Striving for satya...

About Me

I recently went through some extremely dramatic changes in my life; an epiphany of sorts. I had a mirror held to my face, and was unhappy with the person looking back at me. A dramatic shift has taking place within my psyche, and I am thrilled with the journey thus far. I feel I am learning so much about myself, and continue to grow into the person I am meant to become. It is not an easy process, by far, but I am excited to see what the future holds.My immediate goals include remaining positive and centered within myself, and continuing to learn and grow in my renewed relationship. I am determined to make the most out of each day, and be grateful for all of the gifts I am blessed with; these gifts being health, friendship, love, support, and shelter. Longer term goals are to go back to school for holistic nutrition, and eventually, naturopathic medicine.I am enigmatic and un-pragmatic. I make decisions based on feelings, rather than doing what makes the most sense. This is something I am doing my very best to change. I am an eternal optimist, and very much an idealist. I am slowly learning to become a realist. I can being slightly obsessive-compulsive, and extremely passive. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I have ideas and many talents to offer; I just need to learn to let them be heard and utilized. Music and dance are my essence. I am continually learning more about myself and others around me, and it fascinates me. I treasure the environment, and am doing my best to reduce my impact on an already over-stressed Earth.Dancing has been my obsession, my release, my joy, and my addiction since the tender age of four. I somehow feel that it will always entwine itself into my life. I have been blessed to explore the art with some truly talented people...Richard Denny formerly of the Colorado Ballet, Lanelle Mossbrucker formerly of the David Taylor Dance Theatre, Kathryn Travert formerly of the Denver Nuggets Dance Team, Melissa Core of the Canyon Concert Ballet, Jennifer Avelon of Avelon Entertainment, Ashley Dawson, who has worked for every prominent entertainment company I can think of, and Bobby D from The Vixens and Kevin Larson Productions. I persist to evolve, learn, and grow in my style with continuing practice in ballet, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, belly dancing, salsa, and hoop dancing. I have performed with Avelon Entertainment, Spektical Entertainment, Phunk-e-elements, Floorbangrs, J-Lynn Go Go Dancers, Vixens Entertainment, and Ryan Dykstra Nightlife at venues such as Cervantes, Quixotes, The Church, Vinyl, Tabu, and The Palladium. A selection of events I've performed at includes Frostbite, Nation 4, Glo, The Gathering, Fringe Forward Fashion, and many others.Here are flyers from some of the shows I've had the honor to perform at:
You reflect the magic of the spirit. You are a
mystical person who values the magic in life.
You enjoy the beauty in almost everything;
every sound, smell, touch, taste. Although
you find yourself pulled back to reality by
the pollution of earth, this a very lovely
quality to have, for there isn't much magic
left.

I'd like to meet:

People who have something interesting to say. I'm not really one for small talk, but I love to get to know all types of people. I'd also love to network with other dancers, yogis/yoginis, fellow burners, and DJ or event promoters. I think it's important to trade information and ideas. It makes you a better, more well-rounded person to obtain different perspectives on things. I like people that fascinate me, and have substance. Good conversation is the best, but seems to be hard to find. I don't usually add people that I don't know personally unless their profile really strikes my interest or I have something in common with them. I'm not interested in collecting friends for the sake of having a lot of friends.

Music:

I'm (still!)currently enthralled with Dave Parrish's "Burning Green '07" demo CD, Richie Hawtin's "DE9: Transitions" album, Jack Johnson, Coldplay, Muse,Flobots,Fleetwood Mac, Spoon, G-Love & Special Sauce, and almost anything on KBCO. The music I listen to on any particular day is completely dependent upon my mood. I adore minimal tech, progressive house, and drum and bass. Gritty bass and dark, wicked beats draw me in. Nothing's better than a show where the everyone is dancing, happy, and enjoying the music. It's amazing the type of energy that a DJ or group of musicians can create within a space. The more people that understand that, embrace it, and pass it on, the better the experience of the entire night. Music is meant to be interpreted, enjoyed, shared, and created. There is music in the every day; you just have to recognize it.

Movies:

Almost anything by Tim Burton, Quentin Tarantino, the Cohen Brothers and the Farrelly Brothers. I love movies that make me think about them long after I leave the theatre. Human Traffic, The Big Chill, American Beauty, The Darjeerling Limited, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events, and A River Runs Through It are some of my all-time favorites.

Television:

The Daily Show, Six Feet Under, The X Files, Law & Order, and Sex & The City are my favs. I have been doing more reading lately, though.

Books:

One of my favorite books is "Above the Clouds" by Anatoli Boukreev. His description of mountaineering, and the way that it affected his life, was extremely moving. He was a great man, that was able to accomplish amazing things. It's poetic justice that the thing he loved and made him feel so alive, mountaineering, would become the thing that killed him in the end. I recently finished "The Law of Attraction" by Ester and Jerry Hicks, and am currently reading "The PH Balance Diet" and "If the Buddha Got Stuck".

Heroes:

Aracelli Sugara, Ed Viesturs, Anatoli Boukreev, my soul mate, my kindered spirits, my best friends, Shiva Rhea, Pixie Vision Productions, Rachel Brice, my belly dancing teacher (Elizabeth), Hoop Girl (Christabel Zamora), Ashley Dawson, and Fire Groove (Hannah, Kamala, and Lester) are all people that I admire in some way. They remind me to strive for excellence, and push past those imaginary boundaries that we create in our pliable brains.

My Blog

Little bird...

Life is a series of ups and downs, and when it rains...it pours.  I am learning more and more with every downpour.  I am amazed at my own strength and determination on an almost daily basis....

Thoughts about Burning Man...

I went to Burning Man for the first time this year.  It was many things that I expected, and many things that I was not expecting.  I know that it's incredibly naive of me to even think this...
