Student members of Chris and Mary’s TMCC class organized together to form hipSwitch over the summer. One early objective was to work at preparing for, and entering the Jewel of the Sierra Belly Dance Competition that was held in South Lake Tahoe last weekend. It was a lot of work, and not without some challenges but also some great rewards – achieving 2nd Place in the Troupe Category was a total honor!
But the most amazing part? Learning about working together towards a common purpose and realizing that we enjoy sharing what we love.
