Let's Dance!

Stern Grove Festival

I went to a dance and music performance at the Stern Grove today. The performers were from Alonzo King's LINES Ballet featuring Pharoah Sanders and Hamideen. It was pretty cool to see the dancers. They must all be really comfortable in their own skins because they were generally wearing flimsy costumes that didn't provide much coverage. Plus, you have the eyes of the entire audience glued upon your every move, so that doesn't help. They did not have an ounce of fat on their dancer bodies! Impressive!

I met up with my high school German instructor and another one of her students. It was good to catch up and reminisce about the good ol' days. Since this was a free concert, there wasn't formal seating. Instead, it was a bring your own blanket event as you can see from the picture below. We had a little picnic of fresh veggies and dip, fruits, cheese and crackers. Very healthy so that you don't feel guilty when you snack away!
