My Debut Belly Dance Performance

This is so exciting! After almost of year studying belly dance, I finally get a chance to perform in front of an audience, together with my class of course.

The performance will be during the upcoming hafla (belly dance party) where each class is required to select a routine they have learned and perform it. We are given creative license to add spice to the routine, so long as the basic steps are still there. Hmmmmmm.......this should be interesting.

My class had our very first practice last Wednesday where we decided on the routine we want to perform and discussed on costumes, accessories, etc. We decided, of all things, to do the routine beginner classes use for their warm up, mostly because as far as we know, none of the other classes are doing it. Therefore it will increase our chances of at least not ending up in the bottom of the barrel :D

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what we come up with in the end product. Hopefully I can get someone in the audience to record the performance for me. I'll only post it here in the blog if it is good :p Meanwhile, I have to schedule a recon mission to Little India soon to scout out possible shops to get our costumes.

Wish me luck for the performance!
