We've Moved!

I don't know why I said "we", but I've moved this blog to a Tumblr because I felt it would be more fitting since my dance/geek postings will tend to be short and sweet.

TARDIS Pointe Shoes for a Doctor Who Inspired Ballet, Perhaps???



I was randomly browsing through Pinterest (AKA- the reaper of my time), and I saw these hand painted TARDIS pointe shoes.  I've only watched one episode of Doctor Who, but still...this is genius.  This item has already been sold on Etsy, but the photo remains.  I am impressed (and inspired)!  I sure hope that whoever bought these is putting them to good use by producing a Doctor-inspired dance. 

The Etsy user, also has hand painted Alice in Wonderland pointe shoes, which are still on the market!  She is doing it right.

This is a Work in Progress



Oh, hey there.  You caught me an an awkward stage.

I'm in the process of building up this new blog, so yes, it looks very bland at the moment.  The good news is that we have something awesome to look forward to!

A blog/website dedicated to combining my two loves: dance and all things "geek".  Defining the art of dance is easy.  It's art through movement.  Defining the "geek culture" can be a bit subjective.  When I say "geek", I'm basically referring to any TV show, movie, video game, or web series (etc.) that a group of people would "geek out" about/or be enthusiastic about.  A person can geek out about almost anything.  In the same sense, a a person can geek out about dance.  I sure have!  What's interesting about dance is that it not only has it's own realm, but it can be found in other media as well.

Therefore, the main goal of this site will be to feature various interesting dance facts (dance history, featured choreography, choreographers, current professional dancers, dance concerts/ballets/shows, tips, etc.) and also discuss instances in which dance has blended with other media (dance in video games, movies, TV shows, books, etc.).

Dance is very important to me and I also believe it's more important in society than one may think.  I want to be able to share that with the world by showing how beautiful and fluid it is.  Dance is everywhere!  Let's dive in!
