Thou Shalt Not Outshine Us!
Conny told us that belly dance students nowadays are a savvier bunch compared to when we first started learning the art. They have been exposed through classes at different gyms and especially YouTube.
They can usually tell someone’s standards just by watching them, so she has to work very hard to maintain her standards. Most of them will also come to class with some sort of costume, unlike us, who look like we were going to a gym. At most, we might put on a skirt or harem pants :p
We spied a few girls from another class last week, wearing more bling on their costumes than you can shake a stick at.
Not to be outdone, we made a pact to bring our own costumes to class this week so that we can show off to them. We are their seniors, after all. There’s no way we’d let them upstage us like that :p
So this week, we loitered around the reception area showing off our own blings hahaha…..
It’s a week and two lessons until our big performance. Conny has completed our choreography but we’re still a little blur. We’ll pull together in time. We always do.
Our performance is gonna be more elaborate this time with lots of position changes and formations. We’re doing a beledi, probably belly dancing in it’s most authentic form. It’s soft and flowing unlike a drum solo.
Can’t wait for the hafla, and Nath’s workshop the day after that.
