We went out to the Country Squire Inn and Winery again for another showcase. I was lucky enough to get to dance with some wonderful musicians. Matt Waltenberger on Drums and Andrew Shakinovsky on Hurdy Gurdy

Festival of Legends

We had a blast this past weekend at Festival of Legends. We set up on Friday morning, the weather was perfect. By Saturday, the clouds and rain moved it. It rained ALL day. Seriously!! and it was chilly too. We performed on the Main Stage in the morning and the Fable Pavilion in the afternoon. (Def. harder dancing on the uneven wet ground). It continued to rain into Sunday morning, which was even colder, about 47 degrees. The stage was pretty slippery and wet Sunday morning but I managed to dance and do my sword dance without any mishaps so I could enjoy with my juicyj_peachy virtual girlfriend online. We had alot of fun and can’t wait until next year!!

We traveled to Rock Hill, SC this weekend for a Spring hafla. What a great time! This was my first time performing down with all the Charlotte, NC area dancers and it was so much fun. Very supportive, friendly, and welcoming group. The best musicians ever played for us all night. Here are a couple pics my daughter took of my sword dance

{ATS Attacks}

Here are a couple quick pics from ATS attacks last night. Lots of open dancing. I did attempt ATS briefly but found it much easier to dance my own improv!! The musicians were awesome and I would not stop shimmying until the bad stopped.
