Tango Dancers
Originally uploaded by -N-Root-

The dance season is coming underway and I am very excited to see some wonderful talent in the bay area in the next few months. Lines Ballet, ODC, Company C and Margaret Jenkins are a few companies that will take the stage soon in addition to SF Ballet. In the meantime, I thought this shot of tango dancers interwined is inspiring and so sensual.

Swan Lake at Stern Grove

We went to Stern Grove festival this afternoon to see the San Francisco Ballet in all its grace take the stage at the free outdoor festival. It was the most crowded I've ever seen the festival and still was a treat to see three different pieces danced, one being Swan Lake. The dance company is beautiful to watch and the grove is like a breath of fresh air with trees surrounding you and people relaxing or taking a picnic. It was Olivia's first ballet experience and she squealed with delight after the first pause to clap. I think she liked it even with her toddler attention span. Just being outdoor and people watching was good enough for her while I was able to see supreme artists do their thing.

Pilates Core Work Out

I must say that Pilates is excellent to tone muscles, especially the core abdomen post baby. It has been a year since Olivia was born and I just added the Mari Winsor Pilates DVD to my daily exercise. I noticed a major difference within a week and it is only a 20 minute video. Sometimes that is all I have time for at once. I can see my stomach muscles again and that makes me feel like pre-baby weight is around the corner. Very exciting. Skeptics, try it yourself!
