Here’s my finished animation. It’s a little wonky in a few places, but it’ll do. 

Music is Two Gypsies by Solace. 

Love their music. A lot. Ahsas was one of the first albums I got when I started collecting belly dance music. I had the entire album on repeat for close to a month, so of course I had to borrow one of their pieces for my first belly dance animation. 

oh yeah. I finished this. Still could use some work, but for an intro class, I’m fairly happy. :)

Rachel Brice’s Datura: Tribal Fest 12 FULL PERFORMANCE.m4v (by OfficialRachelBrice)

I’m pretty sure everyone has already seen the Brice/Illan duet (I actually saw someone SMACK TALKING it. Can you imagine? Nutso.)

I haven’t seen this passed around (and the official TF youtube doesn’t seem to have a version. This is from Brice’s account.)

Well lookie there. A lovely lady in that troupe named Shanti Jourdan was one of the first people who introduced me to belly dance. She’s now a teacher and yoga instructor and I’m so happy to see her passion for the dance paying off. 
All of you rocked that stage.

Belly dance is not strictly for women. The dance has traditionally been preformed by both men and women, of all ages.

Thats me! 
I helped out some wonderful friends with one of their advertising projects.

I’ve been hesitant to post this here but I’ve decided why not! With a larger crowd, I could get more feedback.

This is me, Corinne, dancing to my husband’s original music. It’s part choreography and improvisation. It’s officially my first belly dance performance. I would love to hear your thoughts on this performance! Positive, negative, whatever. In order for me to learn and improve, I need as much feedback from fellow dancers.Thanks in advance. ^_^

The performance starts at 1:30.

Oh my gosh. For your first dance performance, WOW. Technically you are spot on, the choreography is very well put together. Your husbands music is gorgeous and complements you as a dancer wonderfully. Congratulations to the both of you!! Such good work and talent.
