The Whole World and Me

Male survivors of sexual assault quoting the people who attacked them...

With several Emmy awards and nominations, SYTYCD brought dance to center stage (pun intended) and it's a worldwide success, mainly (in my opinion) because of the extreme quality of the dancers and choreographers.

From seasonal choreographers to past contestants who return to the show to choreograph amazing routines, the show explores many different styles and after ten years it just gets better and better!!

Below are three of my favourite routines EVER!!!

The first, "If it kills me" was choreographed by the amazing Travis Wall (a past contestant)...breathtaking!!!

The second one, "Addiction", oh man.... If you want to see addiction portrayed through dance, this is it!!! Choreographed by the wonderful Mia Michaels. 

The best for last? I really don't know, but this one is certainly TOTALLY DIFFERENT from anything I've ever seen. Mark was also a past contestant of the show who went on to become the main dancer of Lady Gaga (you will see why...!). His style is unique and amazing and just....

Argh! No more words, let's just DANCE!!!!

The rain has arrived and my tiny city by the sea looks and feels utterly different.

There's something special about the first day of rain... The light is brighter and yet dimmer, the surfaces glisten, everything is wet and the smell is fresh, like a new beginning. I just love the smell of the rain....

This morning, as soon as I realized it was raining, I just had to stand by the window for one minute (crazy me!! 60 full seconds of "me" time) and listen, feel and smell. All my senses were awakened with this first rain and my heart skipped just one small beat, because I felt like renewal... Does this even make sense?..

People are normally afraid of change. But, if there's one thing this year has been teaching me is that change is good, it's positive, and we should welcome it with arms wide open. 

Fall equals change and I am so ready for it I can almost taste it.

Can't wait for Fall :)

Back at blogging after a month away... yeah!!! I missed this!
