http://justdancinginthedark.blogspot.com/2013/08/why-i-dance.html
Dancing in the Dark. Helping young dancers navigate the dance world. Friday, August 2, 2013. I was looking through Dance Magazine the other day, and I saw this great article called “Why I Dance” where professional dancers from all dance communities share why they love to dance. I felt inspired by the other dancers’ answers and wanted to share my own reasons for dancing, since I’ve realized that I have not shared that much with you about my own love of dance or why I do it. Dance is fleeting. I love t...

http://justdancinginthedark.blogspot.com/2013/07/having-balance.html
Dancing in the Dark. Helping young dancers navigate the dance world. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Balance is something that dancers really struggle with. Starting from 5th grade, I was able to convince my parents to let me leave school early because the last hour of school was "stupid" and I just wanted to dance. (It also helps that my mother was a dancer–she got it! Go to a concert like my brother and me! I’ve picked up is playing the guitar (I first mentioned it in my Welcome Post. Obviously we all love d...

http://pennypinchingnewyorker.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
The Penny-Pinching New Yorker. Live like a New Yorker without spending like a New Yorker. Monday, November 11, 2013. Long Time No See. It's been a while, I know. And this break has been embarrassingly bad for my wallet. Over the past few months I've become a little distracted blogging about art. And so my Penny-Pinching days came to an unnecessary and unwise halt. And while I peruse the papers and the internet in search of discounts and deals for budget-concious New Yorkers, feel free to check out:.

The Penny-Pinching New Yorker. Live like a New Yorker without spending like a New Yorker. Monday, July 1, 2013. On days when you've been running around all day, it can be pretty tempting to grab a quick lunch from the deli, or order in dinner rather than taking the time to make a home-cooked meal. Breakfast, however, is a meal that I can count on making at home every morning. Because really, the thought of making myself look presentable to the world early enough to go out and buy breakfast? If desired, m...

The Penny-Pinching New Yorker. Live like a New Yorker without spending like a New Yorker. Friday, August 2, 2013. That'll Be Five Dollars. This afternoon as I was passing through Union Square. I decided to stop by the Greenmarket. To look for something to make for lunch. I had only been to the market on weekends, and was pleased to find that a Friday early afternoon was much less crowded than a Saturday early afternoon. I left the market with a wallet only $5. Lighter than what it had been when I entered...

http://justdancinginthedark.blogspot.com/2013/06/injuries-rice-method.html
Dancing in the Dark. Helping young dancers navigate the dance world. Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Injuries: Unfortunately, they are a regular part of a dancer’s life. To be entirely blunt, they stink. No matter how many positive spins someone can put on it, they still stink. “It’s an advantage to take some much needed rest,” or “You get to go to brunch everyday now! 8221; are common phrases thrown at the newly injured colleague in an effort to make them feel better. It actually kept me alive:. Rest: Rest an...

Dancing in the Dark. Helping young dancers navigate the dance world. Sunday, July 28, 2013. Remembering When My Life Changed. My partner Silas Farley from the. Rehearsals for the NYCI were long and grueling, but we were having so much being a part of something special that it didn’t matter. After rehearsals ended each night, my two best friends and I would go upstairs to the dorms, where we all lived together, to talk and laugh, usually until the wee hours of the morning. (Shh! Don’t tell my RA). Finally...
