galadhir: a blue octopus sits in a golden armchair reading a black backed novel (Bellydancer)

So my 'absolute beginners' bellydance class have been working on a choreography since about week three (back in September.) Next week is the last week and we will have to do the whole thing.

Last Monday the instructor suggested that we should take a video of the whole thing while she danced it. I can only assume because we're supposed to be practicing it at home. I have not done this, but perhaps I'll manage a few goes through over the weekend.

I've signed up for the beginner's course again in the New Year. You have to do it at least twice before you can go on to the Improvers, which I think is honestly a good call because I still feel my brain shorting out half the time, and I can't yet do a shoulder shimmy without my hips joining in.

I'm vaguely hoping to get good enough to do a bit of Saidi, since I miss dancing with a stick, but I'm already a lifetime too late to get this good:
