Robin Shumays will be hosting me in NYC for 3 workshops -- coming right up! These workshops have been getting great reviews :-) and I am so happy to be able to share with you! The choreographies are lovely, sweet and lyrical. For both choreographies I include the lyric translations and easy notes to jog the memory. This is really important to me, so that you know exactly what you are dancing to, the meaning it has, what you are translating to your audience with your body.
I hope you'll join me in NY!
