When your regular classes end and you aren't sure who you are anymore.
Uh, no refunds... :lol:...when you sleep every night with your collection of zills... >.>;;;
I can't believe I just admitted to that! >.>;;;
Aww, thanks Farasha. I'm going to give a fusion class a go - not really my thing but the teacher is very good and I think the technique and drills and change will be useful. It's not like I can't tell what I'm looking at these days; with luck I will be able to avoid getting stylistically mixed up.*hugshugshugshugs* Have you thought of online classes?
Now that's unusual. And rather uncomfy, surely? I have visions of you waking up with weird circular imprints....when you sleep every night with your collection of zills... >.>;;;

Or when you're sewing on part of your costume, in the back seat, going down the freeway - while WEARING the costume part in question!
But that's for everyday stuff. I'm just starting back into bellydancing again, and I am wanting $70 bra and belt sets, $40 skirts...$140 bra and belt sets....costumes that cost $100 that can't be mixed and matched...accessories.
Ohhh believe me when I say that's cheap for costumes
I also get all jumpy about spending money on street clothes (I resent having to pay £40, which is about $60, for a pair of trousers in my length, and get a lot of my other clothes second hand), but will then happily pay an alarming sum for pro-quality costumes...
Yes, you're right, that is still really frugal for costumes. I have seen some that cost hundreds and well over a thousand dollars. I normally manage to convince myself those would look terrible on me.
Sometimes it's even true. I have the type of figure that tends to look best in solid colors and simple shapes..
It's all about priorities! I've been using the same purse for years and my coworkers tease me about it sometimes, but hey--I just bought myself a weekend workshop package in September! (And my dancing paraphernalia is going along in this purse)...
Same here. I spend very little on my regular clothes, even my work clothes or practice clothes. But I'm willing to spend large amounts of money (comparatively) on belly dance costumes because, well, they are simply worth more. The materials are more expensive and they take a lot more work and more fabric. Also, you get what you pay for! And plus, if I spent all my money on regular clothes, I'd have no money for costumes
So I won't pay more than $20 for a cute dress, or more than $30 for a pair of shoes...
