I met Patricia at Gothla in 2018, I think. I was impressed with her dancing and musicality, and this clip certainly doesn’t disappoint on that front. She’s also a lovely person as well as being a lovely dancer. And if you are not familiar with Light in Babylon, is definitely worth dropping by their Bandcamp to give them a listen
Now go watch Patricia bursting with happiness, and subscribe to her YouTube channel!

Philippa is an amazing ATS® teachers, one of the few with Advanced Teacher Status in the UK, and with excellent tips. I’ve never attended a workshop of hers where I didn’t come out with new information.
And despite ATS® by definition not being a solo endeavor, she does amazing ATS® inspired solos. Enjoy a Throwback Thursday!

Tessera Dance is always fantastic for innovative dialect that remains true to the aesthetics of FCBD® Style. Or, in other words, I really enjoyed watching this set, the formation changes for the trio were brilliant, and the costume was inspired for a modern take that still showcases the moves.
The skirts are Bessies (tulip skirts with high waist, link opens in new tab) and the tops are Careless Whispers from Matadore Designs (link opens in new tab). I’m going to try making something for myself akin to the Matadore top, but toned down to use in class, so I’ll report on results when that happens.
Enjoy!

DeAnna Padrón Freeman is a wonderful dancer, and one of the few Advanced Instructors for FCBD®Style. This is a solo she performed at Tribal Migrations in February 2020.
