oh the life

This week was an adventure.
It rained a lot hmmm well we are in rainy season. A lot of planning for the summer programs coming up.
I will be starting another blog for the teen summer dance camp that me and Ghandi will be teaching.. Yesterday we were at the tv station promoting through dance and interview it was fun.
We will be teaching urban dance to teenager 12-17 for 8 weeks taking no more than 40 kids and then a big performance at the end of the program.
I'm also teaching at Eco Irie Summer camp for 5-10 yearolds 5 days a week. It's gonna be a kid filled summer.
I got to go to a yoga class up at Shangr-la where Diann from Gray Bear Lodge in Tennessee is staying for 2 months and teaching. It felt so good to do a class have someone telling me what to do with my body....ah having a teacher feels good. It took be over 1 and half to get up there but was so worth it. I stayed after and chatted and had breakfast with her and Analisa(from St. John who is here for a month teaching textiles) It was great connecting with yogi's and inspiring ladies.
Dive week is coming up here and i'm looking forward in doing some dive courses. I'm in one of the best places to learn and do it here I heard is amazing.
I had 4 in my african dance class on Wednesday hopefully it keeps growing. and then only 3 in the hiphop how do i get these people out to my classes. My kids class was the biggest on saturday ever 8 kids.
I had one lady who kept dropping her daughter off and not paying i ran into her this week and she said she thought the class was free hmmm interesting she paid me though for the classes and said she wasn't bringing her daughter anymore cause it cost something. ....wow
I have discovered roti in this country certain places have it on certain days yummmy.
I spend quite a bit of time in the organic shop with Melanie she is a real hoot and i'm always learning something about food and teas. The new one was using organic pinepple skin to make pineapple tea. Just boil water and toss the skin in and let it steep for a good 20 minutes does not even need sweetener.
Next week I'll be spending some time on the east side at Oh la la teaching african dance for my friend Debra's bday and a day away from all this before the big week follows with 2 camps starting...
Get ready for photos and fun
