Last year’s recap, but I just now discovered its hiding place!

Dudley Flores was one of the very talented & popular instructors at Kosmos Music & Dance Camp this season. He performed his solo “My Story” for the entire camp in the amphitheater as a part of the evening showcase the camp offers.

He’s extremely talented as a performer as well as an instructor. I particularly enjoy watching him carve space the way he does. Very impressive young man.

Back from Kosmos!  This year’s experience was saWeet!  Many new and wonderful faces and some amazing moments connecting and re-connecting with great folk from all over the region. Am so glad that I decided to go again this year – it was a break that was sorely needed.  Great instructors, good food, amazing rustic accommodations made for an overall immensely fantastic retreat.  Of course I didn’t manage to do all that I had hoped; took a drum for a class with Faisal – didn’t unpack it once; took a camera but only managed this parting shot on departure day…  What?!Back from Kosmos!  This year’s experience was saWeet!  Many new and wonderful faces and some amazing moments connecting and re-connecting with great folk from all over the region.

Shelly DeCant of Unmata was awe-inspiring! La Fibi, pure grace and poetry; loved Paco Gomes Afro-Brazilian class, as I did Joti Singh’s Bollywood, Jordan Wilson’s Salsa Rueda, and Rafaella Falchi’s Samba classes!  I also give grateful thanks to Brendan Furey’s Morning Yoga classes for keeping me grounded.  6 dance classes per day, plus some very choice and wonderful performances each evening made the whole event worth a million dollars! particularly enjoyed it when students from each training class joined the performances of the instructors in displaying their new found skills. Amazing talents all around.

It was amazing and well worth it.
