I had a great time at Rakassah (for those of you who don't know what this is, it's a bellydance show in Oakland). My troupe shared a dressing room with Suhalia Salimpour and her dance company! :) I didn't go broke at the vending tables, just bought some pieces for my coin belt from the Fat Chance Belly Dance folks.
So, it's back to practicing now--I decided to step up the practicing a lot, as I want to know the troupe's dances like the back of my hand.
I am still tired from yesterday--there is always a big build-up to a performance and then the next day is like the day after Christmas for me. So it goes.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
