I am halfway through my tribal fusion choreo for my intermediate/advanced students. There is some pretty nifty technique in there that I am quite proud off, but the tempo changes that I put in the dance are driving me insane. Two double tempo turns, followed by a half tempo melt, and a normal tempo counter turn. Why?!? Because it is good for me, and good for them! It's a matter of practice and it does make the dance all the more interesting. I am grateful that I chose a rather straightforward song (Rondabout, the Bassnektar version) that is only 3 minutes long. This will keep them occupied for 8 weeks or so.

I finally did Khalida's shimmy dvd. Yay! it was good, steeringwheel shimmies, here I come! I have dug out all my tribal fusion dvds (Zoe Jakes, Serpentine, West Coast tribal and East coast Tribal) so I can go through several of the drills and moves for inspiration. I want to make the next semester as structured as I can. I can't help but feel like a fake for doing a tribal fusion taster this semester. I really, really like being a cabaret dancer.
