Since I have started law school I have only focused myself in school when in fact I know that I love bellydance so much and that I don't want to give it up. <BR/><BR/>So....I plan on starting with the Sunday class although I miss Tuesday's class. I will also try to take as much of the workshops offered. I am interested in taking workshops for zills, sword and isis wings. I think those workshops would be a great introduction of props for us.<BR/><BR/>Also, I would love the to do a show, of course when the opportunity arises and if my schedule allows it. Once the semester is over I hope on taking as many classes as I can. A minimum of 3! I said "Hope." But that may be for a short period of time b/c my schedule will be the same for next semester :(Suneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347038099374824273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624878586990508737.post-15291185672023975122007-11-07T17:37:00.000-08:002007-11-07T17:37:00.000-08:00very well put, Kara!!!very well put, Kara!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624878586990508737.post-18485977274176834052007-11-07T05:21:00.000-08:002007-11-07T05:21:00.000-08:00Although, I can not take any more than the 5-6 cla...Although, I can not take any more than the 5-6 classes I take a week, I feel I have much more to accomplish in my dancing technique. While thinking of my goals, I realized how much they have changed especially since the Student Showcase last April…So here it goes…<BR/><BR/>My current goals are to…continue to work on my performance anxiety & building confidence (it has got a lot better from a summer workshop & a recent performance)<BR/>…dedicate more time to Zilling<BR/>…not just going through a routine to go through a routine but dissecting and distinguishing each move <BR/>…pay attention to the basics-arms, hands, finger placements & movements, hip drops, shimmies, foot placements, etc….As the saying goes “A house is only as good as the foundation it is built on” (or something like that)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624878586990508737.post-73663908181915808142007-11-01T08:48:00.000-07:002007-11-01T08:48:00.000-07:00Congratulations on being a new Mrs.!

My Bellydance goals for now and 2008:<BR/>I want to become a more seasoned dancer. I want to focus more on technique and grace. I would also like to take a stab at performing with props... such as zills, wings and a sword.<BR/><BR/><BR/>To help me get there I plan to:<BR/><BR/>Pick up 1 or 2 more classes a week. I will go back to beginner to help strengthen my technique.<BR/> <BR/>I also thought taking workshops atleast 3-4 times a year. <BR/><BR/>Go see more shows. Atleast 1-2 times a month. <BR/><BR/>Read!!! Familiarize myself with the history of bellydance and all the different styles.<BR/><BR/>And lastly practice. I will go home and practice Drills and Isolations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624878586990508737.post-80391294281432000432007-10-28T06:54:00.000-07:002007-10-28T06:54:00.000-07:00I think buying a new costume is a totally legitima...I think buying a new costume is a totally legitimate goal. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
