A rare delicate sword dance piece I'm calling "Flowers in the Wind." Most sword dances I've done are sharper and fierce, so I was very charmed by this one.

Taught and filmed by Xinyi Dance Studios!

I really don't know how to write about this without hitting all the cliches of it being "surreal," "an honor," or "something I couldn't have imagined," because all that is 1000% true. So I'll just take the space instead to say damn, sometimes you SHOULD meet your heros, and maybe you'll get to meet their lovely fiancée's too. Veronica and Jacob were just so unfailingly sweet, genuine, and inspiringly in love every moment we worked together over the months, despite the kind of pressures they were always under.

And a crazy thing that I keep thinking about is that in *their* journey about *their* dance and *their* wedding, they took the time and energy to build up *my* confidence. Being a small business owner often feels real similar to being an unemployed kid dressing up in adult clothes, and the idea of having my work in @people magazine after only a year and a half of officially starting my own studio is, uh, the reason I'm real good at breathing exercises now. But Veronica and Jacob never let my doubt grow too many roots. They trusted my vision even when I couldn't describe it perfectly and they never hesitated or questioned if I was up to a new idea or request. When a family tragedy hit, they treated my schedule as just as important as theirs. And my god, before, after, and during every lesson, the flood of kind words, laughs, and gratitude was just non-stop. And they really, really didn't have to do that. They had every right to write me off as just doing the job that they paid me for, and focus on the 1002 other things calling for their attention. But they took that time for me anyway.

So thank you, @verobatalon, @lifeisaloha for trusting me with something so vulnerable and intimate, even with my shitty website and free zoom meeting that timed out on y'all. Thank you for always coming in despite the gobsmacking amount of schedule-Tetris that required some weeks. You guys are so clearly, heartwarmingly in love and nobody deserves that more than the two of you.

Congratulations!
