Diva Pageant video

[alonewiththemoon]

Here I am at the 2007 Boston Viva La Diva Pageant. The male announcer at the beginning made my morning. I feel like a real belly dancer now, having been subjected to bizarre video editing. In fact, I know that in some places the footage and the music do not at all go together, so anywhere that I look way off the beat or am doing say really slow things to fast music or vice versa or the music jumps abruptly, blame the editing, not my dancing. I can see why I was not winning or placing material in the contest, but I do think it represents a good step forward in my dancing and it's given me some concrete direction about the things I need to work on. also i really need to lose weight

i'm doing a project on bellydancing in cities as creating a kind of cultural landscape that's distinct from other types of dance/movement based activities. if you wouldn't mind, could i interview you at some point for it?
