Had belly-dancing tonight

Didn't put my pedometer on until almost supper-time today so I had over 5000 steps since 5 p.m. today.

Rough time with Son after school today -- had to escape the house with S-girl for a bit.

So we are working on a beginner's routine for belly dance.

I have a handout of it so I am going to write it in here because I am highly likely to misplace the handout...

Layli Ya Ain

Intro

Grapevine right, sigh (left foot first) - 8 count
Grapevine left, place - 8 count

Verse 1

Scoop figure 8 (Right back first, total 4) - 8 count
Push figure 8 (Left front first, total 4) - 8 count
Sharqui boxstep 360 (Right foot first) - 16 count
3 point turn (Right foot and arm leading), Shoulder roll - 8 count

Verse 2

Lazy Accent Right (Right foot first) - 8 count
Lazy Accent Left (Left foot first) - 8 count
 
Scoop figure 8 (Right back first, total 4) - 8 count
Push figure 8 (Left front first, total 4) - 8 count
Sharqui boxstep 360 (Right foot first) - 16 count
3 point turn (Right foot and arm leading), Shoulder roll - 8 count

Verse 3

Egyptian walk fwd (Right foot first) - 8 count
Egyptian walk bkwd (Right foot back first) - 8 count

Scoop figure 8 (Right back first, total 4) - 8 count
Push figure 8 (Left front first, total 4) - 8 count
Sharqui boxstep 360 (Right foot first) - 16 count
3 point turn (Right foot and arm leading), Shoulder roll - 8 count

Ending

Shimmy, both arms up & down body - 8 count
Pose (Right hip accent audience)

We've currently learned up to the end of Verse 2 (though we just learned the Lazy Accent tonight).

I have the hardest time at belly dancing because I really don't like to look at myself in the mirror...

at home

At the studio (after class) so my coin belt is off

I was going to write more but I think I want to go up to bed and start reading a book S-girl loaned me.

g'night!
