SFHHDF Gear Still Available

Ive had some people contact me recently to see if there was any gear left over from the DanceFest . well good news-
I have one box of assorted stuff -hoodies mostly in size small (a few mediums) and shirts.
The box is in the trunk of my car. If you come by to any of my classes, i can sell you any of the remaining stuff that is in the box. Its pretty amazing that ANYTHING is left over, because usually it is all gone.
To find out when i teach , check my class schedule on my website www.micaya.com

Happy Holidays

So my company had a gig last week to perform at the Yelp Holiday Party. It was at a great location; the exploratorium. That led to many fun possibilities for all party goers. Im not sure if it the holidays or what, but people were kinda crazy and drunk at this thing. I am guessing that the opportunity to drink fee booze for a few hours really appeals to people. However they really take it past their limit so that by the end of it all, people were not very aware of their spatial awareness. They were bumping into us, spilling drinks and such. It didnt help that somehow, the stage that SoulForce was about to perform on was suddenly filled with party goers and their drinks. By the time the staff got all these people off the stage for SoulForce to perform, you an only imagine how WET the astroturf grass surface of the stage was. ..yuck.
This incident and other recent holiday tragedies that I have read about led me to think that perhaps the holiday time makes people absolutely panicked and not at peace and not filled with joy the way it is supposed to.
Dont you think we need to reclaim what the holidays mean to us all ?

Catching up

Well it really hasnt ended for me yet. I had family in town all last week. Besides hanging out with them, I have been writing checks for days, doing lots of paperwork, catching up on emails and connections and cleaning up my apartment. As soon as I get everyone paid, I am going to chill the rest of this month.

I am NOT teaching the last two weeks of December.

Starting the new year, It will be super busy with compiling info for the application of grants. Oh and there are taxes too!

Lots of work all year long for ONE fantastic weekend! It was a great one though -
Everything went well-- from the shows to the classes, vip party, and the documentary. I am very pleased with the outcome and will be ready to start again.

We got three major reviews from the top dance critics in the Bay.
here are the links if you havent seen them yet.
