about me
I work at home as a freelance editor of children's books. In my spare time I hang out with my husband, play video games, watch too many movies/TV shows, and belly dance.

Henna...? (in Chicago Belly Dance) This is only vaguely dance-related, sorry. XD But has anyone gotten henna done in the Chicago area? Is there anywhere you recommend or UN-recommend?

Thanks! :)

Re: Just because a "belly dancer" does it, doesn't make it belly dance! (in Belly Dancing - the Shira.net Tribe) I agree on this...even as a newbie, I sometimes see videos of dancers and think "that's not belly dance, is it?"

But my question is, then...what do you call it when it's not belly dance, but it isn't anything else either? For instance, I watche... read more

My Blog

I was messing around with my veil and Steve came in and saw me--he said "sexy", walked away, then turned back and said "it would be sexier if you were naked, though".

WTF!!! XD

I haven't done anything really dance-related for a few days. Oops. Also I've gained like two pounds in three days. OOPS.

Anyway today Steve and I went to a fundraiser event thing. We had to take the commuter rail to Salem, but it wasn't bad at all. The only part that kinda sucks is trains don't go that often on Sundays, so we had specific ones we had to make. Anyway, I went to a workshop and Steve hung out at a restaurant. The workshop was about ATS, and it was totally everything I wanted ... read more

This is only vaguely dance related. XD Steve keeps giving me compliments, saying how good I look. And he said he's really happy I'm doing dance classes, because it makes me happier and gets me out of the house and also it's hot. XD

Aaaaaand today I found out I get to do a work-trade thing for these workshops I wanted to go to! All I have to do is work a couple hours at a merch table (at a tribal bd show, even!!) next Saturday, and then I get to do TWO Zoe Jakes workshops in June for free. ... read more

(Tribe was down when I tried posting this yesterday...read all the "today"s as "yesterday"s XD)

Today I got myself some 5-lb free weights (craigslist!win), and I did some stuff with them, but I dunno what I'm doing really. XD I also walked to (and from) dance class, and I did some splits training after class, too! YAY ME

When I got to class, my teacher was writing up her lesson plans, and I asked her if we were ever going to work on veils, and she said she'd actually brought veils with ... read more

So, dance. I figured since I made this tribe account for dance purposes, I should use the blog for dance-related nonsense. :) Even if nobody will read it. XD

I first wanted to try belly dance when I was a teenager. Maybe 14 or 15. My parents wouldn't let me. I think they had <i>the stigma</i>. I danced when I was a kid...ballet, jazz, tap intermittently from 3 to 12. I never did any real shows or performances, only recitals. I wasn't the best dancer, either. After that, I became a real boo... read more
