I just got this DVD and haven't had enough time to watch the whole thing - especially the dance portions, yet. But I did watch the costuming section and loved it. Moria shared that she always has a Buddha or Ganesh somewhere on her costume for good luck and I tought, "Wow! Why haven't I ever thought of that before?!"

I am working on my confidence and fear of performing solo and the idea of adding good luck elements to my costume is very appealing to me. Already I am finding little charms and certain types of stone beads that have personal signifigance to add to my costuming and to help me feel more comfortable and confident. I think it might help with the stagefright (I'll let you know when I finally get out there).

Thanks for the great idea, Moria!
