#dance journal

Dance Vines is a collaborative effort bettween Khalima Sikorsky of Illumination Dance Studio and Arlechina Verdigris.

~From the back cover:

Dance Vines is a simple, handy journal for dancers to chronicle their creativity through the year. Dance Vines features a helpful monthly calendar that begins with September 2015 and runs to August 2016, allowing you to keep track of your monthly classes, workshops and performances.

Each month is provided with several pages for notes, dreams, and networking. You will also find sections in the back for recipes, resources, and even a guide to the night sky (Northern Hemisphere). There are also anatomy charts and drum pattern pages!

There are fifteen coloring book pages spread throughout. Each one was based on a 19th century painting with subjects ranging across Spain and North Africa to Italy, Greece, Persia and India. Giving you a chance to spend time with these great works of art in a thoughtful way—adding your own colors and daydreaming your own patterns into a historic framework.

Our theme for this year is growth. We grow like vines, flowering into different kinds of dancers, holding onto one another for support. May all our dance gardens be fruitful!
