Blog 5- Social Circles

Friends are a gift that I am truly grateful for. Friends can become family and if you have a small family that has dwindled away over the years it’s even more important to have friends that feel like family.

Over the last decade I have joined a few different social circles. I have my fitness and gym friends, my running buddies, dance friends, and my professional industry friends. Some of these friendships have grown into long lasting family-like relationships. The reason I feel compelled to write about it this week is because I am truly grateful for my social circles.

Anywhere I travel in the world I can go out for a run or find a place to dance. I don’t have to understand the language, because runners and dancers have commonalities all over the globe. I highly encourage everyone to find a hobby or activity that opens them up to the world and allows for the inclusion into a social circle.

As a runner, I feel there is no better way to get to know someone as when you are training together for a long-distance race. The conversations while pounding the pavement get deep. Those calorie burning therapy sessions are the greatest. Struggling together strengthens the friendship, I believe.

My dance social circle is vast and some people I see almost every time I go out and others not too often, but it’s a comfort to see familiar faces and to feel included. Along the way I do what I can to cultivate relationships. Recently, I have had the good fortune to have a dance friend also become a running buddy.

Months ago, Yolanda and I got connected via another mutual dance friend. It wasn’t until I posted something about running that we realized we had that in common too. That is why I enjoy social media. We first ran together in January. Now we run most Sundays together. This past week I saw Yolanda Friday at Fernbank Museum of Natural History for Latin night and we ran together Sunday.

There is research that proves strong social connections lead to a healthier and longer life.

https://www.getroman.com/romanhood/social-connection/

Throughout the last several years during difficult times I have found solace within my social circles and I am truly grateful for the gift of friendship and support.

I think it was all the sunshine today that made me feel so uplifted and full of gratitude that I felt I had to write about friendship. It could be the runner’s high too.

Next week I’ll be writing about preparation for the performance for the Atlanta Salsa Bachata Festival. Stay tuned…

Blog 6- Showtime Saturday

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was the Atlanta Salsa Bachata Festival. It was a weekend full of dance workshops, performances, and social dancing. This was the weekend Sheila and I had been preparing for since January. Aside from perfecting the choreography we chose our costumes, shoe shopped for hours, and debated over plain fishnet stockings, or rhinestone fishnets. When performing on stage you can’t have too much sparkle. Even the guys wear rhinestones. Three nights in a row I sat in the audience and watched over 100 performances and I never got tired of seeing all the ornate costumes and shoes.

Saturday was our performance night and that afternoon we had tech rehearsal. Rehearsal started at 4pm. Performers check in and one at a time groups, duets, and single performers get on stage and do their number with full blast music and that performance decides the line up for that night. At first it seems totally unorganized with dancers trying to carve out any space large enough to practice their routines. We waited awhile before it was our turn to do our number, so we had the chance to watch some incredible dances. I was looking forward to seeing everyone decked out in costume later that evening.

Once it was our turn to get on stage I felt the flare-up of nervous jitters and a slight shaking in my shoes, but luckily it wasn’t noticeable to others or picked up by the video recording. We felt good about how we did, I knew I messed up in a spot, but I knew what to correct. The next step was waiting to learn what our number was and what time we were expected to be in the green room.

We had time to eat dinner before getting ready and surprisingly I had no trouble eating a meal. I was cool as a cucumber, until it became noticeable that the service was slow, and I saw I was cutting it close since I still had to shower, slick back my hair, do a full makeup job, and put on my costume.

All was fine and right on time. Sheila and I were in our spot to perform at the number 6 slot. We were happy with that since we could get it done and sit in the crowd the remainder of the time and watch everyone else dance. As a group on stage was performing and with one more group ahead of us we said a quick prayer that all would go smooth and we gave gratitude for the honor and privilege to dance at this event.

It was our turn and Sheila walked on stage first. I watched her and waited until she reached her spot and then I began my subtle Beyoncé stroll to my spot on stage. Once our music began I was cued to remember all the catch phrases for the dance moves. The loud bass in the first half of the routine increased my energy and as I glided from one step to the next I kept in mind emphasizing and making the movements bigger and more intense and remembering the timing, not rushing, and not too slow, I watched my partner peripherally to be sure we were lined properly. The fast second half of the routine was fun and required us to look like we were having a blast on stage, whereas the first half was sultry. Once we reached the part where we each had a solo our routine was nearly finished, and a wave of relief was coming over me that I did it, without any missteps. At the end, when we bowed to the audience we had rehearsed how we would walk off the stage, but during rehearsal Sheila caught me off guard and hugged me instead, it was a prefect ending for our routine and it showed the true partnership that we have developed.

We will keep perfecting and performing to get the biggest bang for our buck for all the time we have invested and the effort and cost for costumes and shoes. Months earlier, when Sheila and I first joked about dancing together she said, “I make things happen.” She certainly does, she made me a dancer.

Blog 1- Why I Do What I Do...

A couple of things about me... I love fitness and anything that is physically challenging. I strive to use my body to its fullest capacity. I am content when I have two important things going on every week, fitness and writing. Earlier this month I began training for the Publix Atlanta Marathon and my dance practices to perform at the Atlanta Salsa Bachata Festival the weekend before the half marathon.

I need to stay focused and I have no choice since I have committed whole-heartedly to both physical challenges. I chose to recommit to the sport of running since I would like to drop about ten pounds.  My dance endeavor came about in the most unexpected way. I think it was the mention of costume, fishnets, and heels that lured me into the dance performance world. As comfortable as I am in running shoes and gym clothes, I am equally happy fully made up and in glamorous outfits.

I have a lot to accomplish in a brief amount of time. I could fall on my face and make a fool of myself on stage and that terrifies me. So, the best way to combat fear is action and the action is to prepare.

Stay tuned, every week will be a new adventure of miles in my running shoes and steps in my dance heels.

When your shoes ain't killing you, you can focus on what's important! Feel the difference! Yami Dance Shoes #yamidanceshoes #salsa #bachata #kizomba #comfyshoes #salsashoes #bachatashoes #kizombashoes #latinddanceshoes #socialdanceshoes #socialdance #dancerehersal #dancestudio #Repost @georgiagdances ・・・ I love the process of performing. From rehearsals in the studio to tech and dress rehearsals to show days, I’ve always enjoyed the whole experience. I’m super excited because I’ll be getting a lot of that experience in the next few months and I’m doubly excited that I’m rehearsing for shows and performances that other people are creating and producing. In early March, I’m participating in the Fernando Sosa Tropical Gem performance challenge at the Atlanta Salsa and Bachata Festival. End of March I’ll be in a few pieces in Dance Lab’s “Baddest Show in Town” at the Charleston Music Hall. I’m currently rehearsing with Dance Matters, a local modern dance company, and we will be performing “Coming to Monuments” in area schools in March and May and hopefully in public performances soon! Monuments is probably one of the coolest pieces I’ve ever been in and even though it’s a challenge (I have to memorize lines in addition to choreography!!) it’s been a great process so far and I’m loving it. Taking class, learning choreography and performing is such a treat! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6Vgogh_Nc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5qwtcbne61vt
