Student Performance Updates

Dear Belly Dancing Lovelies,
Happy Sunday!
See you Wednesday @the Bayou and Thursday @the Studio this week!
Wednesday is on the bayou and Thursday is at the studio.

TIP:
Warda, Warda: Practice Drop Kicks
Bounce: Practice Piston Hip Drops

MAKE UP CLASSES/EXTRA PRACTICE:
I have added the make up classes I mentioned to those of you who missed a class.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME to these. Your 10 class card will cover these classes (either as a make up if you missed classes or as a bonus if you haven't missed one. Bring your class card to all classes).

Also, Kim will be offering her house for an extra rehearsal or two. 
She will let you know when so y'all can get some extra practice in.

PRACTICE VIDEO:
I'm working on a video so you can practice the choreographies. But also, I wanted to give you the option of recording it in class on Thursday. That way, you can get the angle that you feel is most helpful to you. Also with the mirror you can film from behind and still get the front angle. 
I will go through both routines so you can get a chance to record if you would like at the end of class.

Bayou: Corner of Elaine Pl and N. Jeff Davis (along the bayou, one block off Orleans Ave between the Bayou and Carrollton)
