I will say, though, that the majority of ganache I use is either for truffles or cake fillings. I don't often use ganache glazes, so there may be an issue there. Typically, after a ganache thaws, I have to warm and re-emulsify it, and that could introduce air bubbles which would make a coating ganache tough to work with.

Personally, I have never had a problem using previously frozen ganache as a glaze coating.
To me frozen ganache is as multifunctional as the fresh stuff. However......
when I take my ganache out of the freezer, I let it come to room temp before I rewarm it.
One time (ok, lots of times), I have taken it directly out of the freezer and stuck it in the micro to rewarm, and it seems when you're trying to warm it up quickly from a frozen state, it has more of a tendency to break and get all weird because the micro puts hot spots in it (even if you do stir it a lot).
The really funny part is.....that it takes less time to make a fresh batch of ganache than it does to
stick frozen ganache in the micro. D'oh!
Posted 04 November 2004 - 04:15 PM
After thawing in the refrigerator, allow the ganache to come to about room temperature; then gently heat the mixture to about 90° -- the melting point of chocolate is precisely 91.4° F. By all means, keep the temperature below 120°. The safest method is to use a double boiler. (Since cream has been added, tempering ought not to be such a critical concern – although some cooks have complain that the cocoa butter separates and they were left with a congealed mass of thick chocolate paste!)

My boss is always after me to make bigger batches, but this is right. It takes no time at all to make so why bother making thirty pounds when ten will do for a while.

Have any of you tried freezing a cake with ganache in it? I have a layer cake with ganache as the filling and it would be heloful if I could assemble and crumb coat the cake, freeze it, and then when I need it just let it defrost overnight in the walk in before I glaze and finish it. Any thoughts on the practicality of this?
No worries.....it totally works. You're right on the money.
Posted 07 November 2004 - 11:34 AM
I'm sort of veering off course here, but when covering a cake with ganache, in my case I use a recipe containing just chocolate, cream and butter -- why would the ganache be cracked all over after being in the fridge? I've solved this by just not putting the glazed cake back in the fridge for longer than what's required to set, but it seems to me I should be able to put the cake back in the fridge to keep it at least overnight. Is there an ingredient I should be adding that would prevent this or any other suggestions?
Posted 07 November 2004 - 12:32 PM
Here's my thought (could be wrong) but......
my ganache has never had butter in it. The times I did try using butter, I found the ganache to be a bit too thin, or I'd get a weird bloom on it once it set. I have never used butter since. And never had a problem. My ganache is just cream and chocolate. That's it. No cracking....no bloom.
My theory is that adding butter adds extra fat. When solidified, fat is somewhat hard. This extra "hardness" in a set ganache cake with butter in it is probably what is causing the cracks. If you leave the butter out, the ganache is probably somewhat more "flexible" and won't crack.
This is just a theory. Try leaving the butter out of your next batch and see if that works for you.
And report back. I'd like to see if I'm right......

I always use either cornsyrup or butter in with my chocolate and cream. (Never used half and half in a ganche and I'm curious about it Brian. More details please?)
It has to be about ratios, NO?............think of a truffle. My truffles have more butter then my ganches and they are far softer........so adding butter doesn't make it harder and more likely to crack unless your using less cream to chocolate and making a firmer ganche then I.
Then to further desend.........mine doesn't do well with moisture so how the item is wrapped and defrosted is critical or I'll get water spots.
Posted 08 November 2004 - 12:32 PM
It has to be about ratios, NO?
Well, yeah, it is all about ratios. My theory stated above addressed the additional fat butter adds to the whole ratio of the ganache. I had thought more fat could add to one's cracking problem, but then, like I said, I could be wrong.
Here's how I judge my ganache. I just use chocolate and cream, since it's always worked fine for me, however, I am going to try adding some glucose or corn syrup to it in the future and see how that works....I could always use more gloss.
Anyway, if my ganache is barely warm and still quite liquid, then I know it's perfect for pouring.
Won't crack. If it's barely warm and very thick, then I know I have a high ratio of chocolate to cream and if I heated it up and poured it, it would A) be too hot to apply to a buttercream covered cake, and B) will probably crack once it sets up.
So here's my question.....for those of you who use butter in their ganache, why do you use butter? For flavor? Aid in pouring? Both? Does it set up better? Way back when, when I did use
butter, I got a grayish bloom on my poured cakes after about a day or so. Does that happen to you or am I just a dork?
Posted 08 November 2004 - 01:23 PM
The half and half lends to the fluity of the ganache, and balance of cost-sometimes cream is outrageously expensive or chocolate so in order to keep within my margins I will use the two as a variable
12 # good quality, ss or bs choc
3 quarts heavy cream
2 quarts half and half
1 quart corn syrup
and I always emulsify the ganache and allow it to mature overnight in the fridge.

