I hate being sick Feels like ague, which is basically just an old fashioned term for your good old "Oh crap, I have fever and chills and I hurt all over...but other than that I'm good" kind of malady.

I sincerely doubt that a troupe rehearsal later will help any, but we'll see.

I start American Tribal Style bellydance lessons with Carolena Nericcio on Friday!
Excitement abounds
I've been dancing with my teacher (Tatseena) for about a year and a half, but I'm starting at beginner's level with ATS since some of the fundamentals might me different, I don't know.

Do you hear me, Starbucks?! These hours are INSANE.

So I had to cancel my audition for...

I'm getting a college education so that I'll be able to dance tango and talk dirty in French.

It turns out I'm a pretty good ballroom dancer -I became the teacher's demonstration partner, and an experienced dancer asked me to be his partner for the final after we'd danced together for a little bit.
Or maybe I'm just a raging sub, and really I just...
