Be careful what you ask for....

one of my students, who just is beyond ecstatic about dancing, asked after MedFest when the next time would be they could dance....well...TADA...

Dancing came up for a local Tribal Hafla and the potential to send in info for another performance and then this weekend low and behold Sunday ended up with a local hafla performance for my students and rumor through last night another inquiry was made to perform. 

This last one was sort of funny since it all started with just looking to the future.  Didn't know the future was only a day away (Annie moment there)...

Well, the scramble to find students available and wanting to dance started.  Not really a toughy on who would "want" to dance, just if they were available to do so.  Well, long and short, we got the dancers pulled together and enough of them that I opted to have them fly solo.

Yes, this was the first time Tribal Mumma, as I have been deemed now, did not dance with the baby chickadees....they got to fly for the first time truly on their own.  It was exciting to see from my perspective and cute to see their reactions when they saw I was not dressed to dance. :) 

Now, I didn't set them up to freak them out, when you don't know who is going to be available, I kept all my options open.  So, I might have danced that night too.  But when it came together, I knew they could handle it and would do better if they didn't know too much in advance allowing them to stew on it and cause them more anxiety than necessary. 

I could so easily do a play by play on the performance on how wonderful they did on such, etc.   But no matter what did or didn't happen in the performance, they smiled, they took the challenge with stride, and they had a blast themselves.  While I got to watch it and take pictures of their first flight.

ucanto bellydance truly is "you can too" bellydance no matter what comes their way....I love it!

and and and...I love the announcers struggle to say "ucanto" which is pronounced "you can too".  They usually come up with an exotic sounding name sounding like "oocahnto"...makes me giggle ESPECIALLY when they realize how simple the name really is....so much fun and makes it "stick" in the brain...YAY!

Anyway...be careful of what you ask for cause it just might happen. ;)
Let's Dance!
