Greetings!
It feels like fall is in the air. I hope you're enjoying the cooler days and nights. And I hope you're fall isn't too busy!
I feel lots stirring in the air as the season changes. Personally, I feel a renewed energy for some of the projects I'm involved with. I also feel the pull of the world to 'get busy'! So, my challenge is to stay inspired and connected with what's alive in me and also grounded at the same time. I do get off-balance with all the pulls of the world. This reminds me of the short Rumi piece:
I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door.
It opens.
I've been knocking from inside!
When I open the door to the present, I realize that I'm always here in the moment.
Below are a list of some upcoming classes I'll be offering in September and October. Feel free to pass this info. along to your friends.
Warm regards – Patrick

Dancing the Pause – Two Tango Classes with Patrick & Grace
2:00 to 5:00, Sat. Sept. 8th – $10 per class
Join us for two classes exploring the qualities, opportunities and playfulness of the pause in tango. From simple and elegant to playful and creative, there are many opportunities to have a connective moment with your partner and the music. Both leaders and followers can enjoy a moment of suspension, a creative adornment, and an opportunity to connect and express in a different way.
We might ask questions like, how do we feel a pause? What is it? How do we communicate it. How are they different in different kinds of music?
