Paperweight On My Back, Cover Me Like A Blanket

I've been a member of an amateur mordern dance company through my university for many years. I took this last season off so I could work more, pay some bills, and really focus on my yoga teacher certification training. Consequently, it's been a long, long, LONG time since I've danced, and even longer since I just went into the studio and played around with music and movement.  Well, last night was the end of that streak!


A good friend of mine, Zach, showed up to play with choreography with me, and we went to town. I've been obsessed with the song Paperweight by Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk lately- it just makes me want to dance. You know music like this. I asked Zach to come by and help me throw a duet together and, boy, did we. We have just over a minute twenty finished, and just about two minutes to go. Luckily, we'll be having more dance dates soon!

It was so cathartic for me to dance again...to just get on the floor and move my body a little. Yoga is incredible, and life changing for me...but nothing can take the place of dance. The music, the emotions, the performance aspect- it's just...everything.  And the best part- his shirt and my socks matched! <3
