Grateful for Such Brilliance

I think about this weekend & I'm like... is this for real? I was more than excited to be back at my old studio to take some master classes with Barry Youngblood & Emily Shock. Last year was the first year Starstruck had this specific camp called "Rocky Mountain Dance Team Workshop"- an opportunity for dance teams to work with guest choreographers. It was also my first time working with Emily Shock- a definite must on my bucket list of choreographers to take from. I took the camp last year as just an individual even though it was geared more towards teams. So this year I was excited to be back at it while also being able to take from Barry which I hadn't done before. His hip hop classes were just straight fun. The energy was so high, and while I probably lost 3 pounds of sweat during his classes, I couldn't stop laughing, smiling, and enjoying the choreography in his classes. Then there is Emily. I watch her choreograph and I feel like I am watching something so eccentric & one of a kind. Her musicality is out of this world. I was able to assist her during her jazz classes & then was able to learn a spot for Macy (who happens to be on a mission in Africa right now- you go girl) in the senior contemporary piece which by the way, turned out genius. I am so thankful for opportunities like these.
