Classes!

Yippee! I have just signed up for a Lyra class in Feb!
I am so exicted about it. The class is in Santa Cruz, at the same place that I took my silks classes last year from the Gravity Girls. (Who are awesome, by the way.) They are having a guest teacher in for a weekend to do a two hours a day course. I took a lyra class in Chicago once, and loved it. It's more painful than silks or slings, (metal instead of fabric) but looks beautiful and the spinning part makes it look so elegant. My teacher there called the bruises "lyra hickeys". I am guessing I will look well loved by the time the weekend is over. :)
AND...
With my tax return this year, I am finally buying a lyra of my very own! I have wanted one for SO long, and now I finally get one! *does the happy dance*
Can you tell I am exicted? :)
Now, I just need to get over this lingering cold so I can get my strength back up...
Keep checking back for new photos in mid-Feb!

I couldn't just take up knitting...

Just trying to find others to chat and "hang" out with who are also cirque freaks. It's just a hobby for me, but one I really enjoy and try to keep up on. Anyone looking to play around with different skills in the Monterey Bay area, chat me up. I'm always on the lookout for a new way to give myself bruises. :)
I started gymnastics when I was around six, and have been on and off into physical arts since. I've taken classes in aerial silks and slings, a few in lyra, some poi spinning (very basic), hoola hooping, partner acrobatics, and trapeze (static and flying). I've performed a few times in small venues, but nothing big yet. More than anything its a fun way to try and stay in shape. I cant do treadmills. Yick.
I'll be posting some photos and maybe even videos in the future of different stuff I've done, and will be doing. I welcome comments and suggestions, and esp feedback. Always looking for room to improve! I also would love to start doing shows or gigs around here, so if you are looking for an act for a party or event, let me know and we'll work something out.
