New tribe "Higher Standards in Bellydance"

2009-10-16T17:16:12Z

Hello!
I'd like to invite anyone who's interested to join our brand new tribe "Higher Standards in Bellydance", which you can join here!
tribes.tribe.net/highersta...ellydance#
Since this Tribe is about feedback, and furthering ourselves at an individual level, I thought it might be an appropriate place to mention this new tribe, since it's about furthering and improving the dance itself.
To give you an idea of what we're about, here's the introduction:
Welcome!
This tribe is for bellydancers who wish to work together to raise the standards in bellydance. Some of our goals include getting bellydance out of venues like nightclubs, separating burlesque influence from bellydance, discouraging skimpy costumes and provocative choreography, and increasing the overall image of bellydance.
If you are tired of being turned down for events or dealing with the stereotypes that belly dance is not family appropriate, or somehow lesser than arts like ballet and modern, this tribe is for you.
Why is it that the oldest dance in the world is also the most misunderstood? Ballet, for instance, is only 400 years old, whereas the roots of bellydance are estimated to have originated 6,000 to 8,000 years ago in Babylon and Egypt. Yet ballet is well known and highly respected all over the world. When the word ballet is mentioned, one envisions a highly trained dancer in a beautiful theatre. When one envisions bellydance, many different things come to mind, from ill-trained dancers in a in sleazy nightclubs, to some of the finer troupes in respected venues. We need to work together to raise the standards in bellydance, and escape the stereotypes and misconceptions that bellydance has acquired. It is time for bellydance to be portrayed and understood for what it really is. Every dancer is an ambassador to this art form, and it is every dancers responsibility to educate the public, and our students to the best of our ability.

Feedback on Improv'd solo

Hello!
Last weekend I did an improvised solo to a song by the Decemberists. Any feedback or info is appreciated. I usually don't like to do improv but there wasn't enough time to do anything except wing it. And here's what happened:

Tribal Fusion Solo...constructive feedback appreciated :)

2009-08-11T08:44:45Z

Hi all,

Here is a clip of the tribal fusion solo I just did at a benefit performance in June this year. Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated! I know I have a nervous hand "flip" issue that I'm working on being more conscious of but any help would be awesome :) This is really only the second solo I've done (I almost always dance in troupe!) so hit me with anything...every little bit helps!

Turkish flamenco fusion

2009-08-08T03:10:33Z

I uploaded a new clip of a performance where I danced to Oyku and Berk, the Turkish twins who play flamenco, fusing what I know about flamenco with my bellydance..
Sombody in the audience filmed it, and his camera work is terrible. I cut the worst parts off the video, it is a bit dark and most of the time he he only filmed the upper part of my body, but please- have a look and tell me what you think. Thanks.

When a Tribal Girl Goes Egyptian

2009-06-24T16:34:39Z

Most of my bellydance education has been Tribal Fusion and ATS/ITS. Recently I've been taking classes from an Egyptian & Lebanese style teacher and learning some of the classic bellydance pieces. The transition is being fun and challenging.

This is improv to "Inta Omri"

Here is a video that I would love to here feedback on. It is edited due to a time restriction. I know for many dancers it is tough to critique an edited video but your feedback is much appreciated. If you have an internet connection that will allow you to watch it in HQ HD I highly recommend it for seeing the detail, but on my connection it causes the video to skip.

Video capture device question

2009-05-22T17:23:25Z

Not quite sure whether this is a place to post this, but being that most people here edit, post, etc., their own videos, maybe someone can steer me in the right direction.

Currently, I have a video capture device for convering old VHS tapes, as well as converting video from our video camera. We've been noticing that when we convert video over, it widens the picture -- not something a belly dancer really appreciates, as you can imagine.

The converter worked great on our old computer, but it is not compatible with Windows Vista, hence the problem.

We would like a similar replacement as we still convert VHS on occasion. Can anyone recommend a video capture device, compatible with Windows Vista, and preferably uses 1394 Firewire? Or maybe there is something entirely different we should consider?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Solo feedback....most definitely appreciated!