Ideally, you are able to leave the chocolate in the wrapper that the manufacturer provides. If you can't then you want to use multiple layers of protection - at least two. Freezer-weight zipper-close bags are good for this purpose, as long as you make sure to expel as much air as possible. A home vacuum-sealer is great for this too.
One of my favorite wrappings to use is the new Press-N-Seal plastic wrap, especially the newer freezer-weight kind. This has got enough weight and the sealing ability makes it possible to wrap the chocolate VERY tightly. After you wrap this way (you could also use freezer paper or similar), place the wrapped block inside a heavy weight plastic bag, squish out the air, and seal. Whatever you do, do not use aluminum foil as an inner wrapping layer that directly touches the chocolate.
Stored this way, chocolate without any dairy ingredients can be expected to easily last 18 months or more and chocolate with dairy ingredients at least 6-12 months (depending on the existing expiration date). If you need more time, find a slightly colder spot in your basement, say 48-55 degrees, ideally one where the temp does not swing wildly (the major problem is change in dew point which is where moisture condenses out of the air). This temp is about where white wine is often served, so a chiller/cellar set for white wine is perfect. Conventional refrigerators (and freezers, especially frost-free ones) are also dehumidifiers and so aren't the best places to store chocolate.
There's no need to freeze the chocolate, in other words, unless you think you won't be able to use it up within a year or more from buying it.
You can freeze if you need more time than this, but it's important to ensure that no moisture is in the packaging otherwise it will condense on the chocolate and possibly cause sugar bloom. Double-bagging with freezer-weight bags is a must. It's also best to freeze/thaw in two steps: to freeze, first put the chocolate in the fridge for a short time to ensure that there is no moisture condensing (if there is, insert a paper towel to absorb the moisture and pop back in the fridge, check after an hour, and if the moisture is gone, remove the towel) then pop the chocolate in the freezer. When thawing, take it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge for several hours or overnight (depending on size) then bring the block out and put it in a cool place away from heat or sunlight to let it warm up to room temperature.
PS. Freezing is most often used to protect the dairy ingredients in ganaches and other fillings. I advise against freezing unless care is taken to ensure that the recipe is freeze-compatible. Taking the temp down to about 34-38 degrees F works like a charm as long as sufficient care is taken to protect against condensation as the chocolate warms up.

I have the necessity to freeze my chocolate in the warmer months due to my lack of storage space and we dont have any AC, I find it stays better in the freezer than the fridge ( I dont have the option of a cool dry place)

