It may be customary to hold your NYE dance party at night, but through all the muck and fertilization-making of 2020, one big lesson I learned, over and over again, is that we are responsible for our own peace and party life – even if we are also open when offers come our way. To that end, I dance now to say goodbye to the year that’s been, and to rhythmically welcome the one at our doorsteps now. Sunshine and laughter. – Reza Rites.

P.S. enjoy the clips attached here, from Tuesday’s session, and join me in the stories for the fresh steps.

The lippy was meant to be festive. I think it could also serve as visual effects make-up, too.

Obligatory holiday food post. Actually, though, I feel quite grateful to have the resources to prepare and enjoy a meal, and the community with whom to share it. My imagination has enjoyed feasting on the delightful dinners and desserts that many of you have shared; my contributions here are, in fact, another humble offering on the #nomnom alter. Sunshine and laughter. – Reza Rites

Twas the day
After Christmas
During holiday
Vacation
A nap
Called softly
But louder was
Dance nation

With a full calendar
Coming
And the subsequent
Dread
I’ll dance now
Thought the woman
And rest
When I’m dead

(Or till the only
Spinning
Comes from
My tired head)

– Reza Rites

P.S. New dance session NOW and in the stories
