Bellydance extravaganza-fest!

I talked Charissa into seeing the bellydance extravaganza-fest with me (she was a bit ambivalent about the whole thing). I'm glad she came - I wouldn't have gone by myself. And I think she's glad she came, too.

When we got there, we were immediately mistaken for performers because we were dressed nicely (long skirts, tight black tops, etc as opposed to jeans). Would have been nice to get in for free.... but we fessed up.

There were a lot of good performers (and a lot of average ones who forgot choreography - we appeared of a similar skill level to some!!), a lot of different styles - tribal, caberet, bollywood, drum solos etc - so I learned a lot just from watching. Our "troupe" led by our teacher looked good in a slow medative tribal number with swords (plus they had shiny glow-stick things too).

We left a little early coz it'd been a long day, tomorrow will be longer with cooking and quizzing and we were tired. Would have been nice to stay til the end, but I wasn't driving.....

But just think; next year/next time that'll be us.
