Look at this awesome community of actors! Directed my first showcase featuring my Monday night TV/film acting class students at @bayareaacting with superhero assistant director, @iselijahacting ✨️
Thank you to my teachers and mentors and colleagues @christye777@melissalocsin@rupoo for all your love and support. ❤️
And so much gratitude to @barbarytoast for showing me how to teach and direct compassionately, and for trusting me with your students!
The lovely crew members @officiallyadasali@hal_yeah_talent@ekusuma02@ali.a.abdallah0@jenniferelsiecosta@samurae (and many more untagged) ran an excellently smooth show. ✨️
Many parts of the show were handpicked scenes from memorable films/shows I enjoyed during big moments in my life. How lovely and fulfilling it was to watch these talented actors tell those stories on stage for their friends and family... :) They worked so hard, and I'm so proud.
We love movies and TV and theater. We love living in imaginary worlds. Let's do more of it!!!

Once a year, (for the past 14 years!) I spend 72 hours dancing and teaching with @fanimecon 's Black & White Ball (apparently the BEST formal dance event at an anime con in the nation, per my dance expert colleague @trickssi ❤️). Goal: teach a class of newcomers how to partner dance in hour long classes across many styles, all weekend along!
Here are some group photos and snippets of some of those fantastic classes, a group photo of the amazing and talented Black & White Ball team at the end of a 72 hour+ whirlwind, and me passed out in between shifts (thanks @lillian.y.luu )
Shout outs to my co-teacher leads @wannabe_around@princesskitty18@azncalibutt90210@banehowl@achyun@kainskywind and our many super assistants for holding down huge group classes flawlessly!
I love teaching, and teaching the joy of ballroom dancing is an incredibly challenging and rewarding thing to do. Thanks talented dancer friends, fellow staffers, and returning students of several years + brand new dancers for inspiring me year after year.
Join me if you're ever interested in checking out Black & White Ball lessons with us next year, and dance with me soon!!! :)
