Okay, so I change my mind because I can do that. I’m going to keep this blog alive afterall as my belly dance blog – Yay! I’m so excited to have somewhere to post about things!
So, I’m performing on Saturday morning for the Casa Grande Shutterbugs, a local photography group who is celebrating their first year of accomplishments! They are having a barbeque and the Desert Dancers have been invited to perform. We’re honored to be invited and really looking forward to meeting everyone. AND they’re a photography group, so there’s a chance of having pictures taken!
I’ve been working on a blue costume but it, unfortunately, won’t be done for Saturday, so I’m going to go in black and silver instead, I think. I might change my mind, though. I have the skirt done – it’s a double layer chiffon skirt with the top layer being shorter than the bottom layer and a slightly different shade of blue. The bra is two-toned as well with silver dangly bits. I’m going to finish it with d-rings and an excessive tie in the back – it should come out very gypsy-hippie-boheme, which is my favorite!
I’m going to dance to the hidden track on System of a Down’s CD ‘Toxicity’ that’s all drums and very tribally sounding as well as Cheb Mami’s ‘Le Rai C’est Chic’! Quite the juxtaposition but I like it – and hopefully the crowd will like the music, too. I find really upbeat music like these two songs goes great for celebrations, parties, etc. and I really hope they go over well!
I am a little concerned about the pictures, though. I don’t photograph great and, without prior know-how, it’s hard to catch dancers in flattering positions. Oh well – it’s all for fun anyways and any pictures that are gotten are purely gravy!
