It has been a CRAZY few weeks for me! I went away on vacation 2 weeks ago & ended up getting asked to perform in the Middle Eastern Dance Expo that was going on that week. I hadn’t prepared anything but grabbed what costume pieces I had with me, threw on some make up and hopped on stage! I found this picture on flickr this afternoon taken by a random person in the audience. I love how it came out! FYI, the pic is un-edited except to crop it!
Only 4 days after I got back from vacation I was in a HUGE belly dance competition with my troupe this past Thursday. This was my first performance with the Proffesional Troupe & boy was I nervous. It was our first time performing this routine as well which was a huge departure from our ‘normal’ stuff; the first song we danced to was ‘The CanCan’ from Moulin Rouge! Not your usual belly dance fare. 😉
Here is a picture of me on my own a few minutes before we went on stage:
Here is a pic of our troupe after the award ceremony (we WON!):
We did a photoshoot on Saturday as well as performed again in the ‘All Star’ show. Videos were taken both nights as well so hopefully I can share those when I get them but I’ve been told to expect it to be a while. :p