2009-05-06T00:05:34Z

Hi all,

This is a rather informal video taken during a hafla I performed at in December 2008. It's one of the first solos I've ever done and it ended up being mostly improv since it was last minute, the performance area was a bit different than I thought it would be, and I'm really not used to having people so close to me (and tipping! Not that I didn't appreciate it...just kinda threw me off ;)~). I usually dance in a troupe doing tribal fusion and ATS so I'm not super comfortable on my own but I would definitely appreciate some feedback since I am continually trying to improve!

That said, let me know what you think...thanks so much for your comments in advance!

Fan Veil question

2009-04-15T15:03:52Z

I am looking to buy a pair of fan veils and wanted some feedback on good quality fans. There are a few places I have looked such as Fay's Fans which are gorgeous but a little pricey. I have heard that these fans at the link below are just as nice and could get 2 pairs for the price of Fay's. Here is the link http://stores.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-CURIO_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amewaQ3amesstQQtZkm
Has anyone bought from here and what is the quality of the fans? Thanks in advance!

java.indian/bali/tribal fusion

2009-02-27T22:51:48Z

hi all, these are two example of my indonesian/indian/belly style of fusion (plus one classical khmer/cambodian move thrown in for good measure). the first one is fast and the second one really just a demo of armwork exclusively.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlACeDK0C0g
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqa6sROFc_M

(i did film in after 7 hours of dance classes that day and was pretty pooped...so i know these are not great performances in and of themselves!!)

would like to know what people think of this style of fusion?

i don't have think skin and appreciate critical comments just as much as positive ones. :)

thanks for watching!!

Maia Alexandra and I have started critiqing each other during shows and I thought our findings may help some of you.

Maia Alexandra and I have started critiquing each other during shows and I thought our findings may help some of you.

So we have a writing tablet and pen ready.. As one dances the other is writing...” I like that...” don't like that....’ could have done this....’ don't hold back...' etc.

Then while taping another dancer we had another brain storm... have the critiquer video and talk... that way it is in the moment and no need to look away to write !

This was great help. At the last show we were at I danced in 3 different parts. With each next performance I had the feedback fresh in my head and was able to apply it right away... not a week later!!

Solo Feedback

2009-02-11T18:18:20Z

Hello!

I have a video from our hafla this past weekend. It's a solo that my teacher and I whipped together in about a week. Then I sprained my ankle. :O So here is the solo we made up in about a week and then I couldn't practice for a week up until the hafla.

Our show was mythology themed and I was King Xion who was in lvoe with Zeus's wife Hera which upset Zeus so he sent me to spin in a wheel of fire for all eternity.

Valentines Day Set Ideas????

2009-02-06T22:26:42Z

Mediterranean Hookah Lounge, where we're dancing, organizes its sets so that the first set is Oriental style and the second is fusion style (artist's choice).

Our idea right now is to do our first set in red cabaret costumes with Middle Eastern love songs with English lyrics (if possible). We both really like ME dance pop, so we're thinking Tarkan, Natasha Atlas, etc...

Our second set will be a fusion of West Coast tribal fusion with our own humor. We plan to start with "Love Song" covered by Niyaz, then break into a rock song (undetermined yet), "Fever" covered by a local Middle Eastern fusion group called Reptile Palace Orchestra (check them out of you get time! http://www.reptilepalaceorchestra.com/), and then finishing with a drum solo we always do.

Any suggestions or ideas? I really appreciate hearing all the input!

Thanks!

Feedback pleeeeease!

2009-02-05T23:07:42Z

One of my only recorded performances. I feel really confident when I'm just practicing/drilling, but I feel like when I get on stage I get ahead of myself and try to do too much stuff at once, or just completely forget all the moves I know.
so- critique me please!

Fusion feedback, if you don't mind....

2009-01-31T23:41:18Z

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYRXFd6BGNg

To note: This was only the second time I'd heard the song with the full band - the recorded version I'd gotten a week earlier didn't have the horns at all. I was also dancing on a 5 foot high 4 foot wide platform which I hadn't been expecting, so it ended up being mostly improv, as what I'd practiced and planned on doing became impossible....and I know my arms got stupid towards the end as i was exhausted. And I was wearing foot undeez, which got all bunched up under my toes, but fortunately, the part where that became a major issue wasn't filmed.

