friday nite and it feels like the weekend already. wed/thurs was a trip to Limerick to that FABULOUS World Irish Music and Dance Academy - the best facilities for music and dance that there can be.

Plus the nicest staff and students - did a joint session on FEELING SALSA with Cathriona Murphy who teaches salsa to the deaf community. Apart from the mice-scare, it was grand! Good questions to think about and some networking for Easter and applied dance activities.

I Want that Mirror Ball for the Peformance Room!!!

Er. 5hr drive was broken in Dublin with BacchataDublin - a dance i never feel confident with and generally push my partner away from me [sorry CD - 10Sq last thurs!!]. Mario has a tango/bacchata routine, broke it down with body movements and weights, made it look fluid, elegant, intimate, sexy, poetry on four legs!!!! It all in the hip changes and is an exaggeration together of what happens in the salsa at any rate. you have to be really confident and comfortable in and with your own body for this - and they say that salsa is sexy! pah ...

Love it and felt i got some of the movements and that i have a future with that dance rather than a hidden past with it!?!?
