In case you didn’t get that from all my tweets lately. ;)  Here are some photos from the game I got to guest-referee at Madison Square Garden in NYC!  WHAT?!  That’s Madison Square Garden… where the Knicks play! 

I should probably work on my passing skills… I look like I’m in the middle of a game of beach volleyball.We had the most amazing time, yet again.  I wasn’t nervous or anything, even with Bon Jovi sitting in the front row watching with his son.  I just wish I wore better shoes.  No joke, being a ref is exercise!  There’s a lot of running up and down the court involved.

It’s all good… I had a few tricks up my sleeve, even though I was focused on not falling.  (I’m a bit clumsy as I’ve mentioned before!)  When the Elite went to take their foul shot, the ball I handed off to them had helium in it!! HAHAHAHA.  Imagine their surprise as it floated off into the rafters.  Teehee. 

Anything to help my Globies get the upper hand… even though they really didn’t need my help.  Click the above photo to scroll through the pics… below, here are some more photos with Flight Time and Tiny

Tiny’s got over 2 feet on me.  He’s also got as much wit and charm as he’s got height.  Love those boys.  When the Globetrotters play near you, they’re a must-see.  Find out more on their website!

What will it be?  Should I purchase my own static trapeze bar?  Or should I go with the hoop (lyra)?? Decisions, decisions.

Usually when the #triospaztastica (pictured above) goes to practice, we use our coaches’ apparatus.  She’ll set up a few bars, and sometimes the triple for us to play practice on.  It’s fun, but last night I spontaneously decided to try lyra for the first time.  Despite everything I heard about it… “it hurts more”, “you don’t have a lot of room”, etc… NOT TRUE!  I ended up LOVING it.

Plus, I love the spin factor.  It’s very pretty in my opinion. 

I’m not exactly a convert because I adore static trapeze… but who said I can’t practice on both?  But, the important question:  What to buy?!  Help!

One thing’s for sure… I’m not as flexible as I used to be during the gymnastics years, AND I’m sportin’ some very interesting bruises.  Thank you Amy, we love you, and to my other 2/3, Mel & Alisha… we make a great team.  Thank you also to DJ for helping us set up and for teaching me an “alien split”. 

#triospaztastica back at it! @alycat444 Mel and I! (Taken with instagram)

A special thank you to everyone at the studio.  Especially to Tony Dovolani, who is a radio lover at heart and a true gentleman. 

Thanks also to Val, Teddy, Eugene, Pulse Creative, Grubman PR and all of the Dance With Me staff… guess what?! You got a new student!  :o)  Certain parts of the audio might be difficult to hear so I will give you a better recap in a few, but in the video I mention how dancing is something I never thought I could do. It looks like the boys proved me wrong.  I had a fabulous time and can’t wait to continue my dancing journey.  #lovelove!

THIS happened.  To be continued…

#MaksimChmerkovskiy’s Birthday Bash 2012 @ Hammerstein Ballroom, #NYC.  (Click photos to enlarge.)

For those of you who have known me for the past few years, you already know that I’m a DWTS super-fan.  I’m not sure if it’s the sparkle, the grace or just the performance factor, but I’m drawn to it and am in awe of such beautiful dancing. 

I had the opportunity of a lifetime to attend Maks’ birthday bash, thrown by his friends, family and Dance with Me Studios.  I know he appears to be the “bad boy of the ballroom” on the show, but I have a feeling deep down he’s a big ball of mush.  What was supposed to be a roast for his 32nd birthday, really ended up being a love-fest.  “Big brother” was the theme of the night, being called that by many of his present and former students.  Watching him interact with his actual brother Val was sweet beyond words as well.  #Awwww!

The dancing btw was phenomenal.  (I think my friend Steff captured the best action shots if you want to check that out above… just CLICK through.) 

All my life, I’ve been involved in gymnastics, and then later on trapeze.  Two areas where you can get away with not having much grace (well, sorta.)

Dancing is something I’ve always wanted to do.  I must admire the skill so much because it’s something I’ve always believed I couldn’t do.  

Well, good news for me.  Since turning over a new leaf in 2012 (I’m down 5lbs!), this is no longer acceptable to me, so stay tuned.  That’s all I’m gonna say.  ;) 

My nerves were certainly put at ease (about my future dance lesson) by the lovely Twins and also by the amazing Tony Dovolani (who is a huge radio supporter!)  Love you guys!  And thank you so much for this incredible opportunity to be involved in something so touching.  (The event benefited St. Mary’s Healthcare for Children.) 

Oh #trapeze, how I’ve missed you so. You’re welcome to kick my butt tonight! (Taken with instagram)
