I have a new interview with the lovely and talented Angelica Scherp up at The NRI. Here’s a snippet:
Six people trickle into the room, a ballet-style studio with mirrors at the front and barres at the back, taking yoga mats from a side closet. There’s a chatty, nervous sort of camaraderie as the group–five women and one man–settles, the sort of calm people talk about before a storm, but with a blunted, hopeful kind of edge.
Enter Angelica.
Angelica Rose Scherp looks like a regular dance instructor, decked out in black leggings and a tank top, a lacy red scarf tied about her waist. After a quick hello she crosses to the stereo; a moment later, strong Bollywood techno beats rattle the floor and fast, barely accented English rushes into the space. Relaxing, the class slides into a warmup, arching into full camels and core work that makes me ache from my cozy seat on the sidelines.
