We’re just a few weeks away from one of my favorite events to hold. Dance Fitness Masterclasses are a chance for me to push myself, and bring you new, hot choreography to dance to! I’ll be on stage so you and your friends can see clearly. The studio is spacious, and provides flat screens for magnified vision, club lighting and a hot sound system.
GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY!

MMMMM.MMMM.MMMM.
This is a recipe I actually found on YouTube from Whole Foods. They are listed as Coconut Breakfast Cookies. However, they really don’t taste much like coconut! Regardless….I love these cookies. I made a few modifications to the original list of ingredients, and cooked them a bit longer so I could feel as though I’m eating a crispier cookie.
2 small bananas
1/4 c melted coconut oil
1 c quick rolled oats (Or thick oats, experiment here!)
1/3 c finely chopped walmuts
1/3 c coconut shavings
2 tbsp chia seeds
*2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
Handful of blueberries (and or raspberries)
Parchment Paper
Your favorite mini cake plate ; )
Mine is from hand made here in Seattle by my pal Tracy Mintz.
Mash your bananas in your favorite mixing bowl.
Pour in your melted coconut oil
Mash together with a potato masher.
Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
Divide the dough into 12 balls
Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Flatten each cookie down with the bottom of a glass or your hand
Bake at 325/350 for 20-30 minutes (to your taste)
* I accidentally omitted the vanilla protein powder the first time around, and really enjoyed the cookies. I thought they were short of sweetness, but still really good! When I made the cookies a second time, I added protein powder. The smell of the powder really turned me off, so I only used 1 tbsp. That actually seemed too sweet to me. The third time, I used perhaps 1 tsp., and added blueberries and raspberries. This was the perfect combo for my taste.
I sadly have to take a time out from these for now as I’ve moved on to a Whole 30 moment my life. But I’m thinking about these little treats ; )
Let me know how they turn out for you should you decide to try them out!
Doesn’t everyone look happy? No direction here. This was during a film shoot, in a segment of a super fun part of a chorus.
We all hop around and laugh like little kids. A side-effect if you will.
No matter how crummy or hectic my day gets, dance has a way of arresting that stress for just the right amount of time to get a reset and put everything into perspective.
I’m so pleased by this picture. It perfectly conveys the lightest moments we have in classes!
