Oooooh, oooooooh, oooooooh, in a couple more days I fly off to Hawaii for a week long belly dance retreat with 2 amazing dancers, one of whom is Zoe Jakes from Beats Antique. (If you don't know who she is, look her up on youtube). It's going to be awesome!
It's a little scary because I won't know anyone there, but then again that gives freedom to meet new people. So far I've seen posts from attendees from Hawaii, Australia & Japan & people keep saying how they're excited to meet their extended tribal belly dance family, and I remember that this community is pretty darn open & friendly.
It's also a bit scary because there will be 7 hours of dancing a day, and these two ladies are serious rockstars wtih a lot of strength & skill, and it's a very honest probability that I won't be able to keep up the whole time & will be quite sore & tired by, um, day 2. But, I can always take a break and go wander around the lush landscape & watch the ocean & stuff like that. And I've been in sort of a belly dance training mode for the past 2 months, so I feel really strong.
And I am such a Taurus and love my home & my husband, so it's always a little hard to leave for more than a couple of days. But, I don't think I'll be too homesick when I look at the area I'll be staying in. (If only I could bring the kitty cat)
I guess anything involving transformation should cause a little fear. Overall this is going to be awesome!
Oh, and they will have amazing food too! All sorts of tropical fruits & fresh veggies & fish (& the other food groups too). Woohoo!