On that note, give me your worst!
Thanks!

Overall Impression/Feedback Please?

2009-01-28T19:22:47Z

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.

Hey everyone!
I'm new to this tribe =] I'm Julissa, I'm 15 and I've been dancing for 3 years so far =D.
I decided to post one of my videos for some constructive criticism. I tend to have a problem with feeling confident when I perform, I really worked on this piece and I tried to feel confident throughout the whole time I was dancing. Every time I dance I usually start thinking " OH NO! you forgot this part! oh no, what does every one else think about this? Do they like it? Am I boring?". But that performance I really tried not too and to actually enjoy myself while I'm dancing...
So what do you guys think?

Tribal fusion performance - feedback please :)

2008-11-18T00:38:12Z

This is a performance I did a little over a week ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1tsDm9qBXM.

It's mostly choreographed and utilizes some combinations/moves I learned from Samantha Hasthorpe, Kami Liddle, and Zoe Jakes at Tribal LA. I've been working on transitioning out of being more of a gothic tribal fusion dancer into going straight tribal fusion. So, this was a bit of an experiment for me on a few levels. Mostly, I was working on having more energy in the my dancing and having more energy exchanged between me and the audience.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :)

Sword Improv...

2008-11-11T16:34:24Z

This is an improvised solo from 9/22/2008. I can take constructive criticism, so don't hold back.

Here's what I think is wrong with what I did...
I wish I had shown more of what I could do in the realm of floor work. I pretty much just rolled over twice and got up...but that is the nature of improv. The beginning is a bit repetitive with the 3 step turns across the stage, but if I remember right I kinda blanked a tiny bit...I had the beginning chunk worked out but got behind time and blanked...lol Also, I don't think I should have put it on my shoulder...it was kind of a whim at the time and I didn't end up doing anything new and/or incredibly impressive once it was there, but ya live ya learn...

Soooooooo......what do ya'll see?

Sword Dance Critique

2008-11-07T00:48:07Z

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taP3GS-CcRM

The first part of the performance didn't get captured, I started off with the veil wrapped around my arms and danced for about 30 seconds before my husband realized the camera was not on. Just clarifying since it looks like I rushed the piece with the veil.

I'm looking for feedback/critique about the sword portion. I want to be cognizant of awkward movements, rushing transitions, and anything else you notice. C'mon...give it to me...I can take it. :-)

I apologize for the crazy blurry moments, the camera didn't like the glare or the dust (this was at Burning Man).

My heels hurt in heels!

2008-10-14T02:00:44Z

Is this normal? Ive taken into consideration that not only am I new at dancing in heels, but also that perhaps these particular shoes just dont fit right. Is it normal to have pain in your heels after wearing them? Or will I get used to that with time of wearing them? Im clueless when it comes to heels, as I just recently tried to do a routine in them for the first time, and it went horribly! My fellow classmates have NO problem at all dancing with heels but then again, they are used to it. So basically, Im just wondering if Im doing something wrong or if this is common for a person not used to dancing in heels? Do I need to get used to the pain? Or is pain abnormal? Am I standing in them wrong? I hear you are supposed to lean on the heel, but damn, that hurt WAY worse than simply standing evenly in them.
Sorry for the retarded questions.....but Im not savvy at all in this "dances with shoes" field. LOL!

My first improv dance

2008-09-28T01:38:15Z

I posted the first video on Bellydance Videos and then I heard about this tribe. Perfect!! I'm a beginner (6 months). I'd love some feedback. Don't be hurtful about my belly, it's taken me about 6 months to finally embrace my body, flaws and all. You'll see in the first one, I covered up, the second night, I drank a glass of wine and thought...what the heck...just try it again. Sorry that it's the same song...that's the only one I know well enough to know what is coming up next. Thanks fellow dancers for giving a baby dancer some thoughts and advice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wL_O8jd7Ks This is the first one I did.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPwhJjdMXlo This is the second one.

