Director, Teacher, and Bartender in Santa Barbara, California
Hello, world! My name is Charles Edward Fossett-Lee, I live, and work in Santa Barbara Ca, I guess most people will say that I'm one of the lucky ones out there. I've dance for over 20 plus years. I grow up in the bay area where I learned how to dance, but unlike most of the dancer I knew I went to school for journalism. I attended Solano College, Santa Barbara City College, CRC, and lucky finished at Sac State. I would say that I loved school that why I went to so many different colleges but that's not the case. I need an escape but I also found a really great job opportunity. Which is what lead me to live in the Sac area. I have always been in love with the stage and with I love performing. Even though my major was journalism, you could always find me dancing or looking up videos. A year after graduating college I open a dance company called, " 10:31" which comes from the Bible 1 Corinthian, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God, " Which is strongly what I believe when it comes to dance and just in life .
When I'm not dancing, I work as the director of a place called My Gym in Santa Barbara. I teach gymnastics, cardio, and dance classes here. I have been working for MGM ( MY Gym Management) for over 8 years now, and not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for being with the future of our world. I get to be a positive role model in this dark world. That is something that brings me joy every single day.
When I am not at the gym working with the kids, I become lost in words by reading, or writing, like every writer I want to have a best seller but the truth is I would love just to get something published and be that cool. But it's all a learning process I guess. I'm a horrible singer but when you sign me up for Karaoke ill slay it! My life might sound all great and prefect but trust me it's not, I have my demons and I wasn't handed the best hand growing up but I will say that I am thankful for everything that has happen to me because it has molded me into the man that I am now. Also its going to make me a great father one day! Also I am a bartender as well, that's something new, it's been rad doing it. So if your ever in SB come down to Blind Tiger and say hi. Yes I am a normal guy as well, I watch movies, TV, and go out with friends. I am fan of cooking as well.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to be over, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.””
