Days 213 and 214 of practice.
Forgive the lack of a post yesterday, I was in transit for most of the day and my hosts went to bed before I could get them to let me onto their network. Now I'm all internetted up and back to my usual shenanigans!
Yesterday's practice was split up. On the plane, I did floreos and belly rolls. I wanted to be able to say that I practiced on a plane! Then when I got in, I did some mayas to fill out the rest of my time.
Today I grabbed some space in my hosts' home after they were in bed and put on some quiet music and got some real practice going on. I really needed it. I actually had enough space to travel, which meant I had enough space to practice the Oojam Bomb ;) Tomorrow I'll probably break out the skirt and fan.

Two hours on day two hundred
Day 200 of practice. Yes, that's right, TWO HUNDRED!
Whew! Just got done spending a couple of hours practicing with my friend Dawn Sehar! We worked on the DC Skrt and Fan combos we've learned so far, and the infamous Anaya Tribal Oojam Bomb (complete with zills, much to the dismay of all of my pets). It was a lot of fun and it felt great to really dance hard and work on learning things instead of drilling basic skills or goofing off like I've done for a lot of my practice lately. It's also nice to have a friend to keep me company and laugh with me when I screw up and help me puzzle out combo notes.
Now to relax for the rest of the day... unless I decide to go to the park for more practice tonight!

Sata and Sophia Drop the Bomb!
Day 192 of practice.
Today my friend Jen, aka Sata Silversiren, came down from Tempe for a visit, and we got to spend some time practicing together. Hooray! I almost never get to practice with friends between classes. We worked on the Oojam Bomb, because it's a really hard combo and Jen has more experience with it than I do, so she was able to help me remember it.
Tomorrow we will hopefully get together again before she goes home and go back over the combos we worked on together at the Rachel Brice workshops, and maybe some skirt and fan? We'll see! Also, there will be retail therapy, because if there's one thing dancers enjoy as much as dancing, it's shopping!