2008-09-20T00:02:29Z

Hello, I'm Diana, and I've been bellydancing for about a year and a half. This is my first time posting anything, this is one of my first solos....and I'm very nervous about requesting feedback, but at the same time want honest, constructive critique to be able to evolve in the art. I want to say that this is "Tribal Fusiony" style beforehand, so if you don't care for the style, don't dismiss it outright, but if you could give me technique pointers I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

My first night in the spot light.

2008-08-27T17:09:58Z

I've performed in front of people many times at various drum circles and such, but this was my first time in the spotlight (minus the minute at a coffee shop a little over a year ago before I froze and bolted. lol)

There are definitely some things about the gas mask performance I will change before I do it again. (ie: the shoulder shimmy does NOT belong here. :P, I'll be tying my falls so they don't leave a gap in the back, and I'll add a staff to the routine to make it more martial). But for something thrown together in a couple of days, I'm pretty happy with it.

I'd love to hear any pointers you may have.

Improving musicality

2008-08-13T20:23:41Z

Hi all, first post here. It really doesn't have much to do with feedback, so if you'd like to point to a better tribe where I can ask this, feel free. If you think this doesn't belong here I will have no problem having it deleted and reposting it somewhere else. But out of all belly dance tribes I am part of, it seemed to make the most sense to ask here. This is because from the various threads here you have shown yourselves to be a knowledgeable crowd... so maybe you can help me with this.

I am a fairly new dancer (less than 2 years under the belt, 7 months of Egyptian style) and I would like to improve my musicality. I know very little about Middle Eastern music, but I've started to really enjoy it. I've fallen in love with "cabaret" style but I am overwhelmed with the amount of things I need to know about Middle Eastern music and culture. For starters, though... I think I should learn more about the music. I can see now how a lot of the dance fits so well in it, like it was especially designed for that kind of music. I want to be able to dance like that. This requires that, first, I LISTEN to the music.

So, here I ask... what are some good albums that compile important songs I should know and recognize? Please, recommend "legit" Middle Eastern stuff only... I don't want anything "techno-y"or "fusion-y." What are some important artists I should know and recognize? I think this is the first step I need to take. But of course, any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Feedback, please?

2008-08-07T23:51:40Z

I wasn't going to post this, 'cause I think my musicality is a little off, but then I realized that's why I should get feedback on this piece.

I see a lot of things to improve, but I'm wondering if my hyper self-criticism is partly fueled by a current boredom with my own dance style. Suggestions? New modes of interpretation? I'd really appreciate any feedback...

Thanks in advance!

What I need help on - I got 2nd place in the Hobbyist catagory and it was a close finish.. I only missed at least tying 1st by a couple points. There is another competition in August [plug for Lillie's of the Valley] and I want to improve. I have the sheets from the judges but I know they have a tough job critiquing on the spot soooo... can you all help a dancer out.

I would appreciate if there is a section in time for a comment - give me the time area your are talking about - that way i know exactly where to look back.

Critique me...

2008-07-04T17:07:31Z

Hello all, I've been kind of lurking on this tribe, but I wanted to throw out my drum solo for feedback. This is my first full solo choreography, although I've been dancing for a couple of years. I've performed this solo about 5 times at various workshops and shows, and this was the 4th time I'd performed it in Atlanta.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FreWEVdCPto

So here are the aspects about it that I noticed:

1) bad arm posture - dropping elbows, chest is caved in at times
2) I had a tendency in this touch my stomach? Don't know what that's about as I don't do it normally
3) hip articulation ain't so hot on some places, it's a pretty athletic choreography, I think I need to build my stamina
4) got crooked on those spins in the finale - would have liked to have been more on the center of the stage
5) bra was not too secure - I know I've been "blessed" (I think it more of a curse) and I didn't tighten the bra before I went on stage, thus I look like I am falling out.

There's probably more, but that's what I can think of at the moment. I am usually a very improv artist if I am not dancing ATS or with Awalim (the dance company I am in) . This solo has been a learning experience for me and I plan to get as much out of it as I can!

