That doesn't sound strange at all (see my comment on the thread about "sexy" and "hot" lol). In fact, it's exactly how I feel and what I hope to exude when dancing - and, frankly, all the time.</p> <p>Confidence.</p> <p>Strength.</p> <p>WOMAN. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-328445 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 17:24:34 +0000 Liz 328445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope this doesn't sound strange but I love how you look in #4. You exude confidence, strength and "woman." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327365 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 23:12:52 +0000 Arya 327365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Aida - Thanks, I like that one a lot, too! I've seen you comment about the challenging of grinning at just the right time for your timer. Well, can you imagine trying to twirl "just so", so that I ended up facing the camera in time for the click? No wonder my eyes were closed! lol I love the visible swish of the skirts, though, and my bare toes peeking out from under my skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327357 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 23:06:52 +0000 Ornella 327357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Arya. You are such a colorful personality and this just proves it more.<br /> This makes me think again about finding local belly dancers - I tried once before, but without success. Thanks for the reminder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327352 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 22:58:11 +0000 Aida 327352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great costume, and I wanted to say I really really love photo #5. The movement and expression are most excellent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327340 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 22:43:17 +0000 thimblelina 327340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this costume. And I love, love, love the coin bras &amp; belts!

Yes, the brighter the colors, the happier I am! I've just been invited to join the student troupe, so I'll get to dress up in full regalia soon! OMG! /swoon!!!</p> <p>I think that the costuming is a great draw for this style of dance. Women start out in the intro class wearing their yoga pants or whatever, but before long someone shows up wearing a choli (the short tops), or a coin belt to accentuate their shimmy, or a gorgeous full skirt, and the change in the woman is *palpable*. She is owning her form, her moves, her beauty, and offering it as a gift which is expressed through the dance. So beautiful!</p> <p>Thank you for the compliments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327303 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 21:41:39 +0000 Queen Mum 327303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow! what a beautiful costume. thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327299 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 21:38:31 +0000 Girl X 327299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you should dress up for class more often - you look like these fabrics are woven with joy, you're beaming! And that body - sizzling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327131 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:55:49 +0000 Saretta 327131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun! I bet you have a great time and get a great workout! Love the colors in your skirt(s). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-your-enjoyment-colorful-dance-costume#post-327124 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:45:29 +0000 Arya 327124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Friends! Since I've been posting borderline costume everyday wear lately, I thought I'd give you the fun of seeing me in *true* costume. Admittedly, if I could get away with it I would certainly wear something like this every day of my life. It feels *so* fun, joyful, feminine, formidable, you name it!</p> <p>I dance a style of bellydance called American Tribal Style, which is a group improvisational form of the dance, developed here in the U.S. There are many videos online if you want to see what it looks like. I would recommend looking up Fat Chance Bellydance for the best example, as their troupe leader is the founder of this style of dance.</p> <p>I don't get this dressed up for every class, but it is good to practice in something similar to what you would wear for performances, so I tend to do something similar but without the flower in my hair, extra make-up, or jingle bracelets. For an actual performance, there would be loads more bling, make-up, hair accessories, a coin bra (or similar), tassle belt, etc.</p> <p>If you have any questions, just let me know! </p>
