And by the way, copyrights apply. Because this name more closely defines what I teach and perform. The hardest thing for me to tolerate is the silly grin from strangers once they find out what I teach. Most have no idea how offensive they are being about a culture.

Hip movements are just that - hip movements.
I have so much to learn. I intend to be learning as long as I am living. There are so many movements to master. Since I grew up in European culture, I have so much to learn about that culture that gives us this dance. I insist on passing along what I learn to my students.
