Happy Monday!

This vintage photo makes me happy (and who doesn't need a little happiness on a Monday morning?). This dancer's gorgeous airiness makes me want to run through a field and jump and leap. And then take many, many more dance classes to get beautiful legs and feet like this woman.

But I do love her giant yellow bow.

Get your cameras ready...

Just a reminder, if you want to check out my aerial dance "performance" (aka me trying not to fall off the high trapeze and/or split my leotard), feel free to come out tomorrow at 7:00 pm. The showcase is free and you don't need a ticket ahead of time. I will, however, be accepting cash donations (slash maybe paying off people so embarrassing pictures or videos don't emerge on the internet!). The showcase will be held at Studio 180 on West Street in Annapolis.

Here's my original post, in case you want further details. Hope to see you there!

Come see me (alternately titled "aerial dance showcase")

People: I am performing a very quick, very amateur "piece" in a showcase for my aerial dance class. It's me and three other adults, as well as about 16 or so high-school-aged whippersnappers. Which means it will be quite absurd to see my old self (I've got 10 years on those girls!) in a leotard and leggings, trying to maneuver on a static trapeze and fabrics while 16- to 18-year-old girls fling themselves all over the place without even breaking a sweat.

Alas, if anyone wants to come see (and/or laugh and/or bring flowers/chocolate/money), it's next Saturday, June 6 at 7:00pm. My fabulous and talented teacher, Di Palumbo, may also do her piece, which I can assure you will be gorgeous. It will be held at Studio 180 on West Street in Annapolis. Be there or be square (and see you all at Greg's rooftop party in Bmore afterward.)
