SINGER/VOCALIST
I enjoy singing a variety of styles,
but Jazz (pictured here) always feels nostalgic to me.
I have at least a few albums worth of
original material
paying tribute to a multitude of
eclectic style influences
rather than just highlighting
one signature style.
It might be due to my upbringing,
but it might just be me LOL
In choirs I have sung both
alto and soprano parts.

DANCE
This photo is an example of
Lyrical for Dancing Poetry
but I tend to default most often
to a form of "Tribal Fusion"
and FreeForm improv style.
(Please visit the PHOTO GALLERY page
for other Costuming style imagery)
A lot of times it depends on the music,
as different modes often bring out
or elicit different kinds of movement.
(A quick Thank You to the work of Five Rhythms for more than "validating" that)
For Public Performances I have danced
Hula, Bellydance, Ballet, Lyrical, Cheerleading/Songleading, Gymnastics,
Aerobics style original choreo,
Musical Theater, Charleston,
Flags, Pom Poms, Poi, Veils, props
Also trained in some Jazz, Modern, Tap, Highland, Character, Flamenco, Clogging, Ballroom, Mime, Yoga, Martial Arts, Tai Chi...
Jumprope, Chinese Jumprope...
