Naima dancing in NW Arkansas
Here is a video of me dancing at the Raqs Akia hafla last November. I have a sick obsession with watching myself dance on video and over analyzing how bad I think it is. "My veils sucks. Why does it always look like I'm trying to hang laundry in the wind?" " Why does it always look like I'm frowning?" "What's up with me kicking that foot?" "Bless their hearts, they clapped for me anyway."
You know, the usual.
Then I watched this video from the same night of Adira and remember it being way more awesome in person than on this video. And I am reminded that bellydance is a much more 3D personal experience that a 2D washed out video of it. More Raqs Akia videos here.
So, we're officially going canoeing this Saturday. I have not been in the sun for more that 5-10min at a time in a very long while. I bought some spf 100, have water, and a floppy straw hat ready to go.

I learned the hard way to never show a friend a video of yourself dancing, and say "I totally mess up in this one" before hand, because they will spend the whole thing going "Oh..is THAT where you messed up?" and then you're like "No...no, that wasn't it either.."
