This show was a fund-raiser, so I was hamming it up with the tipping. Played around with the audience quite a bit more than usual as far as collecting tips. Video quality not the best, but you can see pretty good how I dance.

Re: Whatcha think? Drum solo & tipping!
Mon, April 7, 2008 - 3:28 AMhey Mariah,
I thought this was great. A bit hard to see, but it looked like you were having a lot of fun with it! I found your movements to be small and precise and fitting very well with each phrase. I like that you kept it really flirty with the hair tosses and shoulder shimmies; the audience seemed to really be with you, which always makes it so much easier :)
My only suggestion is this...since it's a fairly long drum solo, when it hits that slow bit in the middle I would say to reeeeaaaallly slow it down there and play with that melody so that when it starts speeding up again it really has an impact. I also wouldn't have minded maybe a few big hip circles or something to take you out of the shimmy stuff, maybe some more undulations sans shimmy.
Otherwise I thought it was really fun to watch! I wish I could have seen your costume better; it looked lovely from what I could see. Thanks for posting!
