...not in the existential sense, but why am I writing a blog? The fact that I have to ask (and answer) that question is a sure sign of my age, but here goes:
1) Everybody seems to be doing it.
2) I come from a family of journalists, and I love writing, and even though I don't feel particularly qualified to do it "publicly" (is that another sign of my age??) I do feel motivated to write about something I love, which is dance and my kids (hence the "dancermaker mom")
3) I feel (like most of the world these days...) like I have something to say.
4) I see a lot of dance and there is a lot of great dance in Chicago that deserves to be written about. And there is a huge absence of dance reviews in our local papers. The internet is our only recourse.
5) There is not much out there about raising kids. And there's even less about raising kids and being a choreographer.
So there you have it. My reason for being here.
