yet another bellydance performance

My troupe, Dancers of the Crescent Moon, performed at Rakkasah today. I had nine hours of sleep last night, so I was rested and calm for the performance. I think it went well overall--my sword roll went well (where I go from a kneeling to reclining position, and roll all the way over with the sword still on my head--sort of like doing the cobra position in yoga and then rolling over); my troupe leader, me, and another troupe member do that particular thing, and we got applause for it.

It's a lot of preparation for these venues, and I am beat. Still, I'm so happy to be performing--a part of me loves to be onstage with something that has absolutely nothing to do with my writing, though the physical health and strength I get from studying dance. Plus, Rakkasah has a great stage, which (believe me) is important to someone dancing around with a big sword on her head.

So, not a very scintilliating post today (because I'm beat), but I wanted to brag on my sword dance a little.

Goodnite.
