Last time I performed my Meleya Leff, I accidentally give the organizer my generic introduction as opposed to one that explains a little bit about the style. I normally get a really good audience response to my Meleya Leff, even when there's a lot of non-dancers in the crowd, but that time? Hoo boy, I could feel the "WTF????" vibes coming off the audience in waves almost the minute I hit the stage. I'm still kicking myself for the oversight.
