not sure what is up w/ lj today
or
the mix of lj & my video posting skillzzz
that is prob more like it.

i made this long post this morning w/ this video but for some reason it only
posted the 1st couple of paragraphs.
lame

so here we go again...

below is my solo belly dance from i guess a week ago/2 weekends ago.
i also danced w/ my class this night playing zills.
i might upload that video.
i totally messed up a couple of times!
guess i was very unprepared for the chaos.
as in no order as we got onstage.
it was a free for all.
get onstage & get into place,even though we had no real
assigned places.

so i somehow got all disorientated from being squished into the center back
row, for some reason i only know the dance in my normal position in class.
not to mention in class we have to dance across the room & back & forth fast.
onstage there were more people in this dance, the other class with ours.
we were all so squished, it felt very claustrophobic for sure plus i was being squished into
the back wall.
best part was,
the turkish troup right before us had gorgeous fringe costumes on.
well, someone lost a bunch of beads.
and i mean a bunch!
so it was more like a circus walking or dancing on glass while playing zills and remembering
to smile.
hahaha
as soon as i got onto stage i had sharp glass beads stuck to the bottom of
my feet & my head went blank.
all i could think about was, how can i get these out of my feet while dancing.
=/


the day after the solstice hafla i was beat.
so hung over from dinner where our bartender had a heavy hand....
i wanted to call into work sick.
but
i do not have the job i can really do that.
so i went to work on my drunken deathbed, somehow i managed to survive...
i think i managed because i was going to see amazing dancers perform.
met my friends at Greek Cusina  & saw
Aziza,
Blue Lotus Dance Company Bollywood style belly dance troupe that are AWESOME!
Belly Dance Soul Fire
and
Rachel Brice who was so amazing live!!!!!!
also it was cool because she sat at the table next to ours, so i got to
keep looking at her fucking amazing outfit
hahaha

this past weekend was the AntiHoliday Party we (Power Circus) played
show was fun for sure, playing live is always hard
for some reaon onstage the sound is always off & you can never feel like you are playing the right things.
so one can not get into the groove in a way.
i hear our set was really really good.
couple of people cried!
yeah, insane i know.
they said the music was intense, i like that.
:)
i did look up a couple of times & saw the crowd totally dancing, now that was fun!
 
alright enough for now.
i really wish my post from this morning worked,
i hate trying to remember all the fun things i must have said.
hahaha
yeah right
ok
enjoy the video.
if it works....