If so, how do you go about it? Do you freeze the same flavors together? Do you vacuum seal it?
And how does everyone feel about it?
Posted 16 April 2007 - 08:21 AM
What I've learned, such as through Jean-Pierre Wybauw, is that it's fine--and a frequent practice among chocolatiers--to freeze chocolates, provided it is done carefully. Steps to take to maintain the quality of the product include:
I had an event this weekend and misjudged the amount of chocolates needed. As my friends and family have been overwhelmed recently with testing, I thought I would give them a break. I plan to freeze the chocolates for upcoming gatherings with friends, but wanted to know if anyone else freezes their chocolates?
If so, how do you go about it? Do you freeze the same flavors together? Do you vacuum seal it?
And how does everyone feel about it?
a. Filling the container as full as possible to minimize air space;
b. Wrapping the container well or, ideally, vacuum sealing the container (although the amount of vacuum can't be too high, otherwise the chocolates will be damaged; I'd like to learn more about the vacuum sealing process myself);
c. Placing the sealed container in the refrigerator for 24 hours prior to freezing;
d. Upon removing the container from the freezer, placing it in the refrigerator for 24 hours; and
e. Removing the container from the refrigerator and allowing it to sit at room temperature for 24 hours before opening it.
The process of slowly thawing the chocolates prevents formation of condensation on the surface, which in turn would lead to sugar bloom.
I believe there's more information about freezing in Peter Greweling's book.
Posted 16 April 2007 - 10:22 AM
I may have lost a little bit of shine but I'm not that good yet that you would notice and I have done very little with coloured/painted shells so no experience of freezing those.
I pack up a small selection of different ones in each bag so I can take out a whole bag at a time. I do not have a vaccum pump so I carefully wrap in soft kitchen paper and then double wrap in plastic. As noted above they get put in the fridge to cool before freezing and then when they come out again straight into the fridge for a day and then left in the bag on the counter for a day before opening.
I am hoping this freezing process will help me do some taste comparisons later on so I can see if I like the same recipe with one chocolate more than another. I am hopeless at remembering how something tasted even a few days back.
The fillings I have frozen include ganache, fondant and marzipan. I have not tried any caramel or fruit jelly based stuff.
Posted 16 April 2007 - 10:45 AM
i've never frozen chocolates, but i'd like to hear what people find when they do freeze relatively liquid fillings. if there's more water available to freeze, does the filling expand more than more solid fillings? so do you get more cracking due to expansion?
i can't remember what wybauw said, so i'll have to check the greweling book.
let us know how it goes mary!
Posted 16 April 2007 - 01:47 PM
I also realized if I use smaller containers, I can be more selective about what I defrost; not having to taking out a whole batch if I don't need it. Especially since the process takes several days.

I believe that JPW said that he does freeze chocolates, at least at home to save for guests.
I know it's a common practice in France, using the methods already described by others' posts.

Workers replace two main power transformers, refuel the reactor and perform maintenance to advance equipment reliability
Operators at Exelon Nuclear's Oyster Creek Generating Station safely returned the station to service December 1 at 7:18 p.m. ET after a safe and successful refueling and maintenance outage. During the 30-day outage, workers replaced both of the station's main power transformers, refueled the reactor and performed a number of maintenance tasks that can only be performed while the unit is offline.
Oyster Creek prepared for the replacement of the main transformers for more than a year, a $33 million project that will ensure future reliable operations. In addition, workers set the stage for completion of the underground piping project by year's end, a $13.3 million plan to move pipes containing tritium above ground or into monitored vaults. In all, Oyster Creek spent about $50 million on capital improvements during the outage.
"This refueling outage helps make sure we prepare the plant to ensure that the unit will run safely and reliably during its next operating cycle, especially in the summer months when the region needs the plant's electricity the most," said Mike Massaro, site vice president.
Oyster Creek is located approximately 60 miles east of Philadelphia. The plant produces 636 net megawatts of electricity per hour, enough carbon free energy for approximately 600,000 homes, the equivalent of all of the homes in Mercer, Burlington and Ocean counties.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

