Performance tonight at World Grotto

Easing in seams sucks. Or rather, I suck at it. I had to ease in four seams tonight. Learned how to do it while doing it. You know there aren’t any good Web sites that explain how to ease in seams? I found some pictures. The people in my belly dance class tried to explain…

Today was my second belly dance class. It’s been a lot of fun (and a lot of work) to attend the class. It’s usually a small class with any where from 2-6 people attending. The instructor is good at breaking steps down and then showing how to use them. I got to play with Isis…

The big day finally arrived! We met in Oak Ridge for the Secret City Festival about 2:30 on Saturday. The performance started at 3:00. It was a blast!

Today we had an extra practise for dance class. Three hours! This has been one of those amazingly full days. Knitting group in the morning from 10-2, dance from 3-7, and then work at home from 8:00 until whenver I fall over. We’re working on two choreographies: one that we’ve been learning over the holidays…

I talked with my dance instructor… We have a ton of upcoming performances with the troupe. It will definitely be exciting! As things are confirmed, I’ll post them here. Related Images:

Okay, 90% finished, but still! Finishing the costume would not have been possible without the help of one of my friends. She spent Friday evening helping me finish the belt and the vest. Yay! Awesome person. I finished sewing the trim on the belt just in time for to leave for the performance. Related Images:
