The workshop sounds like fun. My old teacher had us using some african shimmies in some drum choreographies and cane dances. I really find it inspiring how different dances influence one another.
I had swollen knees a few months back due to painting baseboards in my apartment and being on a hardwood floor while kneeling. I took some anti-inflammatories like Ibuprophen and used ice on mine to take the swelling down somewhat. I've been thinking of adding some supplements to my diet for joint health - I don't have any major issues right now, but maybe if I do them now I won't ever. lol.. at least that's what I'm thinking.