BUFFALO, N.Y.- Top talent, local talent and future talent. That's what the Sabres' NHL draft picks have the city buzzing about. But Buffalo's not the place that sees the projected success of these 11 rookies.
After selecting seven forwards, three defensemen and a goaltender, the Sabres' grabbed national attention after the draft. Kevin Allen of the USA Today is just one out of many around the country that is impressed with Buffalo's draft picks. Allen isn't one for grading, but he likes how the Sabres are moving forward after draft day.
"I think the general consensus around the NHL about the Sabres is that they had a really fine draft," said Allen. "Coming in Darcy Regier has showed last year when he picked up a couple of important centers that he's sort of rebuilding and restocking the cupboard with prospects. This season he's done it again with some big picks," Allen pointed out.
With its first pick and the eighth overall, Buffalo took Rasmus Ristolainen, a defenseman from Finland. Along with Kevin Allen, teams around the league saw the potential Ristolainen has in the pros."I had talked to the Dallas Stars about him before the draft and they viewed him as a guy who could fit in right after that top group of four and five players that was considered really elite level and they thought he was right below there," Allen said.
It's the combination of Ristolainen's size and knowledge of the game that makes him a valuable draft pick for the Sabres. Kevin Allen thinks these qualities could have Ristolainen making an impact in the organization. "The scouts tell me is he's a guy that's going to play in the top four. The question is whether he'll be a top pairing guy or a guy who will play in the three four," Allen explains. "But he's a 6'3" defenseman with mobility and the ability to handle the puck and he already has at least an understanding of the defensive aspects of the game."
Even with Ristolainen's early high expectations, Allen doesn't believe he'll make the Sabres right out of training camp. Instead, Allen explains his projections for the rookie in the big leagues. "Depending on what the expectations are for the Sabres in terms of the playoffs next season, sometimes you're a little more accepting of at least giving the kid a taste. So the Sabres might just want to give him a taste of the NHL. Defense is a much harder position for a young player to master early," Allen said.
After drafting Ristolainen, the Sabres selected another defenseman in the first round. With the 16th overall pick, Buffalo drafted Nikita Zadorov, a defenseman from London. And Kevin Allen sees many similarities between Zadorov and Ristolainen. "When they got him I think people thought he might have the possibility of being a steal. It's a guy that's not physically ready for the NHL even though he's a really big kid but they think he's going to be an impact player. He's a guy who's strong for his age and for a decent size player has decent mobility," Allen points out.
In the second round, Buffalo selected two forwards and a center including Williamsville native Justin Bailey. Bailey played for the Kitchener Rangers this past season. The third round wasn't as active, only drafting one forward. Then the fifth round, Buffalo picked up its only goaltender of the draft, a forward and its third defenseman. Finally, the Sabres rounded out the 2013 draft taking two centers, one in each the sixth and seventh rounds. Among those centers was another local player. Sean Malone, taken in the sixth round is from West Seneca and is a member of the US National Under 18 team and is scheduled to play for Harvard this coming season.

This is a two-semester course. May be used to count toward one Prosem - permission of DGS required
The backgrounds and mathematical sophistication of the students entering the LCS-IGERT graduate program will vary widely. A two-semester Mathematical Foundations sequence will provide all students with basic mathematical modeling and algorithmic tools, while still providing sufficient challenges for the most advanced. These two courses (course numbers to be announced soon), will be taught in a computer/media lab setting and will cover relevant aspects of a wide range of mathematical topics that are directly relevant to animal, human or machine communication, or that provide prerequisites for these topics. Examples of topics directly relevant to communication include information theory, game theory, and formal language theory. Examples of important topics include signal processing, machine learning, and probabilistic models. These two semesters obviously cannot substitute entirely for the dozen or more semesters that normally would be required to cover a similar range of topics. However, they can give students the ability to understand and implement algorithms from published descriptions, especially given appropriate libraries of basic functions, and to discuss alternative approaches with experts in a well-informed manner. It is clearly not the case that every LCS-IGERT students will use every mathematical or algorithmic topic from this course in his or her research. However, applications are often unexpected, and fortune favors the prepared. In addition, this background will enable students to make sense of a wide range of courses and readings that might otherwise be inaccessible. Finally, the shared experience of this course will help IGERT students to establish a personal as well as conceptual basis for future collaborations. Each semester of this two-semester sequence will be co-taught by two faculty members. Because of the diversity of topics and of the students' backgrounds, the two-semester course sequence will be organized into a series of "modules", each designed to explicate a core mathematical and algorithmic topic. Each module will deal with specific problems of the type that IGERT students need to solve and will be as self-contained as possible, although of course one module will often require understanding of concepts and techniques taught in another. This is a Mind Sector course.

