So….I haven’t uploaded in a while!

Here’s one for ya!

Thank you to all the dancers in the video and everyone who came to class.  It is always my pleasure!

I thank everyone for their continued support and for allowing me to live my dream through dance.  I couldn’t do any of this without you.

More to come—I promise :)

ps. Also, thanks to the Vibe Philippines for my shirt! 

with love and Joy,
<3 April 

It’s definitely been a long time since I’ve posted a video. 

Here’s my latest:  Letoya — Love Rollercoaster

I’ll do better to post more :)  Thanks to everyone for your loyal and loving support.  I really appreciate it and it is a God given blessing to be able to have you in my life… even from the other side of a computer screen.

Give it up for some of my favorite girls:
Akane Takekawa
Asaki Imai
Beverly Bautista
Chikako Itagaki
Hikari Nakahashi
Winnie Chang

Thank you :)

Usher - Climax featuring Kana Hasegawa and Satomi Nishikawa from Japan!  Thank you both for your support and for sharing with me!  I hope to see you again soon!

I love me some Usher.  When I heard this song, it sounded pretty epic.  I wanted to dance and I haven’t stopped listening to it since.  I admit, I have a lot of physical limitations and wish I could train a lot harder to push my body to reach different lengths… I still try.  I still would want to stretch more, extend more, have a lot more variety and different technique ranging from jazz to contemporary to real hip hop and funk styles.  Overall I just don’t want to be stuck in a box… or look like I’m stuck dancing in a box.  It’s a slow climb… slowly gettin there…. 

random vent…  don’t really know where that was going… but thanks for reading! Enjoy! :)

First new routine after coming back from the Philippines!

**I told Xernan and David that I would do a video for them.. which I have not yet… and I owe ‘em, so.. be on the lookout.  I promise I’ll do it :)  Sorry, and I love you guys, but I need more time haha!**

Woke up at 8am, drove to Starbucks for my daily coffee, heard this song on the radio, came back home to choreograph, then taught this routine 4 hours later at Debbie’s.  I was pretty delirious and had been dancing for hours straight prior to teaching… but it felt good to be back in mah studio!

This video is from my 2nd round of teaching this routine… trying to get back into choreo-mode.  Check it.

Here’s my latest to a dubstep track.  I love how grimey this song is!

Thank you to the following dancers from Japan and Poland for coming to class and sharing your talent with me: Akane Miyoshi, Ami Saitoh, Kana Takahashi, Sonia Felbur, Misaki Kato, Ola Papior, Mami Osuka

It was my pleasure to have these women in my class this past week, and I can’t thank them enough for their time, energy, and for killin this routine in ways I couldn’t even imagine.  Thank you!
