Wow...it has been a while since I blogged. And so many wonderful and exciting things have been happening in my belly dancing world these past several weeks!
The most recent notable expedition was the day I spent with the incredible Princess Farhana at the Oasis Dance Studio in Highland, CA.
Her Royal Highness (HRH) asked me to accompany her to a day full of workshops and an evening of dance out at Politti Ashcroft's awesome dance studio. I considered myself part of the royal court for the day and hoped I would be donning a tiara at some point.
She started off the day with a fun and challenging belly dance class, followed by a burlesque workshop...where my girlhood fantasies of wearing high heels, satin gloves & a feather boa could actually be lived out... and then she finished the workshop series with a make up class.
I was the make-up "face" for the class, which was great because I got to learn all sorts of new and wonderful tips AND have my make-up done for the nighttime!
(There are some rather terrifying before and after shots of me somewhere in cyber space!)
It is so interesting to be around Princess Farhana because she inspires so many women and has an uncanny ability to make each and every woman in the workshops feel like a hot, sexy goddess. And also a little like a naughty girl, too!
Politti puts on a fantastic show in her studio at night and that night I was honored to get to dance in the show; along with some a great ATS troupe, the very unique Mandala Danceworks, a fantastic tribal fusion soloist named Edenia & the glittering glam princess herself!
It was fun...so much fun!
The more I dance and stay in this community, the more incredible experiences I get to enjoy. Learning things like; how to pull off a satin glove on stage, the best way to roll my entire belly, & which grades of glitter work best on the eyes - are all things that keep me obsessed with the world of belly dance.