Ogdensburg Free Academy students visiting the nation's capital over the Columbus Day weekend were able to see the sights despite the federal government shutdown that was still in full effect.
"We did things we hadn't done before, partly because of the shutdown," Washington, D.C., trip coordinator Fiona L. Hopkins said.
Nearly 60 people, including 49 students in eighth and ninth grades and several chaperones, were part of the tour.
While the Smithsonian Institution and monuments maintained by the federal government were out of bounds this time around Ms. Hopkins said the tour company World Strides was flexible and accommodating.
Instead of the Smithsonian students visited the Newseum, International Spy Museum, Crime and Punishment Museum, the Peterson House Museum where President Abraham Lincoln died following being shot at Ford's Theater and Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.
Students also toured the Pentagon 9/11 and Air Force Memorials and were able to get close to the Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, and the WWI, WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials.
Even though many of the monuments were closed, George H. Snyder, high school social studies teacher and one of the chaperones on the trip, said the police where lenient and students were able to get up close so long as they didn't hop any fences.
"The only thing you really couldn't do was go up to the actual monument of Lincoln and Jefferson," Mr. Snyder said.
Mr. Snyder said students were also able to visit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial where they traced the name of Trooper Shawn W. Snow who was electrocuted on the Ogdensburg International Bridge in 2008 while assisting a fire truck with a flat tire.
Another addition to this year's tour that came about thanks to the federal government shutdown was meeting with Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, who granted students access to the Capitol.
"It was a really good learning experience," Mr. Snyder said, noting that students were able to watch the House of Representatives debate part of the Farm Bill and get a taste of how Congress functions.
Students also met with John Cardinal, an aide to U.S. Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y. and graduate of OFA, who gave them a tour of the Russell Senate Office Building and the Kennedy Caucus Room where President John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the presidency.
"The kids were great," Mr. Snyder said. "It was a jammed packed trip."
Students left early Friday morning and returned to Ogdensburg early on Columbus Day.

Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
It's a cold business, but it's a business. But, even still, Dickey may end up being the first player I actually root for, and go out of my way to watch, as a fan of his, after leaving the organization. I usually cut ties pretty easily, but he's different. I don't know why. He always struck me as a normal guy who happens to be really good at one facet of baseball, as opposed to a born-and-bread, entitled athlete trying to act like a normal guy. I admire and respect that in him, and it made him endearing in a way I don't ever recall seeing before in sports. It's actually why I'm kind of glad he's with Jose Reyes now competing against the Yankees. I can root for them both, at the same time, with the same goal. He's awesome, easy to root for and I hope he continues to have success in life on and off the field.
Now, as for the Mets, hat's off to Sandy Alderson for working the market (twice in a year and half) to end up getting one of the top pitching prospects (Zach Wheeler) and top hitting prospects) D'Arnaud all for just two players (with expiring contracts) in their late 30s. His goal is to build a new foundation, a new core of players to help create and sustain a winning franchise over the next five to 10 years, and these two kids are going to help that a lot.
I'm excited to know D'Arnaud is joining Wheeler, with this system's other young pitching, knowing Ike Davis, Matt Harvey, Jon Niese, Ruben Tejada and David Wright are holding up the big-league team. There is still SO much work to be done, but this is a step in the right direction for the right reasons…

Top 10 life lessons from John Cusack
Photo Credit: Listal
John Cusack's entire career is something of a life lesson: you don't need to be conventionally macho to become a leading man. Even in the golden age of muscled-up testosterone, the eighties, Cusack found success in offbeat roles while seeding a career with far fewer rough patches than, say, Sylvester Stallone's. This month, Sundance Channel is showing two of Cusack's very best, SAY ANYTHING and HIGH FIDELITY; in those movies and others, Cusack has much to teach us.

McKenzie Falker: Senior, 2012
Sport(s): Volleyball, Softball
Herrin, Illinois – Herrin High School
Major: Molecular, Integrative & Cellular Biology
Minor: History
How did you find out about Beloit? Did you know a lot about Beloit when you first visited campus?
"Coach Redd had contacted me about Volleyball, prior to that I knew nothing about Beloit."
We are focusing a lot on Liberal Arts in Practice at Beloit; so as part of what you practice(d) name one aspect that you took away(will take) from being a Beloit student-athlete that you use in your everyday life.
"Perseverance- to keep striving for a goal despite numerous setbacks. My first two years here we lost to St. Norbert in the MWC (Midwest Conference) tournament championship game. Last year we beat them in the championship game!"
What (if any) accolades did you receive (Academically/Athletically) while being a student-athlete?
"All-Conference Academic and Dean's List."
If you could name one class or professor (mentor) that really meant something to you while at Beloit, who or what would that be?
"I would to say Dr. Katie Johnson of the Biology Department. She pushes me out of my comfort zone, and irritates me just enough to motivate me."
Name one of the most rewarding experiences you took part in while at Beloit College?
"2010 Volleyball NCAA qualifiers- 3 years of frustration, disappointment, and hard work finally paid off."
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? - Name a career goal/aspiration you strive for.
"Graduating Medical School."
"In ONE word I would sum up Beloit College as – Unique."

