I haven't been dancing (other then to workout DVDs at home alone) for awhile and its getting to me. The troupe can't seem to get its act together, and to be honest I am not sure I want to continue, as I am not too into the style they do anymore. I am not into the bouncy egyptian/turkish or folkloric stuff anymore, and I am REALLY not feeling the ren faire type stuff. I like ren faires, but the three million layers look just doesn't do it for me.

I have fallen in love with Rachel Brice and the Indigo, and that style of dancing. I want to study ATS, perhaps join a tribe/troupe that does that style. I am also getting way into the fusion style, and have put together a costume for it that I am quite proud of, the only part not done is the belt. I will post pics when its all done. It consists of Melo black mini pants, an all coin black bra layered over a black velvet bra, a yarn belt that I am making out of jewel tone purple, teal black and silver fabric and yarn, black mesh arm warmers and teal black and purple hair flowers. Now just need to find performance opportunities to show it off.

So...yeah. Kinda frustrated at the lack of dancing. I guess its kinda my own fault, with the wedding I kinda fell off the planet for awhile, but I am back to it now. And dang it, I want people to do it with!!

In other news, I am very proud of myself, Mat and I joined a gym (Gold's) and I have been going consistently 2-3 times a week. We have also started eating healthy, and cutting out soda and fattening fastfood...kinda funny now the smell or thought of Mcdonalds makes me naueseated. I have lost about 10lbs so far. So I feel better and have so much more energy.
