I'm so glad we have the new veil dance coming together.  The tissue lame veils look absolutely awesome in motion and in Tami's words, "this dance is HOT"!

Our next choreo will be to Moroccan Roll and once again it will be a group effort.  I'd also love to see some new solos or duets begin to materialize.  My goal is the variety show at Hamersville school and a gig at the Veteran's Home soon.  I'd also like to go to some bellydance events outside of Brown County.

My focus for class is to continue creating combos that we can fit into our dance vocabulary to help with improv skills.  

shimmy on,
