Song: Cybele (3:05) by Solace
from Bellydance Underworld
I am always heartened when I watch “stars of
movement” perform and use the same motions I also use in my dances. In a great wide world, it connects us and
makes us kindred. We share a common
language and bond in movement.
Tonight I danced with a movement artist who
inspires me to be daring, sassy, graceful, humble, poppin’, joyful, and unique -
Miss Kami Liddle. As I shimmied and
shook with the DVD version of this amazing woman, I thought about breath along
with controlled motion, and abandonment into bliss.
Today I learned I will be able to study with my
favorite dancer for two full days at the end of July. Four workshops and a headlined show filled
with Kamiliciousness. I am beyond
psyched and yet serene at the same time.
I had the pleasure of seeing Miss Liddle perform
with the Bellydance Superstars in 2005 or 2006.
Then I took a bhangra workshop with her at Tribal Revolution in
2006. And I again received the joy of
seeing her perform in 2010 with BDSS.
(It’s quite possible I also saw her with BDSS in 2008 or 2009 as
well.) Now, knowing I’ll have four full
workshops over the course of two days with her is like an amazing dream coming
true!
