May's Belly Dance Show

This whole week has been a whirlwind full of things, things, and more things. On the writing front, I'm closing in on 23,000 words of my new novel (which fills me with SUCH glee), but...this post is about dancing! And on Tuesday night we had what was our best, most amazing, most energetic tribal expo yet! If you're friends with me on facebook (WHAT? You're not? :( Friend me?) you've probably seen the pictures I posted.

So I'll keep this short and sweet and leave you with our group shot at the end.
The most fun-loving, supportive, beautiful, inspiring and giving group of people you'll ever find!
And my amazing dance partner Heather who keeps me inspired!

Plus here are two videos of our performances. The first is my solo and the second is our duet which...I actually messed up horribly on a few counts (you can see from the opening our music didn't start right away)--but...we had so much fun dancing, and the audience is SO amazing and full of energy, that it's currently my favorite performance, mess ups and all!




So needless to say, Tuesday and May's Tribal Expo ROCKED! We're on break from our venue for the summer, so I'm currently working out an alternative to keep the energy alive all summer long.

Also....MOAR writing!

And then I'm teaching tonight!

  1. That looks like sooo much fun!
    And holy crap woman! You write like the wind! Pretty sure you inspired me for my 10,000 words I did yesterday (but it took me from 11am-10pmish to write it all)

  2. Of course your dances look awesome, but I have to say I think my favorite part is the dog watching you from the other side of the window in the solo.

    1. HA! Of course you noticed the dog--I didn't even see him till you pointed it out--too funny.

  3. I think you are a wonderful dancer Frankie. And I admire the way you keep knocking out this manuscript!

    My whip is in a total stall right now. Yesterday, I loved everything about it. Today, I woke up hating the heck out of it. Oy!
