As for other dance-related stuff you can do while immobilized, how about some of these ideas?
- Go through all the tapes and CD's you have, especially the ones you haven't listened to in a long time, and rediscover songs that you maybe didn't like back when you bought the music, but now they suit your taste.
- Write an article for one of the belly dance magazines on a pet subject - advice on what kind of dance floor to look for when renting a studio, how-to's in something you're good at, etc.
- Create some articles for your web site - could be advice, could be dance history/culture, could be how-to's, etc.
- Read one of the books related to belly dance that has been on your wish list a while.
- Work on a costume that you've been meaning to alter or finish.
- Watch favorite videos of performances.
In any event, I'm sending you my wishes for a speedy recovery! |
Thanks, Shira, as disappointed as I am, I have already stacked up a couple of costume projects and have decided that I will need to actually calendar my practice time at home or I will get trapped by the couch monster watching old "Law & Order SUV" reruns all summer. Without the support of regular scheduled class and rehearsal with troupemates, it's hard to establish private practice time, but putting it in my Franklin Covey will mean I HAVE to - or I have to move it to the next day and that's a chore!
Actually, I have 3 pieces of music that are new to me that I have been listening to and wishing I had time to work out a framework of entrance, exits, what costume I'd wear and now's the time. I guess I should be careful what I wish for..............................
