Getting Ready for Rosie

My dance troupe has been working overtime to get ready for the BFLA show the last few weeks.  We did a mini photo shoot, unfortunately Rachel had to work and couldn't be in the pictures. But hopefully Deanna will be able to do her photoshop magic and put her in.

La Femme Fantastique- Exploring HerStory

It's time again for the annual BFLA -Belly Fusion Los Angeles show!  The theme this year is La Femme Fantastique and my dance troupe She'enedra is going to do a piece about Rosie the Riveters.  I assume most people are familiar with who Rosie was but maybe not.  During World War II when all the men were sent off to war the women were encouraged to go out and work in factories and many take traditionally male jobs to keep the country running.
Here is the famous icon of Rosie and a link to a wikipedia article about her which is very interesting...
Rosie the Riveter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For this piece I've gathered a few extra dancers to fill the stage out so we will have 7 dancers and a couple of handsome soldier boys too!  

Here is the Facebook invitation to the show: https://www.facebook.com/events/1477113725882309/

BFLA - Belly Fusion Los Angeles

 BFLA did an awesome show in Hollywood on Saturday night called Cinema Classics 

She'enedra danced with Jillian in my place (so imagine her in this picture instead of me).  They did a tribute to Rosemary Clooney with some of my choreography as well as a She'enedra choreography.  I went along to watch and sported a hot pink wig since I thought that would be more cheerful than a hat!

AND they got some great pictures in the L.A. Weekly!  So take a look at that!!
