While perusing the crazy stuff I’ve written about over the years (thanks to my great new WordPress plugin which generates related posts at the end of each entry), I re-stumbled upon the blog from the two days I spent learning and teaching the dance for Oprah’s 24th Season Kickoff Party back in September.
