You should be pleased with your performance - it was lovely! I am dying to see my open stage DVD because I don't know anyone who saw it. I don't know if Friday night was filmed but if it was I'd love to have a copy even if it was just my number. It's always useful to see what worked and what didn't.
I enjoyed meeting up with lots of people over the weekend - I was nursing an injury so I didn't take any workshops which was a shame but I made some new friends, met lots of Bhuzzers in person and saw some wonderful dancing too.
One thing that really cheered me up was the amount of young talent I saw over the weekend - it bodes well for the future of dance in the UK. As I said to Mr Copeland himself - my only complaint is 'why didn't this all happen 15 years ago when I was young enough and fit enough to keep up!'  |
Your fan-dance was beautiful Afra and very very effective and I heard little gasps of surprise when out they flowed. It was very well appreciated and a first I do believe.
I didn't really look at the other bazaars selling cab other than Mandy,Michelle and Kay ( where I bought the beauteous Madam Abla). I do have a bargain Sim now thanks to Bhuzzer Nila so I felt no reason to go near those stalls.I also spent time and money with Irene .I just love the Sharifwear and bought another pair of pants and another gypsy top. They are so good for class yet good enough for performance and to party in.I did go to some tribal bazaars and they seemed sensible enough prices but frankly I feel that tribal is something you build up yourself. I was approached by another teacher who feels herself inspired to "do" tribal and she asked me about the outfit but my answer is anything goes, you can copy the current look or go your own way.
When it comes to tribal, I wish I could have seen some good old fashioned big skirts and bloomers ala FCBD
I am getting a little tired of the tribal look-a-likes. There were some excellent dances but I wish folks would evolve their own costuming or at least vary from the norm.
