The Bridgewater Babes added some movement and colour to Mylor Hall when they performed amongst the artworks before the prize announcements on Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to Jamileh, Jasmin, Debbie, Dani, Suzanne and Christine for dancing with me and making the afternoon fun and entertaining for everyone at the art show.
To keep the dancing theme of the weekend some of the Belly Dance Amethyst Dancers, including part of the Velvet Caravan Troupe, danced at the Fullarton Markets on Saturday morning.
Despite the early rain, the skies cleared for the performance and there were plenty of market goers and stall holders to enjoy the show.
Belly dance is a great way for kids to learn different movement and have fun in the process.
During boook week Reynella Primary School invited me to be part of their Living Library. Over the course of the day I was “borrowed” by four classes from year 1 to year 7.
In each class the kids learned about the history of belly dance and had a chance to use some belly dance props, from fan veils and fans to canes and swords. Each of the classes then joined in on a mini belly dance workshop, learning basic moves and shimmies.
Another fun way for kids to experience belly dance is with a belly dance birthday party. At Heidi’s party recently, I performed for the girls and then they all dressed up in hip scarves and veils and learned to belly dance and played some dancing games. As always the veil-red-rover was a big hit and even her big brother and his friend joined in.
Thanks to Elisa, Jema & Erika for putting on a great show – well 2 actually – at the nursing home yesterday. I had a great time performing with you.
You were beautiful and added some joy and colour to the residents’ day. Much appreciated by me, the staff & the residents (mostly!!!).
Loved the solos too, Elisa!!
