    Aradia's Golden Era

    here's my performance at the Massive Spectacular 2011 to Raqset Kahramana, they are the same video, but I transfered one into black and white for a vintage feel!

    That was a lovely performance and gee, I absolutely adore that costume! For all the lycra out there, I'm still smitten with the classic bedlah.

    It's always nice to see proof that you don't need to do 37 moves in 10 seconds and run around like crazy on stage! It's the sign of a really good dancer that she can make "simple" moves and walking around look interesting and keep her audiences attention.

    Well done, Aradia!

    Re: Aradia's Golden Era

    Thanks ladies!! It does take some thought to simplify the dance, when we are so used to tons of moves layered like Meissoin said, and I'm with you Jewel I love the old style bedlah with the full flowing skirts!

    Sensuous, graceful, and evocative. A visual delight. Thanks for sharing.

    Is your hair naturally curly like this? it looks fabulous! I wish I had soft, swishy waves that looked like yours.
    I'd like to give you some moral advice, but I have questionable morals.

    The moves may be simple, but, oh, the nuance!

    No I set it on those thick long bendy rods, and do the twisting technique to get the Rita Hayworth style waves!

    That was just wonderful!

    I'm so sad that I missed you when you were here in Milwaukee, WI a couple of years ago (I was on "maternity leave"). I hope you can come here again soon! You're such a beautiful dancer!!!

    Hi Aradia,

    This video popped up on my youtube homepage and I thought you should be aware of it. It seems like someone just downloaded your video and reposted it (with a loss in quality) under a different name.

    Thanks for the heads up Basma, their is no contact info on their youtube channel, one of my dancers said it's a Russian site that ads video's from various dancers. It's one thing if they add me to a favorite list, that's fine, but this looks like they actually uploaded the DVD, which, I have the only copy, so obviously they are getting better at lifting video's off youtube!
