I loved the concept of "sequence of textures", as it's so much more useful than a combination or choreography. And his personality is great. He reminds me a lot of a friend of mine.

I really hope we can get him to Boston soon but either way I'll go to Rakassah again - Rakassah was such a good thing for my dancing, I can tell already. I feel inspired again.

I regret to say that I slept through his workshop this weekend. I'm blaming my troupe -- they're the ones who made me stay up late and party the night before!

He is a great teacher, though. I like him a lot as a performer, but I think he's even better as a teacher. And lotsa fun too!!
