2009: A bellydance year in review!

Last night I had my last dance class of the year and it got me thinking about 2009. It was an absolutely terrible year for me, personally but in the dancing sense – it was FANTASTIC! Dance-wise it’s the best year I’ve had yet (and I’ve only had 2.5 years of it).

At the beginning of the year I would make a little “x” on the dates that I performed – unfortunately I stopped doing it halfway through the year. I’m pretty confident that I’ve performed once a month – which is fantastic for me considering in 2008 I performed about 4 times?

This year I:

• Attended my first workshop with Kimberly Mackoy – not only a gorgeous dancer, but a lovely person!
• Learnt some basic (and not so basic) ATS
• Performed with over 200 dancers on World Bellydance Day 2009
• Became unofficial substitute teacher in training for my troupe – Maya Bellydance Troupe
• Finally mastered liquid eyeliner!
• Made my very first bellydance bra
• Learnt to sew
• Hand-made my entire tribal outfit
• Made some incredible online friends
• Performed at least once a month and only ever missed 2 classes!

I hope that 2010 will hold more for me in the dancing sense and in the personal sense – I need it! 🙂 And this holiday I vow to keep dancing at least once a week (as if for class) and then extra if I can! A special thanks to YOU who read my blog – seeing the views go up constantly keeps me writing this because people are obviously coming back to read it. So thank you and feel free to comment or send me a link to your blog! I would LOVE to read it!
