Arabesque Belly Dance held their bi-yearly show 'An Afternoon With Arabesque' which saw months of preparation come to fruition. Having had a bad bout of the flu the week before and then still recovering this past week, I was able to perform thankfully albeit not firing on all cylinders. Quite a few others had to give it a miss because they had been struck down with it. It's such a shame when you've put a lot into getting ready for a show; practise, costuming etc only to have to pull out because you're just too sick to perform. We've had a particularly bad bout of the virus this year and practically everyone has been touched by it in some way if not themself, then through family, friends
Looking forward to the upcoming student show of Arabesque Belly Dance School in which I'll be performing with the students of Arabesque, along with Guest Appearances by Desert Divas, The Spirit Inc. and Zahiya. Should be really enjoyable afternoon (and we always look forward to the yummy afternoon tea afterwards). If you're thinking of coming, then you'd better get your tickets quick as there's no door sales. Details on the flyer for how to purchase tickets.
Oh dear, a solo for a show means a new costume right? Of course right! Because we can never find the 'right one' in the wardrobe can we! No! I really shouldn't look at belly dance clothing sites, but of course, I was 'just looking' and lo and behold I saw the perfect costume for my solo! As you do. Well, I just had to get it didn't I. It didn't matter that the bra and skirt would need 'some' adjusting to fit. Of course, we make it fit, don't we. It arrived today and it is gorgeous! Lime green leopard print, silk like material, with bling and beading, from the Belly Dance Store. Just perfect for my solo!
