Ohhhh! How exciting!

You will have to let us all know how it goes (and send pictures if you can!)

I am hoping to start classes at the beginning of Aug. - I am so looking forward to it!

Will you be using a sword or any accessories?

I think this is so cool!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Ok today I found the turkish track i want for my first dance,and it is beautiful,its energetic ,sensual,and it melts my heart.

so,ok I have my track,then I chose four dance steps to include in this one track and began to practise them over and over.I dont know how long i was practising but i know that once i start i dont wanna stop.

the moves need to flow a lot more,but i know this will come with practise,practise making perfect,repetition being the mother of skill.

I was dancing as if I was there already,it felt amazing.:)
I am listening to my music over and over,so I can imagine my moves,so when i am not dancing,I am still dancing!!yey!!this music i love so much it brings tears to my eyes and makes me breath so very deep.

I feel like such a different person,i cant explain in what way,for I cant find the words.Like I have found what I need to be doing to make me feel whole.
It feels so natural.so wonderful,so beautiful.

well bella harmony,no accesories for now,maybe a veil,keeping it simple and flowing ,i have never bellydanced in public not even in front of my family,i wanna realy impress myself and everyone else,i found some great tips and guides at shira's site,that has helped so much.
I am so exited for u starting your bellydancing soon,you are gonna love it,its the most amazing transformation I have ever gone through.


thankx again for all of you supporting me

hugs always

Well I'm obviously waaaaaaaaaaaay late on this! LOL

I hope it went well, how was it? Did you get a rush? Did you get butterflies on your stomach? What was your audience's reaction? What style do you dance?

I'm 38 <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> making plans for a huge party when I turn 40, too! I half-jest about my age - I'll be sad to leave my 30s as they've been *the* most fun decade so far.

Your costume sounds AWESOME!!! Will you post a pic? <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Busted! I'll have to drag out some of my pics and post them. :-)

Olive oil? Um... no. I put Oil of Olay on once a day, and that's it. No toner, no makeup, nothing. I just unearthed my makeup bag, actually, at the bottom of my bellydance bag. It's been there since my last performance... 3 weeks ago. LOL!

Oooh I love hand jewelry. :-) What kind do you have? I want a *proper* silver slave bracelet with multi-coloured stones in it. i only have one cheapie gold-coloured one now *sigh*.

Must run, work beckons!

hi,yeh i know,''sigh''.

the guy organising it was realy starting to mess around,thwen he went quiet ,so i was not so surprised,but no worries,que sera sera.

the good thing is,is that it taught me how commited i am.
my harem pants came this morning,i am so happy,i got a pair for practise and a satin pair for performing,i need to get some coins to have a go at making a bra to go with them.


i know my time to perform will come,and i will be even more prepared,so i am still dancing with the same commitment.

thankx M for being such amazing support,you are awesome:)

I love harem pants! I'm having trouble findingn ones short enough for me though... I'm only 5'1". *sigh* You can pair harem pants with a nice choli top. I bought a choli top (black) from Maharani's on ebay, and can vouch for their high quality and prompt service. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

First I bought the black version of this then I bought one of these (also in blue) hipscarves then I found a royal blue circle skirt in a local store, and paired black and silver / cubic zirconia jewelry with it. And I also added a grey / silver veil. Quite the nice combo.

Um... sorry for the rambling!

And you are more than welcome for the support. I wish you could findn a nearby class! <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
