Tog Alexandra Beller’s moderna klass pa Gibney 280 Downtown idag. Konstigt att komma tillbaka till DNA’s gamla lokaler. For er som inte vet sa har Gina Gibney (Gibney Dance Center) nu tagit over Dance New Amsterdam‘s space (las om det HERE). Det gors en totalrenovering dar nu och man gar in via en annan ingang. Valdigt rorigt och dammigt dar, men kul att vara tillbaka i en valkand studio.
Det gick hyffsat bra idag. Min kropp ar trott efter ett par dagars forkylning. Min hjarna hangde inte med pa ens halften av vad vi gjorde idag, men vet ni vad, det skiter jag i. Jag gick verkligen dit med installningen att jag tar klass for min egen skull. Det ar latt att glomma det och helt plotsligt sa ar man dar och tar klass for lararens skull. Dumt, men sant. Roligt var det iaf!
Ikvall har jag varit pa pole dance. Gick dit sjalv idag. Kandes lite konstigt, men aja. Larde mig lite nya grejer. Tjejen som undervisar sa att jag har starka ben, och ja, det ar ju sant. Mot slutet av klassen fick jag till en del grejer. Sjukt kul! Nu har jag kommit hem och duschat och jag ar super hungrig!

Took Alexandra Beller’s modern class at Gibney 280 Downtown today. Strange to come back to DNA’s old studios. For those of you who don’t know, Gina Gibney (Gibney Dance Center) has now taken over Dance New Amsterdam‘s space (read about it HERE). They are doing a total renovation there now and you walk in at a different entrance. Very messy and dusty there, but fun to be back in a well-known studio.
It went fairly well today. My body is tired after a few days of having the cold. My brain didn’t follow on even half of what we did today, but you know what, I don’t give a shit. I really went there with the purpose that I take class for my own sake. It’s easy to forget about it and then suddenly you’re there and taking class for the teachers sake. Stupid, but true. It was fun though!
Tonight I’ve been pole dancing. Went there by myself today. Felt a little weird, but well well. I learned some new stuff. The girl who teach said I have strong legs, and yes, that’s true. Towards the end of the class, I got better at some stuff. Really fun! Now I’m home, I showered and I’m super hungry!

Oj, nu rakade jag visst fastna for Pinterest. Jag har undrat vad som ar sa roligt med den sidan, och nu forstar jag. Sa mycket inspiration man kan hitta dar:) Saklart kollar jag bara pa dansbilder, men jag vet att det finns massor av tex. inredningsinspiration dar med som jag ska kolla in vid senare tillfalle. 

Jag mar mycket battre idag. Fortfarande snuvig, men det ar jag alltid kanns det som, haha. Sa jag ska slapa mig till en klass senare. Och ikvall blir det pole dance igen, det ser jag fram emot. 

Oops, now I got hooked on Pinterest. I’ve been wondering what’s so fun with that site, and now I understand. So much inspiration can be found there:) Of course, I only look at dance pictures, but I know there are lots of interior inspiration there too which I will check out later.
I feel much better today. Still runny nose, but that’s like always it feels like, haha. So I will drag myself to a class later. And tonight it’s time for pole dancing again, and that I’m looking forward to.

This is one picture I found on pinterest. Ballet and pole. Strength and beauty.

Vill paminna er svenska dansare som bor i sodra delen av landet, att projektet “Nattdans pa Hovdala” har audition den 16 April i Malmo. Mer info HERE

I express myself with movements. I dance when I can’t find words to explain how I feel. When I’m happy, I dance. When I’m bored, I dance. When I’m in love, I dance. When I’m frustrated, I dance. There is always reasons to dance.

I like to write and I like to talk, but I’m not the best when it comes to words. I’m actually really bad when it comes to words. I struggled a lot in school. I now speak two languages with many words I don’t know. So dance is the best way for me to explain what I mean. Living in Portugal it came clear to me that you don’t need much more than gestures and movements to understand each other and become friends.

Dance has given me the language that I need. Dance is always there for me, whether it’s in a physical form or just in my mind. I’m constantly thinking of space, music and combination of things. That’s how I live my life. Dance.

Hej pa er! Mandag morgon. Jag sitter som vanligt med mitt morgonkaffe och funderar pa vad den har veckan kan erbjuda. Jag vill tro att min forkylning har blivit lite battre. Kanner mig inte lika mosig och trott om i helgen, men daremot mer tappt i nasan. Lovely. Min nacksparr har blivit mycket battre dock. Vaknade ett par ganger i natt med smarta, men nu verkar musklerna i nacken ha borjat slappna av och jag kan vrida pa huvudet igen. Det blev ingen traning i helgen sa jag ar sjukt peppad pa att svettas. Ar det smart, nja kanske inte, vi far se hur det blir idag.

Den har veckan borjar jag med inspiration fran Leslie Knope. Vilken underbar karaktar. Parks & Recreation ar en sjukt rolig serie. Har ni inte sett det sa bor ni gora det nu! Jag skrattar sa otroligt mycket av varje avsnitt. Den serien har forlangt mitt liv med flera ar, hahha.

Hi guys! Monday morning. As usual I’m sitting here with my morning coffee, thinking about what this week can offer. I want to believe my cold got better. Don’t feel as mushy and tired like this weekend, but a more congested nose though. Lovely. My stiff neck is a lot better though. I woke up a couple of times last night of pain, but now it seems like the muscles is starting to relax and I can turn my head again. No workout this weekend so I’m really excited to get sweaty. Is that so smart, ehh maybe not, we’ll see what happens today.
This week I start with inspiration from Leslie Knope. What a wonderful character. Parks & Recreation is such funny show. If you haven’t seen it, then you definitely should! I laugh so incredibly much for each episode. That show has given my life many extra years, hahha.

Den har helgen lyxar vi till det med en massa saker. Eftersom det ar vaffeldagen i veckan som kommer (och min mammas fodelsedag idag som jag inte kan fira pa plats) blev det idag svenska pannkakor till brunch. Jag har aldrig anvant mandelmjolk forut, men jag tycker att det blev riktigt goda.

Min forkylning har inte blivit battre, jag har verkligen ingen energi. Och idag vaknade jag med nacksparr ocksa. Great…not! Sa vi gor ingenting spannande idag. Jim kollar basket och jag spelar Sims pa playstation, hahha.

This weekend we really treat ourselves. Since it’s the waffle-day this upcoming week (and my mom’s birthday today and I can’t celebrate on spot) we had a Swedish pancake brunch today. I have never used almond milk before, but I think they turned out really good. 
My cold is not better, I have no energy. And today I woke up with a stiff neck too. Great…not! So we are not doing anything exciting today. Jim watching basketball and I’m playing Sims on the playstation, hahha.
