Man, I have very very very mixed feelings about the video I got from my two songs at the Yael Zarca show. Still...I'm prepping them for Youtube so I can share and we can talk.

I've picked up a new nasty habit that I think comes from teaching. My face is being crazy. It's taken on a "trying not to talk" kinda crazy movement that I think is coming from the amount I talk (in more than one language) while teaching combinations and choreos. Gotta work on that. It's new. I saw it in combination videos I made for zills but thought it was a looking at myself while filming...but, nope,  I do it when dancing now. (sigh).

I have a turn-signal wrist returning.

I am liking my arms and floorpatterns but I am falling into old habits of truncating movements in the tazsim section. I need to relax, go bigger, go slower, slow down my arms, and complete movements.

Song 1: Turkish style to Siseler.

WOO!

Cash will be a little tight until payday (the 20th) because I just paid a large sum for a bunch of flights this summer.

30JUL   Leaving  11:55 NARITA   PARIS -  PARIS     DUSSELDORF    (July 30th 19:40)
06AUG    DUSSELDORF    11:45   -  ISTANBUL    15:55
13AUG    ISTANBUL  -  PARIS   -   PARIS    -   NARITA    18:00(14AUG)
 
I've send Artemesia a FB PM about RAKS BE. I've missed the pay-by deadline of course but seeing if I can get in to do some of it. Khalida and I originally were trying to get my flight earlier for some more together time but Khalida was right in suggesting that RAKS should be the big thing I aimed for.

I've contacted Warning-san and Jill and am trying to lure them to Istanbul when I am there...anyone else lure-able?

And here is the second video from the Yael Zarca show. The occasional hand to eye (stage left eye) at the start would be because for half the song I had something under my hard contact and I am wiping away tears.

More Zarca show photos

Here are the photos from the first set.
