My style's been changing quite a bit the last 6 months or so...and I'm not quite where I want to be, I'm really drawn to different styles of caberet right now, and I think that's were my focus is heading, but I'm kind of in the mood for exploring fusion with Modern and other styles of dance I've been studying.

This is my first time performing with Negara, though not my first time dancing with them, or many of the members [who are in other local bands]. What do you think, what kinds of things could I work on? Arms, posture, etc...whatever catches your eye.

Part un:

I know the video quality isn't the best [watch it high quality though, that at least makes it visable] regarding the heads and support beam, sorry for that.

Thanks for the feedback!

    You are very lovely to watch. You have such a graceful flow to your style, floating from one movement into the next, I really liked that. The main thing I saw for improvement was actually your costuming. The wrap pants you were wearing were not really attractive on you at all. You have a beautiful shape, but the pants made you look very bottom heavy and short. I hope that is okay to say, I know you were more looking for actual dance feedback, but I hate it when my dance partners let me go out in something, only to later see in the photos that it just wasn't working out like I thought it was!

      Yeah,I was trying a different costume style, and I didn't have a top that went as well with the pants, I'll work with it some more, thank you :] A skirt around it or panels might help too, I had though of that, maybe I'll try it out...

    I deliberately don't look at other people's comments before I watch the video because I want to form my own opinion.
    That said, I couldn't agree more. You are completely under-costumed given how beautiful your dancing is to watch!!
    I don't like the wrap pants on you, nor do I think the top is doing you any favors. I hate to sound harsh, but (at least on Youtube) it looks like a practice outfit.
    I really love your style though and I think a great costume would only complete the experience for your audience.
