Wendy Perron, Esteemed Editor-in-Chief of Dance Magazine, Recommends Swallow on Twitter!

August 20, 2010 · Posted by Tonya Plank » Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
How awesome is this!: “Tonya Plank’s SWALLOW is a real page turner, & she shows that lawyers get as intensely nervous as dancers.” From Wendy Perron, E-I-C of Dance Magazine, via Twitter. I’m so giddy I’d run into Ms. Perron at an Alvin Ailey season preview Tuesday night and when she told me she was reading my book and enjoying learning about my other life, I almost fell off my chair! I can’t even express how honored I am that she even decided to pick the book up! The Alvin Ailey season preview was excellent, by the way. Their ...

Pretty Kitty I Fell For Yesterday

August 9, 2010 · Posted by Tonya Plank » Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
I totally fell in love with this kitten yesterday who I saw up for adoption on my street corner. I’d thought since she’s longhaired, her fur would activate my allergies like crazy, but then I came home and read that that’s not necessarily true and that in fact Siberian cats (which I think she was, at least in part) are hypoallergenic. So that wouldn’t have been a problem. But since my other cat died, and I’m currently cat-less, they wouldn’t let me take only one; I had to adopt two. And now is such a not-so-good-time for me since I ...

BRIEF BLOGGING BREAK

July 31, 2010 · Posted by Swan Lake Samba Girl ·
Hey you guys, I just wanted to let you know I’m in the process of re-modeling my website a bit. I should have the new site up very soon – I’m hoping the beginning of next week. At this time any new posts here are not automatically going to transfer over which means I’ll have to manually add everything. So, I probably won’t be posting again until the new site is up. Thank you SO much to everyone who is being so wonderfully supportive of my book, by the way. The Kindle version is still on the Amazon top 100 list ...

Koyaanisqatsi—Life Out Of Balance

July 20, 2010 · Posted by Dance Doc's Think Tank ·
Koyaanisqatsi is a Hopi word meaning “life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living.” It is an apt description of the world we live in today. Absolutely every aspect of my world has been turned on it head, hacked to pieces, or made [...]
