Crazy busy and loving it!

So it has been an entire week since the last post cause we have just been packing our days.

Exciting news 1 - I finally made it to the Brooklyn Bridge - YAY!!!!!!  We only got to spend 30 minutes there but who cares!  It has taken me 10 visits to NYC to get to walk on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Exciting news 2 - We were able to get in to Ailey School to view a closed class.  Such a great experience for the students.  First thing that I made them observe was grooming!  These people take it seriously!  The class was amazing to watch and the dancers were all so focused.

Exciting news 3 - I arranged for the students to observe 3rd year students at the Julliard School.  We watched a Cunningham class - which was a double bonus because we were able to see what it was we were supposed to look like in our own Cunningham class the week prior and also able to watch these exceptional dancers tackle some really challenging work.

Exciting news 4 - WE ARE IN LA!  And I am driving on the wrong side of the road!

We are all a bit tired - some more than others. The classes have been challenging and its great for all the kids to have such a variety of teachers and styles from which to choose.

We are staying in a cool hotel here in LA.  Its one of my favourites.  And it is in such a great location for food and groceries and stuff.  Tonight we were in by 9pm - this is the earliest we have been home since we left Australia!  Excited for class in the morning - I am doing Turns with the spectacular Bill Prudich! woohoo!
