Day 3

Another cold windy day. Once the rain stopped I tried my best to dance on the patio. When we get a break in the weather I'll need to make me some space to dance somewhere, somehow.

To help myself stay motivated, I bought some belly dance attire on line today for my birthday. It won't be here for a few weeks but now I have something to look forward to.

Veil Dance

New Year's Day 2011

My goal this year is to belly dance every day. So on New Year's Day I got off to a good start, but today was dark, rainy and cold. I finally got myself out there about 5 PM and did some veil work on the porch. I miss having a dance studio.  This isn't going to be any fun unless I find an indoor place to dance for the rest of the winter.

Day two...cold and wet.

Morris Dancing

Morris dancing and other photos of the LA Pagan Pride event I went to yesterday.

Morris Dancers at Pagan Pride LA

I was disappointed that there were no belly dancers at this year's Pagan Pride LA event. Or maybe if there were they left before we arrived. But there were some Morris Dancers with wonderful costumes and bells of course.
I took a wee bit of Morris Dance classes once and wish I'd gotten good enough to perform it.

Dancing and Juggling

My neighbor had his music cranked way up but I actually liked what he was playing so I danced to it out on my patio in the dark. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Then that made me think about juggling so I got out my juggling clubs and juggled in the dark too. HA.

Irvine Ren Faire

I'm getting dressed up for a Ren faire in Irvine today. I hope to see dancers. Belly dancers or country dancers or at least parades with dancers. I'm getting all dressed up. If I get a chance I'm going to dance too. This is a regular fair until 5 PM then it switches to fantasy fair mode, which I'm really looking forward to. In fact I'm going to do my hair differently for the night time event.

Beating the Heat

Today I got up before it was hot, cleared room on the patio, and did a bunch of dance stretches. I never realized how stiff I am right as I get up in the morning. I had to take it really really easy. But within ten minutes I felt much more limber.
