OMG!!!! I did it, I did it!

[AppyLover]

I survived my proformance last night. :banana: woohoo!

Ok for those that don't know I have been learning belly dance for the past 5-6 months and last night was our first show. It did not go perfect, but it did go well.

I was a part of three dances. The vail number in the beginning lost count on the music we had to throw an extra step in there to catch up to the music again, lol. but it did go well. Our second number which had a lot of music changes and technical moves went wonderful!! That number was the only one of the night that I was 100% comfortable with, I think the same was for the other dancers too, this number did go perfect.:) Our last tamborine gyptsy type number we bobbled all over the place, but all we could do was laugh it off and inprov a little to get through it.:cool: All in all it turned out well.

The drummers that played for us last night where amazing. One gentleman who is from New York actually plays an Aftican drum for traditional African dances and I will admit he plays an awsome beat to belly dance too.

Thank you to my forum friends here in Vegas that made it last night, you guys made the night extra special.:)


oh and before anyone yells at me for no pictures, camaras where not allowed, or you'd most likely be getting an eye full. lol :innocent: ;)

You're into belly dancing.... fascinating! :) Congratulations!

[AppyLover]

Thank you. My nerves where so frayed last night, but it was great.

Very cool. Okay, you have an out for no pics from last night, but what about in class?

[AppyLover]

lol. class?? Well uhm, Not sure if I can take them...never asked. I will find out if it will be ok and snap a few if my instructor says I can.

Good for you Appylover! Congrads.. Do you wear an authentic belly dancing costume when you put on a show or in class?

[AppyLover]

In class I ware a pair of work out pants and a small t-shirt and a coin belt.

During a performance I was in an authentic egyption costume.

Okay, so why not a picture of YOU in all your finery...

And congrats on your performance. They NEVER go perfect but it's the little things that make it so memorable. And chances are, no one in the audence knew any better. :)

Man, I'd love to take belly dancing.
They offer it at the college I go to, but you have to pay out of pocket to take it.
I think it's $10/week for 6 weeks, so it's not that bad.
I'll probably try to talk my dad into letting me take it.

I'd have loved to see your performance, I'll bet it was awesome!

[sugarsgirl]

Thats awesome! congrats! lol

[Remali]

OMG that sounds like so much fun.....good for you!

[AppyLover]

Thanks everyone. I will see about getting some "posed" pictures for you.

I have so much fun belly dancing and after making the VERY self concious desision to try, I have not regretted it since. In fact I want to keep up with this. I even am starting to think of preforming at tribal fest in a couple of years or even other dance shows or cometitions in the future, once I get better ab control and more robotic hip moves mastered. lol I am obsessed, I really love this dance and feel just down right amazing while dancing. So I will encourage every woman who wants to try to do so. :)

I was one of the attendee's to Appylovers event. It was pretty cool to see and what a GREAT job she did.
I don't know about the mishaps that Appylover speaks of but it sure was nice and she is very talented.

AWESOME JOB APPYLOVER!!!

Congratulations. I have heard others say that belly dancing is just so much fun, too. Great job!

[AppyLover]

Thank you Gaited. :o

And thanks guys, I will try to get some posed pictures soon. There are some before show pictures floating around, I will try to get copies of them from a gal who was helping us. There were none allowed during the show though. But if she will email the few she snapped while we were getting ready, I will post them for you. ;)
