New TribalTique Merch!

**NEW TRIBALTIQUE HOODIE, TANK, AND SHIRT DESIGNS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!!!**

Help us get where we need to go! TribalTique is offering some new and sassy designs to help raise funds for our 2010 travel and workshop schedule!

Winter is getting closer, so we thought that it was time for some new hoodie goodness! A number of you have asked us to bring back TribalTique hoodies, and we listened! Another new and limited edition TribalTique hoodie has been designed and is now available for pre-order! Again, the hoodies will ONLY be available on a pre-order basis. We WILL NOT be making any extras for stock, so if you want one, you will have to order one.

Not quite ready for the warmer garments? Have no fear! In addition to the hoodies, we have designed a new ladies tank top and a t-shirt (suitable for both the gents and ladies), for those of you craving variety.

Details on cost, sizing and colors, and pictures can be found at: http://tribaltique.com/merchandise.htm

We've also come up with a package deal so you can get a discount if you'd like a combo deal with the hoodies. Please keep in mind that we will be stocking very little to none of all of these items, so if you want them, your best bet is to pre-order.

PRE-ORDERS MUST BE RECEIVED AND PAID FOR BY MONDAY, OCTOBER 19TH.All shirts/hoodies will be delivered to class/shipped no later than November 30th.

You can order through Molly or Julia at class or at TribalTique.com

Ballet: Class One

-Went to go try the studio 21 adult ballet and lyrical class tonight.
-Unfortunately (but maybe not) the normal teacher wasn't there and there was a subsitute who was patient, sweet and supportive (seeing as I had NO CLUE what I was doing, yay for being a mimicker!)
-GOOD: Bellydance/yoga has given me a strong core so I had great posture!
-BAD: Bellydance/yoga have taught me to always have soft knees (I'm not actually even half convinced it was a bad thing tho... balet and bellydance both put a lot of wear and tear on you knees for different reasons... oh knees I am very leery of locking you.)
-Overall it felt wonderful to be a complete novice in dance again, all of the different names are still making my head spin I must say though! eep! I'm going to look for some sort of a terms guide for reference.
-I don't think I'll be able to make it next Tuesday seeing as that'll be Ryan's birthday, but I'm looking forward to the week after! Perhaps then the lyrical class won't be unexpectedly cancelled and I'll be able to take that class as well!

Trying something new!

Tonight I'm going to attend a ballet class and a lyrical class! People have always seemed amazed when I tell them that the only form of dance I have ever studied is belly dance. It's been amusing and a bit of a novelty trait for the past 4 years, but I'm past ready to expand my horizons. I've wanted to take a beginning balet class for the past two years but have never found one at a time that worked with my schedule. Now I have two classes... lol! I never do anything in small doses it seems. The classes are at studio 21 in Golden if ya'll are curious. Wish me luck!

just dance because you want to

moments of inspiration tend to come when I randomly dance with no intention except to dance

(usually in the bathroom at work) ;-)

Finding Balance

I've often heard people say, "Life is just a balancing act." But what no one ever talks about is how to find the strength to pick up all the pieces when the reason you dropped everything to begin with is because you're torn, exhausted, trampled and burned out.

How do you put that shattered mirror back together? I'm finding out... that just picking it up, one piece at a time, slow and unhurried is best; because to pick everything up at once only creates another disaster.

I'm sorry for those of you who are predominately in my dance life. I'm just now trying to pick up that piece again and bring my heart back into it.
