Hi everyone,

Katy has been really supportive of my idea to choreograph my own simple routine, for the "Holiday Hafla". In working up a routine, I strarted to get cold feet, and got discouraged as I strarted to fear being lauged at. The only times that I had ever danced for an audience, has been in "Jazz" or "Ballet". I wanted to create a "Bellydance" solo from a segment of a Madonna song. Katy had been supportive of the idea, but I realized that the particular song would be to difficult for me. I had changed my mind, but Katy sent me an encouraging e-mail. So, I have decided that I am going to use a one minute children's song, to keep with a holiday theme. The tempo of the song is slow, but I have been figuring out a way to simply incorporate some simple "bellydance" "hip-slides" and "Shoulder isolations" with some "Ballet" 2nd and 5th position plie's. I also have some very colorful and festive, but comfortable in mind to wear. I do kind of want people to laugh at me, but not in a derogitory way. I just want to do something creative and happy. I would like to hear some of your thoughts. See you in class.

Thank you,

Chris
