Inside the studio with Paulina:

Nothing like all this rain in Atlanta to remind me that I was JUST in Portland this past weekend. Ah, wet, soggy nostalgia. And since I love sharing my travel recs with you... this one goes out to The Kennedy's School Detention bar... that's right... a bar in a former Detention... just imagine how much different The Breakfast Club would have been if they had access to Scotch. Would have been hard to forget about that... don't, don't, don't, you think? #simpleminds 

Dear Dancers, Artistic Athletes and Dreamers!

As many of you already know, I recently celebrated a big birthday. Not big as in party big, but as in number big. I turned 60! and I couldn't be happier about it. Not one to say "of a certain age" or that I'm "plenty nine", I embrace my age with a tremendous sense of pride of accomplishment and gratitude. I made it.

And look at me! I'm not entering into my golden years... give me my sword!  My determination has not faded nor slowed down, rather it's picked up speed because I've been around the block enough to know when purpose is gearing up not down. It's taken me 6 decades to learn how to differentiate the small stuff from the big, the pot holes from the craters - and while I still will make mistakes, I can more gracefully chasse around the landmines of life than in my youth (when I used to step on them continuously ha! - but that's how we learn, right?).

Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey June! #beatles

So, how we doing? Anybody feeling a little soggy? And no, I'm not speaking as a result of our Slim Down Saturdays but now that we're talking about it... remember when I bated you all into completing the "3 class challenge"... 930am Body Sculpt, 1030am MADDX and 1130am Dance Fitness? Well, truth is we weren't sure it was even doable without someone passing out in the middle of studio 3 and then, a few of you not only DID IT but you walked out the door in one piece and told your friends about it. Looks like the challenge is back on my friends BUT not without a little help from you... we need a prize.
