Last month I attended a really great, local belly dance conference, Reigning Down on Oregon http://www.freewebs.com/zephyrdance/reigningdownonoregon.htm . I've been a tribal bellydancer for about a year and a half, and this was the first set of workshops I attended. Shimmying for 3 days, for a dozen different teachers, made something just click -- my usual teacher says there's a difference in my performance and presence.
We'll see on Saturday. Our troupe is performing at our usual monthly coffee house gig, and several out-of-town dancers are coming. The bar will be set high! I get to pull out our new move, Honor Roll, named so because we made it up while our teacher was attending an academic celebration for her child.
Similarly, my knees and hips have begun to ask me exactly what it is I'm trying to do on Monday nights and one Saturday a month. Time to investigate their concern on the yoga mat . . .
