I'm laying here with a fever and horrible sore throat. First time I've ever canceled class. I've always been able to get a sub if I'm out of town or unable to dance. Feeling guilty.
Anyhow, I'm laying here in bed thinking about staying updated in dance style. Is it important? What if you don't like the current trend? Is it legitimate to be a classic style dancer without jumping on the latest style bandwagon? I'd rather dance like Suheir or Fifi than Randa. Not that I don't like Randa, I just don't think her style suits me. I add in new Egyptian style movements that I like, but I usually stick to a classic format with new style costumes and newer recordings of classic songs. Does this make me look dated? If I look dated does it matter? I'm not dancing in fancy places in Egypt. I've been comfortable up until now with what I'm doing, but I'm over-thinking and getting weirded out thinking I'm some sort of irrelevant relic.
Mid-dance-life crisis anyone? Maybe it's the cold medicine
