I saw this on bhuz & thought it was a fun thread. So how do you recognize the Belly Dancer outside their natural habitat?

Well one of my co-workers saw me dancing yesterday which is fine. He's told all our other co-workers about it. which is also fine. i'm proud with how we danced yesterday. nothing to be ashamed of. one of the foreman asked me how it went & heard i did very well. okay very nice thank you...
Here are some pics of us dancing for the Canada Day Celebration. What a great time i had. however i was soooo nervous & not sure why. i found i had a much better energry & projected a great persona. i had many people tell me that i performed much better so that's nice.

Okay if you are like me & are new to dance performing. Make a LIST everything you want to get done before he performance, makeup, check costume, jewlery etc....also make a LIST of EVERYTHING you need/want to bring with you ~sigh.~ I performed today forgot to do my lips when i did my makeup...
I'm wondering where exactly a costume should sit on the body. I understand on the hips, but i've seen pictures of costumes sitting what to me looks very low on the hips like just above pubic bone. My hips start at just below my belly button is that where the costume should sit? or should it...
Saturday's Daily Dance Quickie I really like as i have hip problems & am always looking for other stretches for my quads & hip flexors, BUT for the life of me I can visualize this stretch. Can someone break it down for me into a more simple translation...lol.

Thinking this is a good place to share makeup application tips.
~ applying liquid eyeliner. i'm not good at it with the small applicator that comes with it. i picked up this tip from watching 'what not to wear' & works well for me. i bought a eyeliner brush
i put the liquid eyeliner on...
Well after my son went to bed last night I was playing with my makeup trying a new look for performing.
I started with this tut on youtube

I didn't have the same colours she has I'll have to pick up a teal & blue purple...
I'm playing with the idea of adding some gems in a line along my forehead when I perform. Thinking when I wear a more simple costume it might dress it up. I'm going to have to play with the idea. I'm on the fence I'm not sure the look will work for me, but i do like it.
So I was looking on...
I have oily & allergric skin. Day to day i wear light natural makeup all mineral so that i don't break out in a rash all over. however the two times i've preformed i've noticed that i look shiny which i don't like. day to day i don't look shiny so i'm not sure what's causing this, maybe...
Okay I know this is going to come off sounding petty but I'm annoyed. Saturday I danced at a restaurant & did two duets with a fellow class mate. We were sitting down after our dancing & I was asking if hey when we do a certain move don't we go to the left first? she was like nope, no, no...
Okay I need some ideas. I'm dancing July 1 (canada day) along with a bunch of my class mates. we will be dancing between 11am & 11:30am Now I could wear what i wore to my hafla http://www.bellydanceforums.net/performance/12861-pics-first-hafla.html but i'm wondering if i should bear that much...
I'm not sure if i'm going to explain myself clearly so bear with me :rolleyes: Saturday i performed at my first restaurant with my teacher & about 9 other dancers. i had a friend come to watch along with my boyfriend & a friend of his. my girlfriend is an ex pro-dancer & she has never seen me...
Okay finally I have something to show from my first hafla. I've been after boyfriend to email them to me, but no he printed them. I tried scanning them at work, but that didn't work. So what I did was take pics of the pics with my cell ~sigh~ This will last until boyfriend puts them onto a...
okay i've been enjoying painting my finger nails lately. now normally i don't bother as i find i take the trouble to do the entire nail & then it chips off or doesn't last long, but i borrowed this from youtube.

According to the lady who was selling Bellydance items at my halfa in the beginning of June there's a name for the condition I have. ADOIS = Attention Deficit Oh It's Sparkly...:dance::lol: I wonder how many other dancers have this afflication?
I have to admit it does bleed through to other...
Last saturday was my student hafla a local event that was my first hafla, but also my first time performing bellydance....woo hoo. omg it was to much fun. my teacher has also asked me to perform with a few others at a restaurant next saturday. i feel very honored as she hand picked us. plus...
i was at my local 2nd hand store & found a stretch velvet dark blue extra large jump suite that i could upcycle very easily into my next costume, but it was $9. so my brain started thinking hey $9 i could probably get new fabric for $9 to do a bra & belt. What does everyone think is $9 for...
