Aphil belly dancing on YouTube
 

I was performing in a holiday stage show last weekend, and someone videotaped! Imagine my surprise this morning when I find myself on YouTube!

I am dancing improv (my piece was not planned/choreographed ahead of time-I am making it up as I go along!) to a Greek pop music piece. At the very end of the piece, I am playing finger cymbals during the fast ending portion, but you have to turn your speakers up pretty good to hear them.

Anyhow...this is what I do! :dizzy:

Very cool :)

That was beautiful, Aphil! I have a laptop, so couldn't really hear the finger cymbals... sadness... I'll watch again from home tonight to see if I get them there! :)

oh wow. you're really good!

very nice!

Wish I could see you perform in person. Your costume is beautiful and your dancing so graceful.

you look so goooooooood.

i took a Middle Eastern dance class once. it was really fun. i should take one again!!

Thank you everyone! I have gotten asked quite often here over the years if I had any video footage of myself dancing-I finally found some posted, so I thought that I would share!

That was FANTASTIC! I never thought I'd get the chance to see you perform, I'm so glad you posted this :)

I loved it! Our local parks and rec offer belly dancing for exercise. I've been tempted to take the class. I know you've discussed it here many times. After seeing your costume, I feel I can do it. I don't have to be half clothed like I've seen belly dancers at the local Morrocan restaurant.

Wow, that's beautiful! I'm so glad to finally see you dance. :belly:

That's just great, I'm so glad you posted. At first it looked like you didn't have normal bones in your arms!

Very cool, Aphil!

Very cool! :)

That was gorgeous. You are incredibly graceful and with all that red hair cascading everywhere, contrasting with the jewel tone of your costume, you absolutely shone up there. :)
