workshop and gala show

i have to admit that i have a girl crush. bozenka is the venus de milo of belly dance. soft spoken, kind, patient, polished, graceful, accomplished in a variety of dance styles... not to mention captivating to watch and incredibly beautiful.

definitely a girl crush.

the first half of the workshop was difficult, but in a sneaky way. we were half way through the first combination before i realized how hard i was working. there are mostly professional/teacher dancers in this group and she's teaching that way. but bozenka knows just how to make it feel easy even when tripping over your feet and drenched in sweat. you just don't want to let this woman down.

we learned a terrific extended combination and spent a lot of time on technique and polish--the sort of thing you don't get beginner classes. it was extremely helpful.

emily and i saw a tad bid of charlette when we set out on our safari to find lunch. oh we walked a lot. places were NOT open and as it turns out, charlotte is not really a pedestrian friendly place. such a shme.

but the show.. oh fantastic and bozenka danced twice. we sat behind her husband, who turns out be really, really swet. he's a musician and really an easy going guy. bozenka was so funny--she was all nervous about him being in the audience. so cute, eight years they've been togther

well, more workshop tomorrow and d's coming to get me... ahhhh the relaxing!
