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:

00:00  Improvising (aka surviving) this last week with guests Margret and Lisa

01:40  Where were you when you realized things were going to get weird?

10:00  When did you know this was getting real?

13:27  So, we had to improvise!

14:10  What the improvisor truly needs

15:00  How we survived

16:40  Coming back into the studio and "squiggling"

21:30  Revving up for the new semester and Project Band

22:30  The last of its kind -- our 25th GBDAC anniversary

23:32  You never know what life is going to throw at you

25:10  Finding something positive that will work in the face of adversity

26:32  Headspace and being able to flip focus

30:20  Imagination, intuition, and improvisation

32:11  Patterns, trends, commonalities, and what happens on the other side

33:40  Being more prepared and how Project Band helps us make those tweaks

39:00  Life is improve -- since everything is in constant change

Let's just say that belly dancing to live music and learning how to improvise through the Project Band experience helps each of us navigate through the bumps in life.

How do you improvise when things become interesting?
