When I started Belly Dancing I started with the Cabaret form. I have since added
taking Tribal as well. The first performance for cabaret was at the student show
in spring 2004 at Tom Collegiate. We had fun with harem pant workshops and finding
a top that everyone would agree on.
The second performance of cabaret was a candle dance that was so much fun to do. I
must say this group was fun and I hope to be able to keep in touch with some of these
girls in the future.
Tribal - Belly Dance
Being a part of the 'Daughters of Gaia' has been such an enjoyable experience. First
with the performance that involved 16 girls with a high energy fun tribal dance. The
second time during the Tribal Epic being apart of all the tribes in Regina getting
together with the guest tribes from both Saskatoon and Winnipeg was exceptional and
unforgetable. Getting together and working as one on our tassle belts then moving
on to our turban experiences, I hope that my friendship with most of the girls lasts
for a very long time.
Other Types of Dance
Since I was five years old I have taken some form of dance. I started out with Ballet
and I have to say I loved every minute of the seventeen years in which I took Ballet. In those
seventeen years I also explored Modern, Chinese and Character Dance Forms. All of these
I took at the Youth Ballet Company of Saskatchewan. For a few years after leaving Ballet behind
I tried swimming, yoga and Tae Kwon Do. I enjoyed Tae Kwon Do immensely but eventually went
back to dance. The dance form I came back to was Belly Dance.
