Lane Hunter {dance} performed at the Bravo! Live Entertainment Showcase yesterday and i feel like it was a great success. Being the perfectionist that I am I was nervous about being a young company at this event of seasoned event planners, restaurants, and entertainers. Barb from Bridgeport Brewpub stopped by my booth and it really put me at ease to see a familiar smiling face. She was very encouraging and I’m grateful for that.

I had asked the students at Columbia Dance under the direction of Jan Hurst in Vancouver to help me out by performing a piece I taught them this summer at their Intensive. I was so proud of them and they were very professional. They didn’t seem to mind the escape from school. Allegra Carlson came by and performed the film/live dance “ice skating” piece Dear Mr. Rorschach. It was actually the most beautiful I have seen her do it. It’s tough to keep those long limbs on the screen but the audible gasp of excitement from the audience when they realized she was there behind the screen was great to hear. I also danced. Don’t remember much of what happened but the reaction was positive and I spoke with so many interesting people back at my booth and got some great ideas for future events.

Thanks again to all who helped me out: Jeff, Jan, Columbia Dance, Allegra, Amber. The company may have my name on it but it’s really for everyone who is walking down the “Lane” less traveled.

Oh and I forgot to mention, my sister Brooke has been tutoring me on the mysteries of web design and such. She’s brilliant, cute, and always funny. Go check out her site ohbrooke.com.
