Well, it is now the day after my long awaited show! And yes, all went well. I think for our first show we did exceptionally well. Me and Greg.

There were at least 100 people present, heaps of beautiful dancers, lots of students, and the setting was beautiful and the food delicious and so much of it too.

I am stoked.

A few little choreography errors here and there for me, and a few others too i am sure, but i don't think there were any major problems.
Poor Yen had to start half way through because the CD Player jumped the beginning of her track!! She did so well just picked it up from where the music came on. Well done to her for that. I felt so bad and so did Greg but it wasn't his fault.

Everyone looked great and all i could see were smiling faces. The highlight of my afternoon was watching the little ones dancing in the bread. They loved it and had such a great time. I am glad the mum's didn't whisk them away early. Thanks Yasmina Mum's.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the day special. Now to start thinking about the Adelaide show and of course -  next years events.

Haha

Bye for now!

Hey  there,

I am so so so excited about my Belly Dance Show that is coming up very very soon.

Having to really push people to confirm their bookings and part with their money. I don't think people realise that i have to let the people at the venue know how many are coming well before the event.  Not to mention paying them!

Anyway, planning is coming along. Hope i can organise everything. Need helpers but people don't seem to be very forthcoming in that department either.

At least i have finally got my students enthused and they are starting to realise the importance of rehearsals. The attendance at the last rehearsal was fantastic. (That was the 2nd rehearsal). Only had one student turn up for the first one. Michelle of course my star student. Hehe.

Anyway, I will keep plugging on with the preperations, not to mention, practising for Hanan's show and  my performances with the Jewels!! Busy times, but better to be busy that bored, that is for sure.

Bye for now.

Last night the Jewels of Isis (Jan,Sandra and Kate) performed at a fundraiser in Victor Harbor. The Girls Night in for Breast Cancer.

We had a blast.

Apart from our music being a little quieter than we would have liked, we went off! We did very well. I made a couple of little errors in Kiss Kiss (our second number for the night) and Sandra made a couple of little mistakes too apparently, (So she says) I didn't really notice, but all in all we were pretty tight! 

Practice makes perfect seems to be a true comment. We aren't perfect but we are definately streamlining our performance and each time we get a little smoother.

The crowd were great, and very receptive. Smiling faces all around and at the end of our performance quite a few of the ladies joined up for a dance to the Arabic Version of Voules Vous.

Great Night. I am sure they raised a considerable amount of money for the cause too. 

WELL DONE LYN and family and friends for all your hard work organising it!!!

Well done for everyone that supported Lyn and came along and had some fun.

Hey there,

I had a really lovely week end with my daughter Chels. We spend the whole week end together.

Saturday she came to dance classes with me, in the morning and then we went into Victor and had lunch at Cafe Bavarian, which was very very yummy.

After that, shopping for some new clothes. I ended up getting 2 prs of new jeans, 3 singlets and putting a groovy billabong zip up jacket on lay by. Chelsea bought a lovely little summer dress for herself and some new undies. I bought her a couple of singlets too. The dress looks lovely on her too. Beautiful girl that she is.

Saturday night Greg, Chelsea and I went out for tea at the local hotel, and then we were really really bad role models, and showed Chelsea how to play the pokies. That was really naughtly as we hardly ever play them at all. Anyway, between the three of us we came out ahead and seeing as one of our customers payed for our dinner, it was a very nice and very cheap evening out for us. We went home and watched 'The Island' on TV and relaxed for the rest of the night.

Sunday, Chels and Greg went and had breakky and coffee at the local Aquacaf while i slogged it out on my treaddy, then Chels and I headed off to Adelaide to see the SA Children's Ballet Company perform Aladdin at the Adelaide Uni. It was fantastic, really really great and then believe it or not, we won one of the raffles. A basket of goodies. HeHe

Bye the time i got home Sun eve it was gettting a little late, but Greg and I headed off the Woolies and did our weekl shopping as usual. Got home, had tea and sloped out in front of tele again. Good movie, Hitch!!

What a great week end!! 

Feeling a lot better today. Saturday. My daughter is staying for the week end and i miss her so much lately, so it is lovely to have her home for a couple of nights.  She is such a good friend as well as a great daughter and we enjoy hanging out together.

Yesterday was good too. (Friday) I really enjoyed my private lesson with my teacher (H.A.) and the class afterwards too. Such fun and i felt very confident in my dancing for a change. I think all the practise on Sunday helped my confidence a lot.

Anyway, still weary, but it's Saturday night and i am just gonna put my feet up tonight and RELAX with my hubby and little girl!!!

Tomorrow might go and see Aladdin by the SA Children's Ballet Company in town and the Adelaide Uni??

Bliss!!
