That's today, people! Happy dancing, everyone!


Song info:
Title: Marco Polo
Production (of this version): Carlos Ferreira
Authorship (of the original): Lorenna McKennit


Background:
My second-ever dance video posted in this channel was done to a song called Marco Polo, by Loreena McKennitt. Back then I did not have the creativity, skill, or confidence to dance for anyone (even a camera) for a whole song, so I uploaded an incomplete video.
That day I promised to my then-viewers to upload a video of myself dancing to the full song once I got better.
So when my friend and talented musician Carlos Ferreira (http://www.youtube.com/user/istrunfa) sent me his own, exclusive version of this wonderful song, I just couldn't pass up. So I chose it as my performance song for this hafla celebrating world belly dance day.

Enjoy!

    Donna

  • Thank you :)

    For a copy of the song, ask the owner. I put up his info on the side.

  • How do u do it =)

  • I accidentally removed a very sweet comment by you on my Rakkasah video when I meant to respond :( Sorry

    I was going to say I am not professional... and thank you. I am sure you are doing great with your isolations, you should post some new videos!

  • oh that's no prob =)

    thx, that encourages me...I'm making up my own choreo at the mo, but I'm the kidn of person who never ends what she begins...so I'll need to kick my ass a bit or I'll never finish it! xDD

  • I'm EXACTLY like that, which is why I never make choreographies!

    Maybe you should instead just make up short combinations to go with different rhythms, that way it'll be easier to improvise and you won't have to sit down and think through a choreography.

  • Very nice for intermediate. I like your outfit. I suggest working on your facial expressions. You look like your concentrating too much and there is a sense of discomfort. Also, you tend to pause here and there, like you are thinking about what move to do next.
