The Author herself: Elektra Dances!

Happy 2009 everyone!

To start off the new year and to re-vive this blog, I decided to post my own youtube dance clip on my bellydance video blog. Yes... my own dance clip here and I'm going to speak about it.

This here is a sensual bellydance performance I did for a Halloween event in October 24, 2008. I must say that this is in fact my favorite bellydance clip yet. I really love this clip and for many reasons. So here's the run down...

First of all, I love the way I began this song. I decided to tease the audience at first by playing with the veil and slowly remove it from my body. Next I allowed the audience to explore the music with me and follow its enticing rhythm. I wanted my audience to fall for the music as I have and feel the sensual nature of this song.

Oh the music. Yes, this happens to be one of my most favorite songs! I had feel completely in love with it the very moment I heard it. It was love at first listen...LOL
The song alone is one of the reasons I wanted to post this video, it really is just a great song.

Anyway back to the video. I was wearing my favorite liquid midnight blue costume with its sparkly jewels. Oh how I love shinny things!!! The costume fits very well and is extremely sexy, more so that I'm actually am use to. But whatever the costume has a awesome cut and is one of my favorites... (I so have to have photos taken in it soon).

Back to the dancing itself,
I love my silky arm & hand movements. My turns were clean and fluid. I also did some breathe taking dance poses (where I stood still) within the performance and it looks really beautiful. And OMG those head tosses. I can't believe its me. Who is that sexy creature?..LOL I don't look like that when I'm doing the laundry. XD

Erika Veilz recorded this clip and she did a tremendous great job. She even did a close up of my shimmy section (love that belly close up)!!!

One of the other reasons I love this clip is because I kept true to the bellydance character. I wanted the dance to be sensual, classy and beautiful. I really feel that I pulled that all off and then some. I kept my smile on the whole time, but I always do that because I love dancing so much it really is a hard emotion for me to hid.

Ok without further Ade, here is my dance clip:

Hey did you catch that funny ending. I started to perform another song but the music stopped. Then I did what any professional entertainer would do, I continued the show anyway! I kept dancing and just laughed about it. No I didn't feel awkward at all. I love when that happens because its a great time to make the audience laugh with silliness. You can see me being goofy and loving it ;-) This is why I decided not to delete it and keep it on the clip.

I can't help it, it tickles me!
