Four months ago I asked you to make me dance, and boy did you. So much so that I think I am going to sign up for dance classes again, because I certainly could use some new moves (as you may have noticed). Today, I present you with video dance thank you number 30, celebrating … Continue reading

Dance Thank You: Winter-ish Wonderland
The Crescent Mall, with it’s air conditioning and decorations, is about as Winter Wonderland as we get here in Saigon. Sure, downtown has some stellar decorations, but they don’t have the arctic blow of Crescent’s air conditioner. Though it may not be Christmas season anymore, it is still winter, and Saigon’s weather this week has … Continue reading
Dance Thank You: Ringing in December with a Bang
The 30 by 30 project rang December in with a bang, raising over $4,000 in the first week of December from over 30 donors. Thank you to all the generous donors, whose names you’ll see in the video, as well as the generous families who donated as Christmas gifts for each other. With that spirit … Continue reading
Dance Thank You: So Much Beauty in the World
The world is a beautiful place full of beautiful people. This fall, I had the pleasure of visiting one beautiful corner of the world, Jeju Island, South Korea, and meeting a beautiful family there, who not only sent another girl to school after just meeting me, but who filmed and guest danced one of my … Continue reading
Dance Thank You: My Low Rider
One afternoon this year, I walked out to the parking lot and I had 3 modes of transportation to choose from – my one-speed cruiser, my mountain bike, and my motobike. Just last week I found a fourth mode of transportation, as you’ll see in this video :). I feel extremely lucky to have these … Continue reading
Dance Thank You: Why Not Dance with Cows? or Tulips?
Enjoy the randomness that is this dance thank you. You might recognize one filming location – one of Room to Read’s library projects in the Mekong Delta. Now that I’ve danced in a library, I’ll also read on a dance floor to balance the world again. Signing off before I digress into nonsense… My brain … Continue reading
Dance Thank You: Biker Love
Thank you to everyone who came out for our second Bike for Bikes Event on Sunday, November 17th. We had a diverse group with riders from SSIS, AIS, CIS, and beyond, raising enough for 10 bicycles, or in other terms, enough to send two girls to school for a year. Thanks to Elaine for leading … Continue reading
Dance Thank You: Dancing in The Streets of Saigon
Thank you for the continued support. These donations moved me particularly, as they are selfless birthday celebrations in honor of others. Wendy turned 60 this year, and rather than ask for presents, she gave 60 friends each $60 to spend on charities of their choice. Wendy’s friend Marjon paid forward Wendy’s birthday gift, and then … Continue reading
Dance Thank You: Get Us Bodied
To thank Jenn & Matt and Laura & Aaron for giving girls brighter futures, some Zumbarinas (and a Zumbarina-in-training) put together a not-so-little dance medley. We think Beyonce would approve. Enjoy. And Join the Party. Zumba – Tuesdays at 4:15 and Thursdays at 5. Related articles Woman Preps for Double Mastectomy with Beyonce Dance Party … Continue reading
