  • What is your ethnicity?

  • @weppi91

    I am Ukrainian... but the theme of this show was about the evolution of Belly Dance in regards to it's popularity in America.

  • Great performance and I give kudos if it is improvised!(sorry,it just seems to good to be at the spur of the moment!Either way, beautiful!!!)

  • @sexyback0409 Thanks for the positifve feedback.

    To be specific, the song was MOSTLY improvised. I knew the music VERY well and had a few movements pre-envisioned for specific accents in the song ( not chor.) The only "choreographed" part of the dance was the first :20 seconds (the intro: I wanted to prepare the dance somewhat, since it was a stage performance) .... but the remaining 90% - 95% of the dance IS improvisation :)

    (As might be evident by some of the random transitions ;)
