nirix5 | Good stuff.

I haven't been blogging about the stuff that I do here at Binger much. I'm either too tired, or too scatterbrained, or whatever. I don't know if I've talked about dance that much. Long story short, one of the doctoral students is also a dancer and dance teacher, and we wound up putting a small informal class together last semester to do ballet (Jesse, bless him, never bought into the jazz bullshit, which is the problem I always had when it took classes anywhere else- if it was in my price range, it was three plies at the barre and then 45 mintues of jazz crap.)

So it was Jesse, me, Kerry, Melissa, Hannah, and Cat. Now it's us plus Narjess and Yosra on weekends (I teach them! Whee!) Jesse told us about the company he wanted to start, taking dance to the ignorant masses. We were down with this.

Now we're legit company members!!!

I'm a professional dancer. Omg omg omg.*

Also I have a formal role in the company: the Repetetrice. I rehearse people and lead warm ups, stuff like that. I get a big stick to bang on the floor as well. I've turned into Mme. Giry, lol.

This is soooooo much fun. We've got a workshop on Sunday morning for ballet and then we're hosting one on the 5th. Exciting!

Here's the site if you want to go check it out. There's not much up yet, but there it is.

*except not really. It's funny cause I can put it on my resume, but couldn't audition for NYCB or anything.
