The workshop with Carmine I took was awesome, and then the hafla afterwords was just fantastic! We all had such a good time just eating dancing and chatting to some good live music. Everyone did such a great job with the showcase too. Haley..WOW....that little girls rocks, I think I need a lesson from her...LOL. I am so proud of her for doing a solo and then owning it. Carmine kept the music going, we were so lucky to dance to such a talented mans drum. I think my favorite part was the dance circle. Encouraging each other, doing what we love. I feel so bonded with all you ladies because we all do share a love (addiction, whatever) of dance. I find myself more comfortable with all my fellow sistas than anyone. Thanks to Yasmine and all Magic Hips for all your hard work to get the party going and thanks to Carmine for taking the time to come to Charlotte and teaching us southerners how to drum, your awesome. To my troupemate Joy, I hope you had a wonderful birthday too. Can't forget Gary for taking the troupe photos of us. We all looked beautimous in our glittetdot. I just can't wait to do it again : )
