The first plug I'd like to give is to go see "Beyond The Sea ~ An all dance production!

This amazing show is the senior project of one of my students ~ Isaiah Silvia-Chandley.  Isaiah has created, produced, directed and choreographed the entire cast of over 100 dancers, singers and actors.

What are you waiting for?

I ask myself the same question when faced with something new, i.e.; a project I wonder how to begin, making a challenging phone call, creating new choreography for the recital, or ~~ starting a Blog!!

For a long time I have wanted to write a blog.  There is a sea of information out there relating to dance, theatre, health, shows auditions and more.  My goal for this blog is to share information you may not necessarily find and/or look for.

• Tips for dancers and theatre performers
• Nutritional information
• Healthy stretching
• Auditions
• Show to see
• and much more
