A Holiday Sale without Marketing – Let’s See What Happens

Leave a comment

Long-time readers, you know the drill. It’s time for The Girl with the Tree Tattoo’s annual sale! Now through the end of 2025, get 15% off anything and everything in the Ko-Fi shop with code DANCE. We’re down to just the Solo Practice Guide available in print (and only a handful at that), but the Guide as well as the Dance Diaries short reads are available in digital format.

2025 has been a weird, disturbing year, and while I have many thoughts, I haven’t felt the need or desire to write them down for anyone other than myself. The world, particularly the online world, has become so noisy. The urge to quit modern society and live out my days in a hobbit hole in the woods is strong. So in alignment with that, we’re going minimalist with the holiday marketing.

If I’m being honest, I don’t think I’m ready to go full hermit mode and give up all that modern society has to offer. So while I’m still in a place with WiFi, and while I wait for my bread dough to rise, I thought I’d pop in here and at least say something about the holiday sale. 15% off with code DANCE. There, that ought to do it! 🙂

My dance journey has transformed into something quieter and gentler for my body, but that doesn’t mean I’m not cheering for those of you on more exciting or thrilling journeys! Your passion burns strong and you’re eager to prove yourself. You’re determined to walk out and own that dancefloor. The Solo Practice Guide is your trusty companion, supporting you as you learn to balance through those turns while holding your head up high. I can see you smiling as you realize you’re getting stronger. It’s amazing how much more you can enjoy the dance when you don’t need to think so much!

Whether you’re on a high octane jive of a journey, or more of a gentle waltz through the woods, I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season, full of your favorite dance music.

Journal Your Whole Dance Journey (Limited Restock!)

Leave a comment

Popping in quickly to let you know that a VERY limited quantity of A Journal for the Whole Dance Journey is now available on my Ko-Fi shop and Amazon!

I first published this journal in 2019, which I’m shocked to realize was 5 years ago!? After creating The Solo Practice Guide for Ballroom Dancing to help dancers like myself keep up with their dance training in between lessons with teachers/partners, I created this journal to be a singular place to record and easily reference notes and reflections on any and all areas of the dance journey – lessons, coachings, practice, competitions, showcases, and even downtime when we’re on a break from dance.

I designed this 150-page journal to be flexible enough to fit nearly anyone’s note-taking style, but structured enough to keep notes organized and easily referenced at a later date. It includes features specifically requested by dancers, such as a way to index your notes so you can find them easily three months later, structured space to set goals and intentions, and open space to take notes however you best take notes.

If you’re looking for a new journal to keep in your dance bag, I invite you to check out the Journal for the Whole Dance Journey.

This limited restock also means that the Champion Dancer book bundle is available once more (Ko-Fi shop only). Order this bundle to get the Solo Practice Guide, Journal for the Whole Dance Journey and The Choreography Journal with free shipping.

Happy dancing!
