Belly dance this week has been really busy and the classes have been really fast! Also, the temperature is quite warm so we get a lot hotter and more tired.
On Monday we practiced the choreo. A lot. Our teacher finally put us into the right positions, even though some people are still missing. We actually started with a warm up, which included many of our moves for the performance. Then we moved onto the dance. We just ran through it so so so many times, and the teacher just kept correcting our mistakes and making us better. The pressure and anxiety is really starting to increase now. I guess that is kind of good, because this is just another way I can practice coping with stress. This is also a different kind of stress from the school stress that I'm already used to.
On Wednesday, our costumes arrived!! Yay!! We spent about 40 minutes of the class just trying to match up the skirts and the top parts, since they didn't have sizes or labels. Once everyone had a whole outfit together, our teacher showed us what we needed to do so that they would fit and stay closed well. Then, we also practiced our dance. We left the skirts on, so that we could start practicing with them right away. We can't practice with the top parts until they have hooks on them to stay closed. Dancing with the skirt was sooo hard! It's like a whole different dance. We are, or I am, going to need a lot practice, and I can't believe that we only have two more classes before the performance!!
