weekend in review

Friday: Full 8 hours of work followed by an improv belly dancing performance at My Studio in hollywood, followed by rehearsal at until 3am... all on 3 hours of sleep. CHOw!!!
yea that was crazy... but there were some really great moments during the day that i am very happy and proud of.
the first was at the show...which was a fashion show called ART OR DIE PUT on my emileigih barrett and dj sasan... i performed for one of their other shows about 2 years ago and was welcomed back to perform for them again. I am so grateful to have worked with them, they are both just nice and genuine people who believe in artists of all shapes and sizes. Emileigh thank you so much for believing in me and i hope to work with you again in the future.
After the show i literally jumped right into rehearsal, with a competition the next day I had to be there no matter what the time. Its times like those when my passion pulls through, pushing myself to the limit for something I love. Very proud of my team for pushing through as well. Much love to Beat Jerkeez

Saturday: For about a year now I have never liked going to parties. Something happened when i would continuously end up at parties with bad music, lame people and parties that would get shut down at 12. So i took a chance and went to a party and boy did feel good to dance all night... and i finally learned how to take shots... with a chaser..i think i took about 4 shots... which is a record for me.. i'm a one drink a night kind of girl

sunday: was horrible.. well the start of it was because i woke up with a spider in my bed... it was really terrifying and i still am checking my sheets just in case. but i took a little road trip with some of my teammates to watch a dance performance. Great performance by studio429 and participating dancers. Dance is an unlimited art form that can be used to communicate so many different things.
then ended the night with Mexican food and a $3.60 LA water.

weekly tip!

1. A little conflict can be good... never be afraid to approach someone and tell them how you feel. You just have to approach them in the right way

2.Never get comfortable.. in the sense don't be comfortable in the norm
Try something new... don't be afraid to hang out with different people, explore a new town or explore your own... find the little secrets in life... appreciate the little things and chase after what life has to offer you.

3. sometimes u just gotta dance

3 new bars/clubs

okay so at the beginning of my winter break i started a winter break to do list. one of my task was to try out at least 3 new bars/clubs. I successful checked out 4. Here
1.wokocano's in Long Beach
We went on a slow night, needless to say it was the day after new years eve. SO when we got there it was pretty dead, but most likely because people were all partied out. But there were a few party goers who were still up for some fun, because around 11:30 people started to show up.
There are three things i look for when I go to a new place/
1.atmosphere ( space, bar, decor)
2. people ( including guest and hostess)
3. Music

1. Atmosphere: good size dance floor, wasn't to crowd because of the lack of people. But the bar was a good size, average drink prices, $8-10. however they didn't have all the ingredients for a scooby snack, was disappointed at first. but then found a mabliu and pineapple and was happy again. There was an upstairs place but it was due to lack of people. But its nice to know they have more space for people.

2. People: overall pretty friendly, Had the one overally drunk crowd but no one acted too cool to dance

3. regular top 40, a couple repeats, a few old school jams

Place: Moutain Bar
over all my favorite place.

1. Atmosphere: the definition of chill. and the chill vibe happens when you walk in the door. Because there is very strict security, pat downs and purse checks. but they don't hassle you about your attire and once your in everyone is relaxed.

2. PEOPLE: laid back. everyone is either conversing or dancing. very diverse crowd. a colorful sea of people.

3.music: probably the best part about mountain bar is that down stairs is all reggae, and the upstairs is all real/ underground hip hop. i'm talkin q-tip, lauryen hill, common, the real hip hop cats. none of the rap game.

place: Underground Pub/ Chelsae's
1. Atmosphere: dive bar on the bottom, dance floor on top.

2. People: a lot of mixed ages, but you can expect that from hermosa. but you had your chill people, the girls that want be on the center of the dance floor, then my friends, which were the coolest people in the place. hahah jk

3. top 40


place: on the rocks in redondo beach
1. atmosphere: nice set up. there is a sports bar section then a dance floor. hate it when bars try to cram in the bar, the sports section, the dance floor, and the bathroom all in one place.
2. people: pretty mixed group. the dance floor wasn't to packed when i went but still a good amount of people.
3. top 40, couple of old school and reggae jams.
