Portland to Poland and back to Portland...

Here are all of my comrades in the Krakow airport awaiting our flight back home.








Well I was unsuccessful at writing something everyday. The last week was like living in a pressure cooker (performance preparation) inside a refrigerator from the 50's (the Nowa Huta Cultural Center).

Well...really our rooms looked like this.

Yes those are sheets on the windows...apparently curtains are just a suggestion in Poland.

Overall this experience was great. I loved working with all of the dancers...and I truly hope to see them all again.

Here is a list of my favorites about this dance adventure:

• working with Las Pleyadas and being able to watch them up close
• going to Europe for the 1st time
• getting to know my fellow dancers better
• performing
• teaching a "master class"
• experiencing a new culture

I have two other lists I'd like to share along with actual photos from Poland...but I think I'll wait and leave you with the suspense.
