Anatomy of a Choreography: “Chimes at the Meeting” From: swungover.wordpress.com | August 05, 2011 Over the last year, I’ve been performing a solo jazz cane routine at various camps and shows. Following its performance, I often get asked questions about how I came up with the idea, or how I worked on it, my inspirations, etc. Since I had such a fun time working on that piece, I thought it’d also be fun to write about making it.

Beach Pajamas From: lindyshopper.com | August 02, 2011 In this post I’m going to pay homage to La Mode Pyjama, a blog devoted entirely to beach pajamas of the 1920′s and 1930′s. While this blog is not a source for the actual purchase of said pajamas, it does offer wonderful and inspiring photographs and postcards of beachwear from that era, highlighting various styles of beach pajamas. The material here is simply gorgeous – the colors, the shapes, the scenery, it’s like a wonderful time machine to a tropical destination. The beachwear highlighted here is so creative, ranging from clean and chic to drapey and sophisticated, with each outfit showing different parts and amounts of skin.

The Space Between From: allthecatsjoinin.wordpress.com | July 28, 2011 When I was in college studying music theory and composition, I had a great professor who pushed us to think deeply about aesthetics. He exposed me to many composers and approaches to music to broaden my perspective about what music is and what makes music good. I struggled for three years to figure out my own beliefs about aesthetics and to make a convincing and logical argument for my beliefs. It was a painful process, often getting my ideas shredded in discussions, but it made me a better musician and a better person. Those ideas I developed about artistry, beauty, quality and expression as a musician have deeply influenced my thoughts about dancing.

CH 2011 – "A Day at the Races" Outfit From: vforvintageblog.blogspot.com | July 26, 2011 I only made one new outfit for Camp Hollywood this year, for Friday night. The theme was A Day at the Races but it was also the night of the Balboa contest finals, so I didn't want to be too "theme-y". I decided to wear some 30's daywear but was still undecided as to exactly WHAT -  until Kate posted some Summer Inspiration from 1938. The Sunback Dress (4th picture down, #7754) caught my eye and I knew that was the way to go.
