I just came back from Virginia's show in Tokyo. It was amazing!
Last year, I took her workshop for oriental choreography. It was really fun! She was really sweet and talked to me even though she was getting ready to leave. I remember that while all the other belly dancers scheduled to come to Japan cancelled because of the earthquake, Virginia came as scheduled. It really moved me that she came to help us dance and feel happy again.
I couldn't see her show last year because I was working so I decided to go this year and I'm so glad I did! I love watching my favorite dancers because I learn so much. I love Virginia's energy and showmanship. It's so fun to watch her. I got a couple of good small ideas for when I'm pro one day that I hope she doesn't mind me borrowing :) (with credit of course!)
I ended buying her DVDs for asaya and sagat. Those are two props I enjoy and since I couldn't afford the workshops this time around. I'm really excited to work with them!
Another dancer who was really great was Zizi. She has great musicality and emotion. It was a real joy watching her and I'd like to take a workshop with her someday.
All in all in was a great night! I even got front row seats :) That's because I ordered tickets super early.