Feedback for Stage Performance (Arabic/Egyptian dance)

2008-07-04T16:19:46Z

I just like to clarify the style in the header because I know I'm not qualified usually to critique tribal-fusion. My style has been going from what some people call "American Cabaret" and I am trying to move into more of an Egyptian or Arabic style of dancing. This was also my first time performing with shoes on. I remember worrying during this performance that I was boring people. I would like to know what is good and what needs work, so that I can work on improving and also make sure I highlight my strengths in upcoming shows.

This is from May...

[admin] A thought...

2008-06-29T06:24:38Z

Hi all-

I had a thought. I would love to use this tribe more, but I am not comfortable with being required to put a public link to a public video for all the world to see, just to get some feedback from a select few respected people (you folk!).

We can always post private videos and "friend" people who were willing to review us so that they could see the video... But that's an awful lot of effort on the part of the reviewer and implicitly binds them to giving at least *some* feedback -- which they might not want to do.

What do you think about having a secret shared YouTube login wherein people who were shy (like me) could post their videos yet where others could also see (by logging in with the same login)? The username and password could be shared through PMs to people who were members of the tribe. That'd at least enable more people to get feedback without having to put their rehearsals or works-in-progress up for all the world to see.

What do you think?

Tribal Fusion- feedback please

2008-06-29T01:34:09Z

We formed just last year and there's been no-one teaching tribal in our area so we've been limited to learning from youtube and dvds. We did a recent performance at a bellydance gala and we were the only tribal fusion group there and our audience feedback was great, but we want to keep working on improving and developing our style. We're all going to a tribal fusion workshop in August and will also perform at their gala. We would appreciate any constructive critiques so that we can be the best we can in time for the gala....please have a look and tell us what you think.

Hit me with it!

2008-06-13T00:20:24Z

Alright, this was last Saturday's performance at a venue in my hometown. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed myself!

Here are a few of the things I noticed: my undulations and hips were rather unfinished looking. I have this tendency to kind of sway/twist my hips instead of actually bumping/snapping them, and I need to get better about that. Twists/sways have their place, but I do them way too often, and a lot of the time it doesn't look as good as when my hips are snappier. My undulations FEEL finished, in my muscles I mean, but when I see myself do them on video, they look unfinished and I think it's because I need to learn to pull my lower abs in more, really exaggerate them so they show up through my, well... belly! I had family and friends in the audience screaming for me (can you hear 'em? Ha ha) but I still need to work on maintaining eye contact. At one point I blanked on my next move so when I finally caught up, I was about half a beat behind, which thankfully I fixed fairly quickly. Also, my makeup was a little too light, YET again. I really need to work on the whole stage makeup thing.

What say you fine folks?

Hi Ladies,

Conservatism is always a depressing thing. Not that bellydance *needed* to be censored, but according to some Saudi's it sure does. And they have the money to impress their beliefs on whole countries. Sigh. This is very, very sad indeed.

This is my first post to this tribe.
After seeing such great feedback from all of you ladies here I decided to post my video and I'm reeeeeeally curious what you're going to say :)

This is a video taken by a professionall camerman in an improvised studio so I it was a bit harder and I was nervous thinking how it has to be perfect ( and it never is :) ) ...

Here is the link :

It is sooo diferent to be filmed in a studio and when performing (at least to me ) so I want to learn form this video as much as I can so that the next time when I'm going to make a video like this it will better as much it can be :)

Thank you for you feedback!

2008-05-26T04:30:31Z

I hesitated to post this because it wasn't really finished when I performed it & improv is REALLY not my thing. I had a very clear idea of how the dance should go but hadn't quite figured out how to execute some of my complicated ideas, so I had to do a simplified version here. I plan on finishing it complete with all the tricks in my mind! What do you guys think of this rough version, though? Things to work on? I notice my chicken arms for sure!

I'd love to hear your critiques on this duet. I'm sorry that the person that was taping concentrated heavily on one dancer, he said that since we were quite far apart he couldn't follow the both of us all the time. We do tend to have a much wider stand than what you would use in ATS when we have to"cover" a larger space. Makes us more visible by everybody when they are sitted at a distance in a large circle, and we try to compensate the distance keeping alive the "spech" betwen dancers with eye contact, but I wonder how much we loose in choesion from an aestethic point of view.
Critiques of any kind would be very appreciated.
Thank ladies!

