You did a gorgeous job matching the flowers to your fabrics then!

BTW, I showed some of your youtube videos to a friend last night and he absolutely loved your dancing so you can add one more fan to your list.

YAH! So I got Saida's and Yamil's Comments translated and WOO HOO THEY WERE CONSTRUCTIVE

Direct copy and paste from my boyfriend's lovely friends Anibal and Lydia. they had a hard time with Yamil's so it may not be 100% but I get the idea. Work on Expression of song, arms and spin technique.




Comments:

I like your dancing style – it’s fresh and with energy

I would watch more my arms (not so much movement)

I would have liked more interpretation

Watch the three spins technique

It has a good variety of steps.

Comments:

Improve the spin technique – Movement variety

is good for the expression it is very lineal**

always the same** [sic].

Notes: *This word is hard to read; it could be something else
** It is a run-on sentence in the original already

I am sooooo happy now. I have some clear direction on what to work on and improve... And Saida likes my style

THank you for sharing my videos Am always happy to hear when someone likes it.
And the matching is just luck and patience it usually takes a long time (MONTHS lol) to pull a costume together as its a slow process acquiring all the pieces... its also luck and obsessive compulsive searching lol.
