I had a paying dance gig today. My friend and I danced at a nursing home, it's actually the 3rd time we've been there and the second time for money. We we're supposed to dance there to entertain my friend's elderly neighbor who was there. Unfortunately we had Hurricane Wilma and had to reschedule at a much later date and in the interim the woman died. Well, we went on Mother's Day the following year and danced as a tribute to her. When my friend contacted them to see if they enjoyed it the home invited us back for pay! It wasn't a lot but since we had previously danced for free for the pure joy we were delighted. My friend is a teacher and performer but I'm still a student so it's nice for me to be building a "bellydance resume" with workshops and performances. The elderly residents really seemed to appreciate our being there and I always feel so good after we go there I had to share my happiness.
