I wanted to post a video of my performance at Gothla UK in Leicester, England from July 2014. Teaching and performing was a major milestone in my life and one of the most exciting moments in my life.

1. Combo:
-Arabic IV (rocking motion) with optional level hip slides: Step forward (R), step middle (L), step back (R), step middle (L).
-To transition to the next foot pattern (Step, together, step, touch), notice that you are weighted on the L foot. Begin the Step, together, step, touch move to the right with the optional level hip circle.
-To transition to the Arabic IV, starting with the L foot, notice that you are weighted on the R leg, when the Step, together, step, touch move is completed. Step forward (L), step middle (R), step back (L), and step middle R.
-Transition to the Step, together, step, touch move with the optional level hip circle (to the L) beginning with weight on the R leg.

Class #3 July 1, 2015
Hi everyone!
Here's a description of the combo from
today's class:
1. Three step turn to the
right, ending with a twist coming from the right hip. Right foot is
weighted and left foot is free to execute a three step turn to
the left, ending with a twist with the left hip. The hip is now
forward to start hip twist forward to back.
- Shoulder rotations: shoulder moves forward, up, back, middle, down. Try to keep the hands as still and relaxed as possible.
- Snake arms: shoulder rotations with the arms following along for the ride: shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingertips.We are half way through the session and there's so much more to learn. I'll see y'all next week!xoxo
