Maybe the goth part is obvious, and the cross-dressing bit too, as the boys like to wear skirts in this house. The sheep I can explain by saying I have a 2 year old. [insert sheepish grin here, pun intended]<BR/><BR/>And yay, bellydancing! One of these years I'll take a class and learn it right and proper. Until then, I'll just have to do my silly gothic ballerina swirly dancey thingummy what is sort of inspired by bellydancers in general, tribal and otherwise.

You do not belong in shadow m'dear, and Emma is so over-exposed, I can practically see her retinas. I look closely and see that you have a pleasant expression, and 'twould've been a great photo had it been properly lit...*sigh* lighting is everything isn't it?<BR/><BR/>(Oh wait, Pantagruel just said that...sorry for repeating)<BR/><BR/>What else...my Gods, there's so much backstory here, I feel like I'm reading the Silmarillion(sp?)!!!<BR/><BR/>Nice photo of you, Phiala! You're right, beads and bells make everything more fun! Congrats on the gig both Ariandalen and Phiala; dance on lovelies! I've retired from performing (I'm pretty sure that's permanent), but lately, I've had the desire to return to class. The Tribal movement has caught my attention as well, and after many years of raqs sharqi, it feels quite freeing. I am looking foreward to learning more about it. There's a special place in Hades for bad teachers, especially for those that would squash any sort of budding creativity. Please don't let that person's inappropriateness stop you from dancing, Rubius, get out there and find someone else who inspires you.<BR/>And for that matter, anyone reading this who wants to dance...life is fleeting...dance NOW!<BR/><BR/>Hi to Gayle, didn't get to the gig this weekend, but always nice to "meet" another local! Will definatley catch up with you at the next one. When is that gig anyway??? Saturday? At Tom's on Main??? <BR/><BR/>Please update this poor airy Gemini who's been too long in the upper reaches of the atmosphere...<BR/><BR/>OK too much backstory to comment on everything, I'll simply sign off with a goodnight to all!<BR/>~Liza<BR/><BR/>p.s. in the time in took me to write this, edit this, preview this, deal with several child-induced delays, about a dozen more comments came in!!!

I was sucked into almost 5 years ago, with no prior dance experience, and now I'm in a semi-pro tribal improv troupe.
