The Gulf Coast Bellydance Festival was this past Saturday. It was sponsored by The Priestess Dancers. It was my first year there and I met a bunch of really cool people. I signed up for two workshops- Drums and Egyptian dance.
I ended up with a private drum lesson from Shelly (yay for me!). I was the only one to sign up, so he helped get me started. I quickly realized I have a long way to go! If I get a quarter as good as he plays, I will be happy. It was amazing. I'm in Nashville, TN this week and I brought my drum with me to practice. Funny thing- I was listening to some tracks online from this amazing musician just two days earlier. Turns out- it was his CD! I had to buy it from him of course :)
The Egyptian class was awesome. Lady M is a great dancer and I have wanted to learn more about Egyptian dance lately. Go to YouTube and watch clips of some Egyptian dancers, like Dina. It's just so different and good. I learned tons of stuff from that workshop. I got the itch to become more knowledgeable about pure forms of Middle Eastern dance lately and there is just something about the Egyptian dancers!
I can't wait until next year :)
