Another hectic but energy filled weekend!

The gathering night , less than 20 peoples show up. Look likes only those well known belly dancers gather to share the same passion and interest. I had a great time and got to know the members of dancing community very well and made some great connections with them. I am so glad I got into dancing this community rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrived home after the belly dance gathering and Angeles workshop at 10pm. I tossed all my dirty clothes on the floor and fall straight to pack for tonight performance at Safari Country Club. Bad news that Angeline called me, she got chickenpox and cannot perform. Hoho… Things happen in the last minutes and I get my mom to replace for the dinner. So kids belly dance only perform by Grace and Joey. Me, Carolyn and Irene will perform a group dance.

Angeles Workshop on 3rd Saturday - I'm amazed being able to attend her workshop. Angeles can't speak fluent English, luckily Karen Madrid was there to help to translate. I love her style when watching she dance in studio. And I missed her performance on Saturday hafla night. She really dances from her very beautiful heart - she is truly one of my "Great Inspiration”. I definitely will write to the organizer to bring Angeles back!

Paola Blanton Workshop

Another event is just around the corner....TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK ...........

Paola will be back in town in July and THIS time she is back, pack and leaving Malaysia for good. So here is a workshop is planned, in the line of a 'Gypsy workshop AND a Duncan workshop' . Although I am super busy, I specify the time to attend.


A farewell pot luck Hafla is planned that night. It will be informal.............but of course, we are always welcome to dress up. This is our final goodbye and the opportunity to learn from Paola for the last time. I hope everybody DO COME, especially those who attended the Keti Shariff's A-Z students, we have not seen each other for a lonnnnnnnnnnng time so it would be wonderful to get together again.

We will show Paola the choreographies she taught us and we'll dance to whatever we can recall during the Hafla. I will perform Prof Hassan's veil choreography (Tamr Henna) with those girls who went to Cairo with me. Hmmm... good exercise enough for my brain to recall the missing part…

Huh…. I have a seriously busy weeks!

Belly Dance Gathering at Pavillion

We will have a nice group of folks for our community gathering. Very excited! Costume dressing in performance is personal choice. For the first time in a while, I feel so relaxed about tomorrow. That's how it should be. Last night I tried on my very old casual costume, a flowy skirt and top, not heavy and comfortable. Good for me to explore in a relaxed atmosphere. Also, we will have drummers from our own circle of community. Yahoo!
