Extra shimmering shimmies!!
I got a response from the event coordinator. I have sent my invoice and am now working on my choreography. I have the theme/concept planned. I have the music, and I know what I want to wear. I know things will fall into place, even though it is coming up so soon, I am terrified and excited!!

so I've asked for a spot for the next Women's day...
March 8
I do not have a costume
I do not have a choreography
I do have passion and love for the dance, now I need good shimmy vibrations from allll my shimmy sisters, and brothers!!
Even if I don’t get a spot to perform, I will make a video and post it here!

It’s such an exciting moment when you are dancing, and you are trying so hard concentrating on the muscles. Then suddenly you let go and the layers happen all on their own!! Oh! Here is one happy belly dancer!!!

I have not practiced dance for a few days. I have been busy doing Yoga which is helping so much with my hips. I was feeling a bit stiff on the left side. Hopefully this coming week I will get seriously started on Sadie’s Ultimate Belly Dance dvd!!
