Accepting two teaching positions ~

No time like the present. I've accepted two classes to teach with relation to the University. To start slow, I've kept it to two. I'll be teaching graduate jazz and I threw in a beginning ballet class that is taken, I'm told, by mostly women who want to add dance to their movement. I think that adult women can benefit from dance at any age so I took this second class to prove that.
This ought to beef up my schedule but I've arranged to teach only two days a week and this will allow me to stay at the hospital.
I feel I'm rehabilitated enough to do these ttwo small classes even if one is very advanced.
So, it's off to the salt mines for me. This usually leads to choreography and then to other states but I'm going to try to keep it in hand.
Dancers never retire. Thankfully, we are needed to build style in advanced dancers and coach for roles that are important which we have danced many times before.
There was a time I thought I'd be a "retired dancer," but it was never in my lifes plan. I did plan on giving back to dance as a teacher and choreographer for as long as my legs would let me!
Please wish a dancer luck as I continue to sing and think of going back up onto the stage with the jazz and blues greats I've sung with before. I just may sing again too, but slow as she goes....
Thanks to everyone here who talked to me and kept me entertained throughout rehabbing and while I took my time deciding when to do what. I feel a slight chill with this decision but it's true, I'll never stop. I'm told that I never should, I've too much to offer. I hope this is true as I launch this effort.
Dancer, singer too.

Dancer, I'm practically untrainable, but I love to dance! Yes, you've read the essay I wrote called "Purple Electric" in the "Our Voices" selection, and heard the rumors about Vegas LOL. Plus I sent you another of my essays. When I hear music I like, I just get up and move something (hopefully not heavy furniture ) I used to dance at concerts, on table tops, in my living room, and at a zillion concerts and clubs. Not that anyone paid me, or would want to LOL.

Dancer, I’m sure you must be an excellent teacher, because you teach with passion. Congratulations to your new jobs!
I envy anyone who can dance well. I don’t know what happened to me, because both my parents were excellent dancers. When they took to the dance floor, the other dancers cleared it to watch them. The only person I can dance well with is my husband, who guides me with a strong firm hand. When I dance alone, I simply jiggle all there is to jiggle. lol
Meredith, too bad they didn’t take movies at Vegas. Would have loved to see you groove!
