I am so totally in love with
my bellydance class right now.
Most of the people in the class right now are repeating, including myself (Venus has you take Beginner I twice before you move on, which is one of my favourite things about her teaching), so the class is moving very quickly, and she's throwing in things I haven't done before just because she can. We're also working on a fairly complex piece of actual choreograph, which, YES PLEASE.
This is the song we're dancing to. It's a fabulous rock-Arabic blues cover by Natacha Atlas - the song is "I Put a Spell on You".
This is the piece I'm listening to right now, which is totally dissimilar - it's a Lebanese-style piece, about fifteen minutes long, for - I think - cabaret dancing. It is stringy and delicious. :D
Also, I have a hip scarf now. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I've been exploring bellydance videos on YouTube lately; would any of you lot like me to link to some of them?
