct. Sit toward the back of your chair wi...

lame lyrics

"so many things i want to tell you, everything i want to share, just gets blogged or tweeted even though those folks don't care. everything that makes me laugh or break out into a smile, fills me with a need to see you even just a little while." totally corny right? was just a random thought I had a week ago when missing my man. I dunno my biggest flaw as a musician is my inability to connect melodies I write to genuinely good lyrics. There's definitely an art to writing for songs versus writing poetry or stories. I think it baffles me most because what I consider great lyrics are so painfully simple, yet NOT if you get my point. I've been trying to pay attention to songs that really move me and pay close attention to the lyrics. The Cliks album Dirty King is a great example (it's not officially released yet but I bought a copy at their concert). Lucas' lyrics are powerful, yet just vague enough that they can be interpreted many ways and therefore h...

The Force is With You

I love it when my geekitude and spiritual study collide. Last Sunday our message from Roger Teel was about empowered consciousness. I just about squeed out loud when he began to quote and draw comparisons from Empire Strikes Back. Luke can't wrap his mind around the possibility of using the force to move an entire craft from the bog. He has limited thinking which keeps him from achieving the power of that connection to the spiritual force. [Using the Force, Yoda effortlessly frees the X-Wing from the bog] Luke: I don't, I don't believe it. Yoda: That is why you fail. If you are open minded, you can see that The Force, Connection to Spirit, God's Power, The Source - whatever you want to CALL it; the BELIEF in those similar concepts are what gives it power. What you call something doesn't give it power. As Louise Hay says, "you don't get wet from saying the word 'water'." I've seen a lot of reference to belief in various ways in our cu...
