I didn't.   In some ways, Dancing Porcupine really is about dancing - how we can dance in harmony and balance through life with all beings. It's also about finding the dance within ourselves - remembering who we truly are and embracing our excellence. As a fifteen year teaching veteran, I've had my share of experiences with all sorts of creatures - eight year olds with missing teeth, overly exuberant four leggeds, and everything in between. What's deep in my heart is being a teacher. I teach because I care. Are you a porcupine? Porcupines are misunderstood creatures. When they're feeling safe and respected, they're gentle.
