Waiting on the Weight – holding ourselves back for “someday”

by Shay | posted in: advice, musings | 0

Seems about 75% of the time when I am chatting women up about what I do, their first reaction is “Oh, I would love to do that!” followed by “Maybe when I lose a few pounds I’ll join up…” It … Read More

I can’t believe how FUN it was! I was terrified of group improv before your workshop, and now I can’t wait to play with it more.

Your love of the dance is abundantly evident.  With much… Read More
