Listen Later

If you haven't heard, San Antonio was gripped with snow and low temperatures not seen in decades, days worth of power outages, as well as neighbors and communities coming together to help each other out all across Texas.

Join Karen and two of her students as they talk about how, when things get tough, you improvise to keep moving forward. Texas had a tough week. Take a moment, sit back, relax and laugh a little as we talk belly dance and how most everyone in Texas had to improvise to stay sane.


During this episode of the Baby Boomer Belly Dancer, we talk about:

14:10 What the improvisor truly needs

15:00 How we survived
