Boy Blue: I love the way they look different individually however dance in unison, as a Company. Still keeping it social between each other... Best bit 5:02 he catches the music? essence? it fills him. Wow

Oh my goodness! This Blog process is very new to me and it has taken me two and three quarter hours to finally put fingers to keyboard. Fifteen of those, deciding the which pictures to use, what personal info appropriately and safety to disseminate and of course the name of my blog.
Eventually after dismissing my husbands contribution of "Pedagriggy" (my name being Grigg).
I opted for marymap loving the alliteration and not a plosive until the end. Maybe a metaphor for me?
Beginning the MAPP DTP was something that comprised of many discussions, decisions and the convincing of people around me. For me it was the single way to ignite the fire; the reflective and growing process in my working and personal life I needed. Which, for me spill over and blend together as a whole. The Dancer in me is connected to the teacher, the teacher connected to the parent, the parent connected to the child and round and round it goes in a circle. Dizzy from these roles yes I was and yes I am.
However from our first meeting on Friday with the MAPP Team and module 1's, I feel even more excited and inspired and privileged to be given this opportunity of 'learning' and 'experiencing'.
I have been a teacher since it ran alongside being a performer but the process started even before that. Most probably learning to teach, though remembering being taught; storing it in my mind.
We all as practitioners remember our first dance teacher. Even remember our first dance learned? Why do we remember it? What happened in our mind and bodies to make it so significant?
For me it was a disco dance to the track "Stomp" by the Brothers Johnson. The steps to the dance were so simple but the weekly times spent at the local Cygnet Dance Club paying my fifty pence to the teacher, allowed me as a small half Greek girl that lived above the café to feel like a Disco Queen. Feeling the groove in my whole body was powerful and very real. In the track when the guitar and keyboard solo kicked in, wow you felt like you were flying! This is Dance to me, this is what we mean when we tap our hearts and say it comes from here. Be it whichever AOL we are going to reflect on. As pedagogues" to facilitate the learning in others.....it comes from here! Do you agree? What is "from here"? can we teach it?
