June Update

Well, it's so far been about a month since the last shows of ProTrack and I currently find myself safe at home in Chappaqua, NY.

The week after the last of the shows, I stayed in Brattleboro for an extra week to continue training (hey, my rent and Members Only was already paid for! :P).  I also had a private lesson with Serenity that I rescheduled because my sinuses started to act up between the two weekends of shows.  She helped to lead me in the direction how to further modify my trapeze act for the future.

The week after, I came back to Chappaqua and first and foremost spent some time with many of my friends who I, for the most part, haven't seen since the holiday break I had in December.  I trained at World Cup a few of those days as well.  It's been particularly nice to have some training time where I'm not concentrating on my single point trapeze major or floor acrobatics minor to get some long-needed time with aerial fabric.

I've also been able to manage an agreement with World Cup Gymnastics so that I can teach private lessons there during the one hour timeslot that I've otherwise been able to use to train.  So far, this has been slow, as the hardest thing at this point is getting the word out that I am teaching lessons.  However, once I get a solid clientele, I am sure that this will become something worth it in the end.  You can find out more information about the private and semiprivate lessons I teach at http:///www.trevorkafka.com/instructor.html.

For the two weeks after, I went on vacation in Grand Cayman with my parents, which was exceedingly nice.  There was a lot of SCUBA diving, snorkeling, ocean fun, and island exploring.  Not much occurred during this time that was circus related, so not much elaboration will go on with respect to this subject (except for the fact that I kept having cravings to want to do aerials over the ocean, which I'm sure will one day become a reality -- it just seems like just a wonderful thing to do as well as behold).

This past week I had two students sign up for a semiprivate lesson, but shortly thereafter had cancelled.  They were both students I had not known prior, so I was eager to hope to spread the word to others, but that's just life I guess.  Regardless, we keep on trucking.