The large amount of cocoa powder in this recipe is responsible for the richness of the souffles. And as if that isn't enough, 70% chocolate is folded into the batter. When Michael made his recipe in his pastry-chef days, he stood the chocolate batons normally used for pains au chocolat in the souffles just before baking them. This recipe uses grated chocolate instead.
You can prepare the molds and make the chocolate base up to 6 hours ahead; reheat the base over simmering water before folding in the egg whites.
Line the Molds
Coat the bottoms and sides of eight 5-ounce individual soufflé; molds with the butter.
Mix the sugar and chocolate together in a bowl. Divide the mixture evenly among the molds, and then tilt and rotate the molds to coat the bottoms and sides fully and evenly. Refrigerate the molds while you prepare the soufflé; base.
Bake the Soufflé
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Sift the cocoa powder into a bowl.
Put the water in a medium saucepan. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the beans into the pan and then add the beans. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and remove from the heat. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let steep for 5 minutes. Take out the beans and bring the water back to a simmer over medium heat.
Whisk about half of the cocoa powder into the water. After it is absorbed, whisk in the rest of the cocoa powder. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the base is the consistency of mayonnaise, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the egg whites and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on medium speed until they start to froth and then add about one-third of the sugar. When the whites are opaque and start to increase in volume, add another one-third of the sugar. When they start to become stiff, increase the speed to high and add the rest of the sugar. Beat until the whites start to lose their shine but still look wet. They will hand in medium-stiff peaks when the whip is lifted from the bowl.
Transfer the cocoa base to a large bowl. Fold about one-third of the whites into the base with a rubber spatula. Fold in the rest of the whites just until no white streaks remain. Fold in the chocolate.
Distribute the mixture evenly among the prepared molds, filling them level with the top. Put the molds on a sheet pan.
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until the soufflés rise about 1 inch above the rim of the molds and have a crust on top, about 20 minutes. They will be wobbly.
Transfer them to serving plates and take them to the table immediately.
The Molds:
About 4 teaspoons 2/3 ounce) unsalted butter with 82% butterfat, very soft (75° F)
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons (3/4 ounce) granulated cane sugar
1 1/2 ounces 70% chocolate, grated
The Souffles
2 1/4 cups (9 ounces) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
3 cups water
2 Tahitian vanilla beans, split horizontally
3 ounces 70% chocolate, grated
4 (5 ounces) extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch of kosher salt
3/4 cup (5 1/4 ounces) granulated cane sugar

