Sadie's Swiss Bellydance Retreat 2015
I was so blessed to have been able to attend Sadie Marquardt's Bellydance Retreat in Switzerland this year. If you have never attended a retreat before, you definitely should
This is my performance during Sadie Marquardt's Swiss Bellydance Retreat 2015.
I was not expecting to perform that night, but Sadie told me that I should, so I agreed (I told her I would do anything she said, and I had to stay true to my word!).
I first heard "Ya Rayah" a few hours before the show and was very moved by the lyrics of the song. Little did I know that instead of only doing a very serious, heartfelt interpretation of this beautiful number, the musicians would surprise me in the middle of my dance with a drum solo! This is as improv as it gets!
It's been 2 years since my last performance, so I'm a little rusty, but this was a very exciting way of getting back into my bellydancing.
I'm looking forward to practicing and performing in the near future!
