Hi Leila,

I think you have a lovely gentle style and it was lovely to watch.

In terms of feedback, I think the first part has a little too many chest moves?

These were my only thoughts! :D

Thank you Alosha!The magic of this dance is its interpretation, so different dancers have totally different perspectives about feeling the music and using the movements..And what's the best about it....many different opinions may fit to the same thing! :)))
I honestly appreciate every single comment good or bad!!
Actually, I think that every dancer who wants to improve the dance should act like that...Maybe I'm wrong, but it's simply my opinion :) Does anyone agree with me? :) Hey, it can be a whole new topic to discuss about!

It is a lovely dance and a lovely costume however... (not a comment on the dancing itself) the color of the costume is so very close to your skin color in the video that it just washes all of you out. I think it actually made it harder to see some of what you were doing during the distance shots, which could be the view of most of the audience. I would love to see you dance in more close quarters with this costume but perhaps on stage under such harsh lights you should consider a different outfit with more contrast. An example would be your blue outfit from the "Gala evening of "Let's dance festival", in Prague, july 2007" clip. The lighting is almost as harsh but the dark blue contrasts beautifully. (BTW I just love the dance you did there.)

Alosha, I agree with you about that!

Ariadne, thank you very much!Yes, the video is preety bad, but not so much due to the lights in the theater combined with the costume, but mostly because of the ignorant camerman who practically ruined the whole video of the concert, not only this song!This extract is even preety good, comparing to other parts!I went crazy when I saw it!But, what's done is done!I say mostly because even the lights weren't exactly how we said they should be...:-(
The video from Prague all together with the lights in the theater were done by pure professionals and I absolutely adore that video! :) And I'm glad you like the dance I did there! :))
If you have a youtube account, drop me a friend request! :)