2008-05-18T17:51:13Z

I recently completed this belt - a regular studded leather belt to which I added yarn fringe and coins - and wore it in a couple of performances. After one performance I asked a dancer I trust to critique me and one of her responses was that I needed more "flash at the hips," and I agree. I love the concept of this belt, but so far I think my execution falls a little short. I just can't really figure out what else to DO with the darn thing, especially since most of the belt is already taken up by the studs, so it's not as easy just to glue or stitch random shiny things to the leather. I was thinking about a panel of fabric in the back, maybe even bustled a little bit, buuuuut I'm not 100% sure.

Please, take a look and help me figure out how exactly this belt is falling short of the end goal - which is to be an attractive, eye-catching fusion bellydance hip garment - and how I can achieve this!

Thanks, guys. :)

2008-05-15T15:33:42Z

This is a set my troupe did at TQNW last August. We FINALLY got it up on youtube and I hope to have something more recent soon! Admittedly we were really excited and nervous and we got a great response that night but in watching the video now 8ish months later we’ve been noticing a lot of the same little issues continuing to pop up which to me seem to be related to getting distracted and/or lost no matter how much it gets practiced... Those little mess ups drive us nuts so any advice on specifically curbing that would be appreciated!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ_Sc1vLvFs

We are a fusion troupe. We do use various cultural bits and influences but we don’t claim to be anything authentic in any way. I wouldn’t call us tribal either although it is in our name from back in the day…

***This is what else I would like to know specifically:

- Were you entertained or bored?

- What didn’t work? What did? And why?

- Should we boot any of the choreographies? Should we boot any of the dancers? (haha, just kidding... or am I...)

All of us are okay with being singled out as well...

Anything else? Spill… even if you liked it ;-)

I am sure it will make you smile (at least int he second part). OH and P.S.

Duet (just for fun)

2008-04-11T01:56:34Z

This is a video of a number my troupemate and I did at a student hafla last week. I'm not looking for critique of technique particularly here, more feedback on the artistic interpretation (choreography, performance, mood, costuming, etc.). It was originally designed as a trio, then one member pulled out and it ended up as a duet. We're planning on turning it back into a trio, and polishing it up a bit, which is a why I'm asking for feedback as we think of what to change.

It's part choreography and some improv (my solo bit is improv); it was a whim of mine to do something to Edith Piaf's music, and we finished putting it together minutes before we performed. It's inspired by The Indigo's 'Serpent Rouge'.

Link: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=btNdKN7_tQg

I added some 'old film effects' to the video to help set the mood we were going for.

Thanks!

Feedback on a tribal fusion solo

2008-04-07T17:24:47Z

Would love some feedback on my new solo, performed last week at a studio student hafla:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=fdxzrI94yzA

It's the first time I've peformed it, and it's my second dance solo ever. I've already made a mental list of a number of things to fix and work on, including posture (especially tucking my pelvis more... I have a bit of lumbar lordosis, so I have to be extra-conscious of my posture), drilling so that I can keep that slow hip shimmy going while I do the chest circles, strengthening my backbends, and working on evening out the odd overly-active left wrist/stiff right wrist combo (I think it's that my right wrist is stronger, plus stiff from writing all day, and my left is weaker... also I think my teacher moves her left wrist a lot, and I may have picked up the habit from her).

Thanks!

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.
Please leave comments.

Thanks,
Mariah of Ohio

Have you seen this one yet? I posted this clip on YouTube a year ago just for the fun of it. Can't wait to hit that 100,000 viewers mark.
Please rate and leave me comments. I get a kick out of reading them.

My favorite comments;

"sadie is a far better belly dancer...but its becouse she was a gumnastic/sportsy person all her life she had a head start this women here is beautiful and if she kept at it she would be better than sadie"

"Not bad, you could stand to lose a pound or two though."

"AWESOME!!!! This from a Renn man ,,,,Don Juancho was here***leaves a rose"
