Belly Dancing Nite

Thursday, 28 June 2007

I had an enjoyable time tonight even though I came in to watch only. It was a beautiful night - dancers were beautiful, costumes were beautiful, performance were beautiful. And I got to savour the different types of food that the members brought.

Didn't watch the first performance as I was busy choosing what food to put on my plate but manage to catch this last pose - covering their faces with the scarfs.



My teacher "Raven" was leading the next performance. I think she is the most beautiful dancer tonight.









Next performance. The costume of the leader was different from my teacher but equally unique and beautiful. Interestingly she sew the costume herself.







See the tattoos on their backs! Maybe not tattoos, just stick-ons. I have to ask teacher Raven



Beautiful postures of a beautiful dancer









Me and my belly-dancing friends

Jingling Away with that Belly Dance Wraps

Tuesday, 5 June 2007

It is getting more interesting as time goes. More moves and more steps. This was the 5th session. This 8-sessions of Beginners' belly dancing will end the 26 June 2007. The next 8 sessions will start on the the 3 July 2007 and registration/payment will start next week. We were advised to continue taking the Beginners' classes over and over, before we move to the Intermediate stage. There will be different moves taught each time.

Our beautiful teacher just before the class started.

The Egyptian basic moves - good exercise for the hips! You can hear the tangling beads and coins from the belly dance hip scarfs and belly chains, worn by a lot of the members, jingling as we make the various moves!
