Looks like I’ll be teaching 2 adult Zumba classes for UBC Campus Rec in the fall. A little nervous as all of those 20 year old students will need to be physically challenged. I am very excited about all of my dance classes in general. So, of course that brings a nervousness as well until I actually have taught my first week.
A very hectic month ahead. My daughters are taking so many lessons: piano x3, dance x3, voice lessons, fencing (Mist), skating lessons–not to mention skiing weekends this year.
Also, I am starting my new job which is professional artist (painter). This involves joining so many artist groups, promoting myself non-stop as well as the actual work: trips to photograph vanishing wildlife cultures, and then painting back at my studio. Possibly a studio change as well. Once I can afford it, I’ll move to a downtown studio. I also must study to hone my skills even more. That looks like a 2 month course in France in the spring. Not to mention I will be promoting the books I have written as well and taking a course on e-book publishing this fall.
The dance is my passion–teaching Zumba will support my art career in its early stages until my first art shows.
This weekend is my first trip to photograph wildlife: wolves. We’re camping as a family at Yoho National Park Saturday night–we leave tomorrow, must pack up the tent today! I am paying big $ to walk with the wolves (with a guide) for an hour and a half, so I can photograph them.
Wish me luck–I will now be dancing both my Atomics and Zumba routines each day, until the classes start. I have to know all of the 25 songs inside out!
These are a few stills from a dancing video I made. I had fun creating them–I love photography. Hope you enjoy them.
