So here I am, 29 weeks pregnant and super excited about the adventures DragonFly is about to embark upon.  Coming up first is a very exciting Yoga workshop at the Healing Path in Baltimore called "Meditation in Motion".  It will be a six week session exploring the connection between breath and movement and how to deepen that.  Personally I have always been fascinated by meditation, but have found it very difficult.  However, I find that movement can be very meditative when approached in the right way.  Focusing on the breath (which is one meditation technique), can truly clear the mind even while in the most vigorous practice. 

The next extremely exciting adventure is that Danica has received her Pilates equipment and is ready to open her doors for business!  She will be teaching privately out of her home in Glen Allen, Va.  So definitely stay tuned for more news from D.K. Pilates! 

The most exciting adventure we have coming up is the planning of our performance season, including a new project DragonFly II.  There will be a late winter/early spring performance in Richmond, Va which will include a collection of works by both Danica and I, as well as choreography by various DC and Richmond dance artists.  We are also looking into doing an outdoor performance in Annapolis in the spring.  Dragonfly II (although still just in the planning stages) will be a repertory class/workshop for advanced high school dancers in the Annapolis and surrounding areas who are considering pursuing either a college degree or a career in dance.  It will be a two or three week (we're leaning towards two) session where young dancers will take company class, rehearse choreography, participate in an educational outreach experience, participate in a fundraising experience and culminate in a performance alongside the professional company (DragonFly Dance Experiment).  My amazing boss/mentor Lynda Fitzgerald is generously helping us with the planning of this project and we look forward to having it finalized by the end of the summer. 

The pregnancy is going very well, the baby (and I) are growing everyday.  I am beginning to confront some of the difficulties of the third trimester, but thanks to yoga and our creative projects I am keeping busy and engaged.  We can't wait to welcome our little baby into our lives!  October is just around the corner.
