Sunday was great fun!

Yesterday was my recital for my belly dancing classes. It was great fun, and my nervousness to be on stage was surprisingly low. :D Yay for me!
I find it funny how performing anxiety has been for me. I wasn't too nervous the first couple of times, but then I was so nervous at my first Spectrum Festival performance I almost dropped my veil, my hands shook like crazy and I constantly felt like I needed to use the washroom. LOL
Things were a bit nerve wracking for a while after that, but the last while I have been much better. Perhaps all the tradeshows I have performed at have helped, or maybe it was the Centennial celbration in 2005 where there were 100 dancers all on the floor at the same time.....who knows, but at least I am not so nervous anymore. I can actually say I love performing, and if I could do it as a job I think I would. :D
One thing I have noticed though. I have very little memory of my Tribal performances after they are done. I really can't tell you if I did all the moves I was supposed to cuz there is just no recollection for me. Maybe it is due to the intense focus I have when I do that kind of dancing, as I don't seem to have the problem with Cabaret (especially the mistakes I make, always remember those LOL). I can't wait to see the DVD of the recital, I want to see what we looked like out there. Everyone said we were amazing! That is so exciting.

Ok, can't wait for next session.
