SAVE THE BACK ROW FOR ME!!! As soon as I set my water bottle at the back of the room under the large fan, I secure my position on the back row. I'm the new girl at the gym, and I'm not what you'd call a natural dancer. I love Zumba; it makes me smile. And sometimes, it makes me laugh out loud. I look forward to going to two or three sessions a week, since I've joined, but that doesn't mean I'm any good at it. Okay, to be frank, I suck. It never fails; sometime during the hour long session, there is a dance step which requires the group to complete a complicated move WHILE rotating 360 degrees, 90 degrees at a time. Did I say complicated? Try holding your arms above your head, while drawing a circle in the air with your hands, while swaying your hips in the same direction as your hands, and then leaping, and landing in a new position, 90 degrees from where you were. I am concentrating so hard on counting the beats in my head, and staring at the back of our instructor, that before I know it, the entire group has rotated 180 degrees without me, and there I am, trying desperately to keep the rhythm, and perform the right moves, but I'm still facing forward, and everyone else is facing ME. I feel like I am performing for the class, and doing a very poor job of it. The awkward moments only last a few moments, and they always make me laugh, so it's all good, as they say down south. For those who have been coming to Zumba for years, or even those who have done the routines every week for awhile, the moves seem to come naturally. Everyone has their own little flair for the dance, adding a head bob here, a flick of the wrist there, or a thrusting of the hip or pelvis on an accented note. My own nuances are comical, at best, but I can do a "single-single-double" like nobody's business. Me, I'm just trying to survive. In an effort to help the new girl (that would be me), the instructor will hold up her hand to let me know how many of the next step we're performing. Anyone who knows anything there ignores her upheld hand, knowing it's just a signal. Not me, I hold my hand up, too, trying desperately to mimic her EVERY move. I quickly pull my hand back down when I can see in the grand expanse of mirrors at the front of the room that once again, I'm the "odd man out." Zumba enthusiasts seem to enjoy audience participation. Dancers periodically yell out, "WOO-HOO!" or a simple "WOO!" to let others know how much they're enjoying themselves. Instructors encourage class members to join in on certain parts of the song, singing along with the Latin music in Spanish, or having everyone shout in unison, certain repetitive phrases of the lyrics. Yep, I'm a SUPERSTAR! "Come on, people!" the instructor might say. "I can't HEAR you!" she might interject. "How's everybody doing?" she'll ask above the sound blaring from the speakers. It's not that I don't KNOW what to say, or that I don't WANT to be an active participant, but I am one of those people who struggles with too many tasks at once. Yes, I can manage to walk and chew gum at the same time, but ask me to coordinate a dance step with hand movements, AND a verbal response, and suddenly, I feel like I'm trying to pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time, and what little synchronicity I had, flies right out the window. If you've been thinking about trying Zumba, but weren't sure if it's for you, I'd encourage you to give it a whirl. If you're a dancer, you'll fit right in. And if you're not, there's something there for you, too. We all need more exercise, and it really is a good time. If nothing else, it will keep you laughing at yourself, and that will keep you humble. Burning calories, having fun, laughing hysterically, and lessons in humility; what more could you want? Zumba: the exercise that has it all. You don't have to look good doing it; you just have to have fun. Just remember: save the back row for me!

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Alfred Cheney Johnston (April 8, 1885 – April 17, 1971) "Alfred Cheney Johnston (known as "Cheney" to his friends and associates) was a New York City-based photographer known for his portraits of Ziegfeld Follies showgirls as well as of actors and actresses from the worlds of stage and film. "In approximately 1917, Johnston was hired by famed New York City live-theater showman and producer Florenz Ziegfeld as a contracted photographer, and was affiliated with the Ziegfeld Follies for the next fifteen years or so (he also maintained his own highly successful personal commercial photo studio at various locations around New York City as well, photographing everything from aspiring actresses and society matrons to a wide range of upscale retail commercial products—mostly men's and women's fashions—for magazine ads). He photographed several hundred actresses and showgirls (mainly in New York City, and whether they were part of the Follies or not) during that time period." Thank you, Wikipedia!

The Charlie B Gallery of Carson City, Nevada is offering this studio pottery bowl made at The Littlefield Kilns of Edgar Littlefield. Per Vasefinder, Edgar Littlefield(1905-1970) was born in Tennessee. He graduated from New Lexington High School, New Lexington, Ohio, in 1924. Edgar received his undergraduate degree in Ceramic Engineering from Ohio State University in 1928, where he was a student of Arthur Baggs. He taught for 37 years at OSU, where he retired in 1967. You can clearly see in the exquisite lines and glazing of his work that he was a student of the genius Baggs. His last known mailing address was Newark, Ohio 43055. Edgar exhibited at the Syracuse Ceramic Nationals from 1933-1941, 1951, 1952 and 1962. This bowl is signed with incised Littlefield Kilns. I aka Vasefinder know Edgar was supported in production by his sister Emelia Littlefield Howald and her husband John Howald, so other artists are likely in the making of pots signed Littlefield Kilns, as this example is. There is a very light contact/fleck to the glaze superficially at the rim---this is minor and should be considered normal wear. There are no post-studio issues, such as chips, cracks, hairlines or repairs. Some minor marks found to the interior area of the bowl. This bowl has a nice ring to attest to its fineness. All pottery is double boxed to maintain safe shipping standards.