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Members of the Bangor Community have been going strong since Wednesday celebrating during Bangor Pride Festival. On the final day of festivities, some laced up their dancing shoes and let it all out on the dance floor in a celebration of themselves.
Every Sunday morning, Sarah Hentges leads an Organic Dance Class at the Bangor YMCA.
"It's so open and free and it's really just about moving as it feels good to you. And it can really be a class for really self discovery of who you are and who you want to be," said fitness instructor Sarah Hentges
"Organic dancing is really free, there's a structure to it but there's also a freedom with it too," said participant Rillyria Sherifi.
But this week's class was a little bit different.
"I worked in some ideas of keeping up the momentum and I featured some special, mostly out-lesbian, artists with the songs that we had and the different type of messages in the songs that we played," said Hengtes.
"Like with tight rope by Janelle Monae we talked about keeping on that tight rope and having to stay on that really thin line and keep our balance and how we can get off of that tight rope be who we really are and move how we want to," she added.
And that mindset was crystal clear as from song to song, the dancers expressed themselves through their movement, celebrating themselves as pride weekend comes to a close.
"It's just amazing it's a safe space for all of us and it's just a time where you can really move and there's so few opportunities that we have in our lives that are so structured and so tightly scheduled just really move as it feels good to you so its an amazing feeling that is one that you don't always give yourself permission to feel," said Hengtes.
Allowing themselves to keep the momentum going during this time of celebration.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
With continuous work and a few rain clouds, crews reached 100 percent containment on the Lighthouse Fire in Southeastern Utah. The blaze, which threatened several archeological sites along the Tavaputs Plateau, also forced the evacuation of a nearby youth camp.
On a much larger scale, the Seeley Fire called for evacuations in several communities. In the case of both fires, it was recreation and mostly summer properties which were threatened. However, the speed at which fire can remove a person from their home demonstrates a vital need. A need which is filled by the American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross is self-described as a place where people mobilize to help their neighbors. Each year, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to more than half a million volunteers and the 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. An average of more than 9 million people a year receive Red Cross training in first aid, water safety and other skills that help save lives. Because of this training, evacuation centers like the Wellington Stake Center, which was designated for the Seeley Fire, can be set up at a moment's notice.
Tina Spencer, working with the American Red Cross since February of this year, was one of the first volunteers on scene as a unit was set up in Wellington. In her relatively short time with the organization, Tina has been out on approximately 25 -30 incidents. While many of those incidents have been single or multi-family residential events, Spencer knew wild land fire season would keep the volunteers all over the state busy.
Spencer reported that the Seeley incident was her first wild land fire but with a dry season ahead, it definitely won't be her last. The rookie Red Cross agent detailed some of the services provided at locations like the Wellington Stake Center.
"We provide shelter, food and information as it is given to us. We do everything we can to make sure that our clients are well informed," explained Spencer. "We also have showers and many other amenities here."
According to Spencer, the evacuation center provides a safe place for those displaced by the fire. It also can be an evacuees only chance at communication with a loved one.
While the Wellington Evacuation Center had only seen a hand full of families come through, Spencer was clear about the vital nature of these centers.
"I worked with a response team in Rose Park, a multi-unit fire," she said. "Within minutes of being set up, we saw 150 individuals who needed our assistance. It's not the size of the fire that determines the amount of devastation. Small fires can be brutal."
In her short career, Spencer has already worked through 25-30 fires, allowing her to see just how much the Red Cross does help.
"During the Seeley fire we had a couple of families that did stay at the center from the time of the evacuation until the block was lifted," said Spencer. "It really doesn't matter how many we help but that fact that we are always there when needed. That is what matters."

New York Rangers @
Montreal Canadiens
Saturday, 2:00
Bell Centre
Rangers Record: 29-21-4
Canadiens Record: 29-18-5
On, Feb. 5, the Rangers travel to Montreal for an
Original Six matinee match-up with the Canadiens. The Rangers are coming off a loss
against the Devils, which included the pulling of goaltender Henrik Lundqvist,
historically very successful against New Jersey. New York has yet to win since
the All-Star break, despite the return of most of its extensive list of injured
players. Montreal, contrarily, are 8-2-2 over their last 12 games, making a
surging comeback into the playoff battle and sitting both one place and one
point ahead of the Rangers with the sixth spot in the East.
The Rangers are finally getting close to healthy, with the
post-break return of defenseman Dan Girardi and forwards Ryan Callahan, Brandon
Dubinsky and, most recently, Vinny Prospal. Prospal played in his first game of
the season on Thursday, after undergoing off-season knee surgery. In his first
game back, Prospal was able to score a goal, continuing the Rangers' just-short
comeback from a 3-0 deficit. Callahan also scored on Thursday, making it the
second straight game in which he has recorded a goal since returning from
Rangers' forwards Derek Boogaard, Erik Christensen and
Ruslan Fedotenko remain unavailable to play due to injury. The Canadiens will
likely be without forward Michael Cammalleri, which is a benefit to the
Rangers, since he has previously has great success against New York, tallying 11
points (6G, 5A) in only eight games.
The Canadiens have been on fire lately, winning their only
two games since the All-Star break and earning at least a point in four of
their last five games. Post-break games always have playoff implications, and
this match-up is no different. With the fifth through ninth spots in the
East separated by only eight points, every win is of the utmost importance,
especially those against close competitors. This game is a must-win for both
teams—expect the intensity, always high in an Original Six game, to be at
playoff-level. For certain, this is not going to be a lazy Saturday afternoon.
