With my Belly dancing debut (in America) coming up I decided to get some inspiration by attending a Belly Dance show. I thought it would be a good idea to invite my friends before I realized now they would be comparing me to a professional the entire duration of my dance show. Anyway we soldiered on getting a group of 6 of us to attend the show, it was really fun to watch some dancing and it got me excited for my show!

Afterwards we went out, where my friends decided they would show me a little something something on the dance floor, hmm I see I have some competition.

Finally the day I have been awaiting for arrived, it marked not only my 2 years since leaving South African soil but also the Belly Dance show. Ah, the 31st of May! A worked most of the day which meant I was too busy cleaning up apple sauce and mac and cheese to be worried about nerves. But once Amanda got home and I headed to the hall the butterflies began to set in. I was doing 2 solos, 3 group dances and had a group of about 15 people coming to watch me (Amanda and kids included.)

The show went well even though I made a few mistakes, I really enjoyed my time on stage and to see the support from all my friends was wonderful! The best moments had to be when I glanced at my 'fan row' and notice Braden dancing to the music and trying to imitate everything we were doing on stage, as well as AJ trying to get her shimmey on after the show once we opened the stage to all the kids (and adults) that wanted to shimmy, shake and isolate.
