Riot and Frolic

a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

I’ve had the odd pleasure and horror of transferring my old dance videos (which were on VHS – YES, VHS) to digital recently and after looking over 20+ years of dancing, I am guaranteed to have some reflections to share with you.

Get ready for SOME WORDS, my people.  AND PHILSOPHY. OF LIFE.  AND DANCE.

To adequately prepare you for the coming posts, I shall forewarn you of the topics (to possibly gird your loins against the attacks on your particular grouping):

  • The Pros and Cons of Pro/Am Dancing
  • The Advantages and Disadvantages of Am/Am Dancing
  • The Assets and Liabilities of Pro/Pro Dancing
  • The Responsibilities and Philosophies of Studio Management

In order to balance out my way-more-than-two-cents on all things listed above, I promise to share some embarrassing videos of myself with you.  #winwin

The pro-amers will be first up on Monday.

Until then, I’m working on setting up a little online Riot and Frolic store, in a weird turn of events that I will attribute to the pandemic, quarantine, and not working for months and months.  I’ve been knitting hats in preparation for next Christmas when several of my Instagram friends asked if they were for sale.  Maybe I’m getting too confident, but I think I can sell a couple and still make them for my family. [Insert maniacal laughter if you realize how many family members I have and to whom I was planning on giving hats.] 

In any case, CUTE HATS COMING SOON.
