alonewiththemoonHalf my foot is numb. It's an odd sensation.
I seem to have decided by non-decision that I am not going to the Bellydance Superstars show at the Regent tonight. I feel a little bad about that because I would like to support the dancers, and I'd be happy to see Bozenka again, but honestly I'd rather be dancing myself in class, not to mention saving the $30-50 that tickets cost. And I don't think that seeing Bozenka up on the stage dancing to canned music could really compare to seeing her up close with a live band. I admire all the other dancers, but none of them are truly superstar status to me. Plus the show has gotten mediocre reviews. So all in all, the non-decision is clear.
I am working on answering some interview questions, one of which is what do I see as the role of gothic belly dance in the larger world of belly dance as a whole. I'm not sure GBD--or any other style, for that matter--really has a role, as such. But it's making me do some interesting thinking about its role in my personal world of belly dance, which is really the only way I feel I can answer the question. Ponder, ponder.
