I made my 6th annual January pilgrimage to Ft Worth for the 3rd coast tribal belly dance festival. 4 days of workshops, shows, vendors, hanging out with my ladies from Drishti and my classes, and seeing ladies I've met from all over the state and country. It's pretty awesome.
Its neat to have it be my yearly dance check-in right at the beginning of the year. I can really see how I've progressed. Sometimes workshops have been overwhelming as my increased knowledge just lets me see how much more there is to learn, but this year I felt super proud of the progress I've made in the past year. I've devoted a lot of time, energy & money into improving my dance this year through practicing at home and taking classes and workshops, and it has paid off. Hey, apparently working hard increases your skills at stuff!
Not that I've reached my zenith or anything. I have some clear, achievable ideas of what I want to achieve next & how to get there. So, basically, I'm super inspired!
