GIG

I graduated to larger wicks last night, now we're swinging with power! :P I wasn't nearly as intimidated by the larger flames as I was worried I would be, and I even pulled off some of the newer moves I have been developing to integrate into bellydance routines. The reason for all this bravery is the gig I've been booked for on the 28th..as of Saturday I will officially be a 'professional' fire dancer. I've performed here and there for small groups of friends and such, but this will be my first paid gig, booked by an outside source. I'll be performing with 2 other girls from my troupe for a couple of dances, then I will have a fire dance solo with poi, and we will be doing the fire dance from faire which requires me to eat one torch. The funniest thing is, I'm more nervous about my costume and the bellydance routines than I am about my fire solo. Though the fire eating has me a bit unraveled as well.

Wind! The wind!

Curses... every time we've planned a fire session the winds decide to have a parade through our neighborhood. It' s blowing like crazy out there! Yet another night of spinning inside and longing for fire. *sigh*
