From performing in San Francisco to studying with Egyptian great Tito to teaching my own classes, belly dance has offered me many opportunities.
I have a belly dance bucket list still, and I'm incredibly excited to combine that bucket list with homeschool travels and art studies.
1. Visit Egypt (and the rest of the Middle East)
This is number 1 on my bucket list--I want the feel, smells, and culture up-close-and-person. I'm not traveling abroad for at least another year, so this is on my five-year plan.
2. Teach Taksim Classes Professionally
I would LOVE to teach at some of the major conferences with a focus on ney and oud taksim (improv) but with both the instrument and dance.
3. Take the Journey Through Egypt Program
4. Dance Professionally at a Restaurant
This is entirely unnecessary and doesn't really pay much, but I feel it's a great way to develop audience interaction, professionalism, zill skill, and consistency.
5. Dance with Fire Fans
I'm terrified of fire candles (and fire), but fans are amazing!
What's on your bucket list (belly dance or otherwise)?
Decades ago I took a belly dancing class and it was so much fun! I encourage everyone to put it on their bucket list. Amy, I hope that you accomplish everything on your list and I look forward to reading your future posts.
A "belly dance bucket list" - that made me smile. They're wonderful goals, too. I hope they will materialize at some point, especially the Egypt trip! Tamara
I have always been fascinated with belly dancing. I love the costumes and the moves and I'm sure it's an incredible workout for you core. I hope you fulfill all your belly dance bucket list items.
What an awesome bucket list, I hope you complete it. I can see you dancing in Egypt!
