Hacer actuar" by Jorge Eines ( miscellaneous » book reviews ) "Another good book to enhance your performance" I don't know if this book is published in English, but if you can read in Spanish, I highly recommend it. It has truly made a difference in my dance performance. It has reminded me that dancing, like acting, is a game, if you forget its playing co... read more

The Ramzys' Workshop

Last February I attended Hossam and Serena Ramzy's Workshop in Madrid. I have to say that up until now it's the best workshop I've attended! The Ramzys' ordered and well-explained program is incredibly interesting and motivating. Their compromise with Bellydance, to take it to a level of respect and responsibility, is clearly explained and transmitted by them. It has given me a new perspective not only on BD, but on arabian music and its interpretation. The Ramzys, through their proposal, have given me a completely new view , and a valuable tool, to interpret BD. I sincerely admire and feel grateful for their warmness, compromise and generosity.

My Performance

I survived! It wasn't as bad as i thought! I was very nervous before coming to stage for the first dance, but the following ones, I wasn't nervous. It was so funny: the show lasted an hour and for me it lasted 5 minutes! I had so much fun, sharing this moment with my mates, my teacher, watching my family in the audience... I'd love to dance more in public and investigate in my creativity and goal for dancing...

My d?but as a singer!

Last Sunday I sang at a Brazilian bar and... I didn't suffer from stagefright!!! I think it was because of a combination of things, but mainly because we are a band of 9 musicians and singers (we perform traditional Brazilian music) the attention wasn't centered only on me, and also because my sister is part of the band. I was amazed with myself, my hands didn't even shake once!! I had a very good time, singing, dancing samba... Good experience... I also went into this experience of singing in public and being part of a band because I want stagefright to dissapear and I thought this could be a good way to prove and "cure" myself.

Belly Dancing and Stage Fright

Next November I'll be performing again. It will be my third time on stage. The last experience was a mixture of positive and negative experiences--the bad side of it was that now, when I analyze the situation, I understand that my former teacher didn't make me feel confident and allow me to express myself as I would have wanted; and the good side of it is that I WANT to perform again, that my new teacher motivates me to express myself as a dancer. I had and still have the feeling that my former teacher was very competitive, even with her students... So, I suffered stage fright during my last performance-- at the beginning I was willing to show everything I had learnt and enjoy the experience, but I gradually became stiff and nervous. I hope this will not happen again and that it will serve me to prevent it in the future.
Now I'm also singing in a band and next Sunday is my debut, and I fear stage fright... I know it's different to dancing, but, again I'm not confident, this time because I don't know the lyrics by heart!
It's a matter of attitude, overcoming or even not encountering fear... It's strange, when I was a kid, I didn't have these tribulations, I just did things!
I'd love to hear comments from anyone!
