Between Dimensions Salon #1: What You Missed
The Salon last night ROCKED! The Salon's goal is to provide a more frequent and informal venue than our Between Dimensions stage show ('cause we'd die doing that every month!) to showcase the more alternative branches of bellydance, and to give the bleeding edge of this rising art form a home. I must admit that I was a bit worried about attendance on 9/11, but we had a good turnout, and a fantastic show!
We had a beautifully liquid duet from Sophia and Diana, a hilariously sassy solo (with rockin' isolations!) from Stacy, and a stunning veil fan piece from Teuta. Deirdre and I premiered our revamped floor duet with backbends galore and an out-of-control creation (honest, not a metaphor for my artistic life...), and I learned that Kawaii no Cane is much more fun as a duet than a solo (the lovely Magdalena Voodoo was not available that evening, much to my chagrin), and that I should never wear fingerless gloves when doing cane work.
The space (171 Ave C between 10th and 11th, 9:30 every 2nd Thursday of the month) turned out to be even better to work in than I expected, and the lighting bank I brought in really worked. We are always accepting video submissions for performers, so show us your stuff!
We'll have video of the show to post as soon as possible, and I'm definitely looking forward to next month's show.
Plan on being there.
