Back to New World School of the Arts!

On November 30, Saturday, we continued our road trip from St. Petersburg to Miami, FL.  We visited my college, New World School of the Arts, 14 years later!  The dance division is up on the 8th floor.  I miss my dance teachers and I would love to see them, but it was Thanksgiving weekend.  The building was so quiet…  However, I seem can still hear the music going in each studio and I seem can still see the dancers running in the hall way rushing to get into the dance class and rehearsals.  Great memories…

From Taiwan to Miami… It’s a Small World…

That’s right!  It wouldn’t be a vacation for me without some time in the dance studio!  My high school classmate Xiao-xuan who I haven’t seen for 20 years since we graduated from Tsoying High School is now dancing with Fuzion Dance Artists.  Amazingly, the Artistic Director of the company Leymis Bolanos Wilmott and dancer Erin Fletcher were my college classmates at New World School of the Arts – University of Florida whom I also haven’t seen since we graduated from school.  People say dance  world is so small.  No kidding!  Who knew that my classmate from Taiwan would one day dance with my friend from college in Miami. Thank you so much for having me in company class and rehearsal, Fuzion Dance Artists (Sarasota, FL)!  What a special reunion with classmates from high school and college!!  Hope to see you all soon in the near future.

20 Years Later…

Dance is everywhere! 20 years later… We danced together again at Fuzion Dance Artists company class in Sarasota, FL!  Xiao-xuan was my classmate at Dance Division of Tsoying High School in Taiwan.  After I graduated from high school, I immigrated to U.S. and we haven’t seen each other since.  It was so good to see her with her beautiful little baby boy Max.  She looks so great!  I so admire her after gave birth, she got back in shape in no time and continue performing and choreographing.  Truly amazing!  Shu-Chen and Xiao-xuan Shu-Chen and Xiao-xuan Shu-Chen and Xiao-Xuan
