Wow very cool!

That's a lot of progress for only six months! You are very ambitious and I LIKE THAT! I did my first solo after three years of learning. Haven't used my sword yet.  Keep on learning. You have great stage presence! Good job!

I think I saw you at TribalCon. This is really good for 6 months. I would say to watch your left hand, it seems to flip and spin a lot on its own, it's a really common problem a lot of people have :-)

oh i agree completely. for my first show my nerves really got the best of me and i was in a weird way calming myself with my hand. i did something weird with my hand a lot and my chest was dropped. fully realized that after watchin git. but ehhh i did not expect perfection from my first show

[MotherWifeandDancer]

[MotherWifeandDancer]

You did so great, Monique! Loved the sword, costume, music, all of it. See you soon!

[MotherWifeandDancer]

thank you! I wanted to save money so I made the costume minus the bra which I bought at tribalcon.
