Talk about busy! MV had a great showing at the Silk Screen Gala. The fundraiser was a large event, filling the open floor of the building we were in. There were about eight acts total, and all did a good job. Kristi and I went on second and the crowd loved us. I'm really enjoying the storytelling aspect of the dance. Sean video taped the entire show, so I can't wait to see how we did! Kristi was eating fire outside the building at the beginning and end of the show, and we even got filmed by a WTAE camera man. I think the footage fell onto the cutting room floor, but the footage is out there. Did a lot of shoulder rubbing and handed out many many business cards for both MV and myself.
That was friday night. Saturday afternoon Jenda and I went down to
Ten Thousand Villages on Forbes Ave and performed with our favorite Belly Rock band Ishtar. Jenda sang to Caje Sujarije and I did a sword dance to Misurlo. On the sidewalk in front of the store. That was fun. Janin did a very nice solo, can't forget that. After Ishtar's set, Sadiqa with guests Berna and Patricia performed. I did alot of shoulder rubbing that afternoon, and talked to a very nice reporter from one of the local newspapers. He might do a story on me, which would be fun.
Tomorrow (Sunday May 10th), Kristi and I will be at the
Beach Blanket Bellydance Extravaganza at Your Inner Vagabond at 7pm. We will do our duet from the Silk Screen Gala for those who couldn't make it and each of us will do a solo. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the dancers come out.
