        ah! the perceived grace and beauty of dance...
        Azul has only mastered two forms...
        the Freestyle Shake that Thing...
        and the Kissy Face, Touchy Body Slow Dance...
        and as far as outward perception of form in
        motion go, my style as embodied in the first form
        has been famously described as the ultimate
        expression of Avant-Retro Fusion in the
        Ancient form of...
        "Inebriated Pachyderm Slowly Falling Off Cliff"...

    Sometimes I have to put on the music and just boogie without watching myself and really just be a huge dork for like, three run-throughs to REALLY loosen up. Then try it again thinking for BD.

    Another thing... never underestimate how much your brain can mess with you! Don't psyche yourself out! Keep telling yourself you rock and try to trick yourself into believeing it. Positive self-talk REALLY does work sometime. Any time before I perform, I just keep saying, "I'm the shit, I rock at this, I'm the best bellydancer ever..." and try my best to believe it. The "omg, I'm awful" then comes later when I nitpick my videos :)

      well spoken Megan, words worthy of
      a well seasoned performer...
      I've played everywhere and anywhere,
      from nowhere to no one, to large soft seaters
      and festivals, and the only functional
      parameter of inertaction you have any
      control of at all is how deep you interface
      with the flow of the moment, to me if I engage
      on that level of confluence I feel a wealth
      of validation as a performer...and then, yes
      the chopping wood and carrying water of
      the process of growth in our chosen crafts...
      self analysis of technique and the mechanics of
      any Arts medium is always a minefield of sorting
      the good, the bad, and the ugly while sifting
      through unproductive conceptual perceptualizations
      gifted us by the "Bad Fairy Godmothers" who only meant
      the best for us, unh huh...

        Truth is, I had a birthday recently and seem to be going through an age crisis. "I'm too old to do/wear this or that!" HOWEVER, master-mixer DJ Ve has put together something to please both the young and old spirits that reside inside.

        Word to yo muthah!! *scratch, scratch, scratch

        DISCLAIMER: I still may change my mind!! : p
