On this Easter Sunday I received DeAnna’s weekly email about Megha and the waterpot. Our class just learned the waterpot this past week! Those new to Fat Chance Belly Dance will hear Megha’s name spoken with love and reverence. Megha Gavin became Carolena’s travelling partner in the early 2000s and brought fcbd general skills to many many classes around the US. She passed on in October of 2020 and the dance community grieved deeply.
I am one who usually steers noticeably clear of the “c” word whenever I can, but this time I did not, and in my research on Megha I came across her Facebook page-“Megha - beating the odds “. Reading the words of this beautiful spirit as she traipsed through the ungodly land of cancer treatments did something to my heart. I know now why she is spoken of by the fcbd and dance community with such adoration. It struck me- this is the pure heart of this dance. It is fearless, fierce, loving and will never pass up the opportunity to share joy. Megha and Carolena did so much to spread joy together and now it is ours to carry on. I never want to let them down. Her spirit lives on through all of us.
Please take a pause in our busy lives to read about her and honor all that she brought to our phenomenal Fat Chance Belly Dance.
