What in the bleepity-bleep happened to October? It was September, I blinked, and then it was November. And this month is going to be so crazy busy.
This coming weekend end the belly dance troupe is going to be learning not one, but two different choreographies; one tribal by Heidi of Plaza De Anaya, and one hip-hop by Lisa Zahiya.
My experience with Tribal Style belly dancing is minimal. I took a beginner class a few years ago and was throughly bored with it. Doing 'Hip, hip, hip, 1/4 turn." over and over again just didn't work for me. But, since this is a dance routine and not a class I imagine that it will be a little more complex and interesting.
Hip-Hop belly dance fusion. Ha! Modern, Lyrical, Broadway, Fosse, Luigi style jazz....no problem. Hip-Hop, Techno, Funk style jazz....big, big problem. I'm just not a Hip-Hoppy sort of gal. Oh yes, and we'll be learning the entire routing in 2 or 3 hours.
This weekend is going to be intense and challenging.
Then, the following weekend is the Faerie Festival followed by learning the 2nd half of the Tribal routine.
After that the focus will be on getting the house in order before Turkey Day.
During the week I'll be practicing yoga & belly dance on a daily basis, working on my Spring & Summer 2010 color report projects, finishing a few Christmas presents, and an afghan for my daughter.
As much as I hate to work by a schedule I think that's what I'm going to have to do just to get through this month.
If I'm not insane now, I will be shortly.
I hope that you have fun with the Tribal Routine! I think that beginning-level anything can be pretty boring.
ReplyDeleteI'm debating going to Faerie Festival. It conflicts with a fire spinning class that I was thinking of taking.
We won't know for sure until late next week if we will be going or not. I'm really bummed that it is only on Saturday this year. Hopefully next year it will be back to 2 days.
