Tuesday night at the park

Day 165 of practice.

Thankfully it's still cool enough at night to go to the park for a little tribal practice. We reviewed moves, danced a bit, and chatted a lot. It's nice to get out and socialize a bit as part of my practice.

Dancing at the park, dancing in my skirt

Day 151 of practice.

Tonight I went to the park, where there were a bunch of lovely drummers playing live music for us. Mostly we went over tribal basics, and then had some freestyle dancing to an Ayyoub rhythm.

I left early so I could come home and practice some DC skirt combos. Still having a bit of trouble with them, I sure hope we do some good review at class on Thursday! I think I'll also run through them before or after class tomorrow. I really like Divine Chaos's style, so I want to truly commit these combos to memory for future use.

And since it's so fun to spin around in a skirt, I practiced my spotting, too! Getting better!

Dancing in the park

Day 137 of practice.

Tonight I went to the nearby park for some dance practice with fellow Tucson tribal dancers. We were fortunate enough to even have some live drumming tonight! We worked on tribal basics, fast and slow, with Fonda there to remind people how to do it right. This will probably be how I spend every Tuesday night until it gets too hot!
