Re: Classes in NYC?
(in Fans and Friends of Neon)
Oh, wow! Really? Can we do drop in too? I just moved to New York and am looking for a regular instructor, but I'm going to be away for the summer.... so I'd love to be able to go to one or two classes this spring before signing up for a series in ...

What do you mean by the second? What would it be?

Re: "Ballydance Show Basics" DVD Trailer + music
(in Fans and Friends of Neon)
Thanks! And I'd actually just ordered the two WDNY samba videos from Ocean State Media, since I wanted to have more cardio in my life... now it will be a while before I dare touch them! So sad. And somehow, this week, I have to orchestrate a move ...

Neon, I really have to hand it to you.
Ok, so I haven't watched the fantasy bellydance series closely enough to do a review yet (and due to a back problem, certainly haven't been able to follow along!), but I have to say that I was really stunn... read more discussion post on Sun, April 13, 2008 - 10:13 PM
Ballet for oriental dance

I took part in Autumn Ward's "Ballet Technique for Oriental Dance" workshop yesterday at Salsa International. I have pain in the weirdest muscles today (my pecs hurt, if you can believe it!) and places in my hip, and my credit card also hurts because of the Sharifwear sale they were having.... but all in all, it was great.

You obviously can't learn much ballet in two hours, but that wasn't the point of the exercise. I thought this class might be something like an introductory ballet class,... read more
Since the Ariellah workshop helped me see that I really can keep up with workshops, I'm now totally excited about all the different offerings in the CT/NY area. And... I've signed up for the Diana Tarkhan workshop next Saturday, since I really want some Egyptian in my life. Five hours worth!

I'm curious to see how it goes...
Partly because of recent online discussions, and partly because of how I'm beginning to feel about dancing, I decided that I want a name. A dance name, that is. It feels a little bit silly to have one when I'm not only not professional, but still far from performing. But then again, I am putting more time into dancing this year, and I like the idea of naming that part of my life, perhaps only as a way of thinking about how to integrate it into my normal life.

Yesterday, a treat: Princess Farhana was giving workshops in Milford, CT. I really enjoyed this, both because of the Princess's way of running a workshop and because of the warm, welcoming attitudes of the women attending. It helped me realize that the competitiveness I had felt at the NYC class was not just something I had imagined, but also, quite happily, that there are other ways of experiencing a dance class with other women. Farhana had us all say at the beginning how much experience we...

This entry is the bookend to my last, in a way.

If it doesn't take much to be discouraged in dance, it also doesn't take much to be encouraged and inspired. On Wednesday, in the drills section of my flamenco class, I finally managed to get my arms moving with my feet for a while before completely losing it all. Yes, I didn't keep it going all through the drill, but it was such a thrill to find my body parts finally - finally! -- each doing their own thing. There's almost a weird distancin... read more
