seisiún.
it was
a lovely evening spent
in a warm and friendly house
filled with friends and family and neighbors
of all ages
and
performances
of all kinds
with voices and instruments
and improvs
and storytelling
and fiddling
and
it was important for us,
the americans,
to proudly represent our country
with our own
unique
belly dance act.
it was truly
a night to remember.

waiting at the cinco de mayo dance.
i’m always hopeful.
i feel like I’m at the prom sitting against the wall
waiting for someone to ask me to dance.

may.
“as full of spirit as the month of may,
and as gorgeous as the sun in midsummer.”

the one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing. – james brown
coming home
we happened upon
yet another
surprise festival
downtown
‘dancing in the streets’
with
cellos playing rock and ballads
hot zydeco
jewish youth band
belly dancers
maypole colors
lone violinist
swing
ballroom
the horah
swaying
spinning
circling
hopping
dipping
instruments for kids to touch
drawing people into the street
for
movement
and
dance
creating
eclectic groups
new pairings
unlikely partners
happy faces
and
it was pretty sweet.

i think the universe is pure geometry – basically,
a beautiful shape twisting around
and dancing over space-time.

what a feeling!
with great expectations
i went
to my favorite detroit theater
in the beautiful fisher building
to see the broadway adaptation
of
one of my favorite
guilty pleasure movies
of the 80s
back then
i had
the perm
the leg warmers
the ripped up sweatshirt
the dance moves
the music
and
i couldn’t wait
to see
the
iconic scenes
and
dancing
and
to hear
the
music
once more
but
somehow
the live show
turned out
more like this
only worse
and it was
quickly apparent
that
my expectations
were
way too high
just like
my old perm.
—
both expectations and memories are more than mere images founded on previous experience.
