My apologies for my delay in posting my vlog for "Dances of the Week" - had some technical difficulties, but we are back at 'em now!

PS I am looking for dance teachers who are interested in teaching at "Dancing in the Park" in Kelowna this summer! If you want more details, drop me a line and I'll let you know why this was the absolute best job ever. (Tweet me @PortiaFavro or email plfavro@yahoo.com)

Have a lovely Friday and good great weekend!

'Twas the night before the first day of my internship,
all the house was asleep.
Not a creature was stirring,
not even my miniature poodle.

I'm packed, ready, prepared and hopefully ready to go,
however, I have a blasted broken toe.

What to wear? What to wear?

Sleep will not pass over my eyelids.

C'est la vie. The injury was worth it - teaching and learning from fellow dancers and professionals in whatever field you're in is invaluable.

When they're doing your choreography and taking it to another level, that's magic.

I can now see why Sonya Tayeh and Mia Michaels get so excited. I hope to one day be the Canadian version.

If you don't dream big, who else will for you?

I know it's not until next Thursday, but I am absolutely over the moon to have my two pieces being shown at the Kelowna Community Theatre on March 10. I've tried to find a way home, but alas, this is not the time (and my essays for school are still calling my name) for more vacation.

However, I've been getting a lot of questions about the artistic process of choreography after I wrote the story behind my contemporary piece.

I'm into dance that at first glance, may not be aesthetically beautiful to the average Joe. It's not ballet and contemporary that only looks good on dancers with long, sinewy arms. I would rather my dancers, no matter their height, size, etc. really and truly feel their movement and heart in their own moments. If their legs aren't as high up, or feet perfectly pointed as a professional dancer, perfect. That's organically where they are in their movement, and a reflection. The worst is have them act as something they are not.
