I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Speak to me in a language I can hear
humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
as the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late
Supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
as the sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it
Love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
and you can make it last forever
you can make it last forever
And for a moment I lose myself wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journied here and there and back again
but in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort
Love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrows just an excuse
Tomorrow is just an excuse
and you can make it last forever
you can make it last forever you
forever you
Born in 1981, Arizona native Laura Masterson is currently a student at Mesa Community College pursuing her BA in Dietetics. She also just graduated The Southwest Institute of Healing Arts with over 1000 hours in Massage Therapy, with a focus on Myotherapy, and Aromatherapy. She is also co-founder and 1/3rd of the C’est De L’or Production Company.
Stated to have started dance “as soon as she was able to count to seven”, she was a student and competitor of Irish Step Dance for the majority of her childhood. She competed and placed in several Preliminary Championships under her instructor, Doireann Maoileidigh Hoy. In 1996, she retired from competition and focused on the theatrical aspects of the dance when asked to join a performance troupe Celtic Fire. She realized her connection to performing, and love of the stage, through the five year run of Celtic Fire. In 2000 she branched over to Scottish Highland and Country Dancing, performing with the troupe Dancing In The Isles for two years. Through her experience of being a cast member of the Arizona Renaissance Festival, she was able to meet two very great influences of her professional dance career. Paul Nicolaides of Bedlam Bells, and Samantha Riggs of Domba! Paul introduced her to the not so recognizable Morris Dancing of the English Cotswolds. She performed with Bedlam Bells Morris and Sword for five years and left during the 2006 season to co-found her own group Black Wren Morris in Tempe, Arizona. Samantha introduced her to the American Tribal Style of Belly Dance which she has been studying for six years. The skill and life lessons that Samantha has instilled in her have driven her to strive for higher learning in cultural dances such as Rajasthani, Bhangra, West African, and the Fire Arts as well as becoming a better teacher, constant student, and bold choreographer.
It is Laura’s life’s dream (and soon to be reality) to run a movement and dance studio here in Arizona which will offer this art form that has made her life so full. She would like to become a personal nutrition consultant and bridge the importance of a holistic lifestyle in her clients through diet, movement, and self confidence. Her current desires are to maintain a healthful and consistent yoga practice, as well as learn to play the violin, and spend more time with her boyfriend, Jeff and their cat, Pumpkin.

Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

I'd like to meet:

People who are living the lives that make them happy every day.
I also mostly use this here myspace thing to keep in touch with my dear friends whom I can't see as often as I would like, and to also network with other performers/ musicians/ dancers. If you are so inclined to message me, please let me know where you know me from or have seen me perform, sometimes I tend to not answer if I don't know what your intentions to "friend" me are. Thanks. :)
