Week two was crazy-busy and awesome! The Canterbury class is learning the trials and tribulations of beginner-belly-rolls; the BCA students got to play with fabulous swirly silk veils, which make everyone smile and swish!
Classes with Anna & Safiya, and Bellywood with Halyma are certainly testing my limits for stamina and technique; although wishing I was in better physical shape, the joy that comes with learning new movements and combinations far outweighs any middle-aged aches and pains I may experience during and after class; despite my bitching, it’s all good, and I love it!!
I’m always happy to discover other dancers and mixed-media artists, whether it be on Facebook, or through shopping sites like Etsy…yes, I like to shop! If you’re on either Facebook or Etsy, check out Alternate Visions, for funky tribal accessories and beautiful belly dance inspired artwork. Or, check out Yl’Luria‘s blog at: http://alternate-visions.blogspot.ca/ I treated myself to one of her 8X10 prints, (see below) because I love the message of positive body-image she conveys. We’ll talk more about body-image another day, okay? Time to go practice!!
