I was asked by some friends to be in a variety show they were producing. They wanted me and several of my students to be in a belly dance number. I declined on the grounds that the vision they had for the piece conflicted with my philosophy of ATS(American Tribal Style Belly dance). However, I told them Max and I did a duet, combining hip-hop and tribal belly dance. They liked it and a Pinocchio-themed piece was created! Max is most definitely the star. I am simply the back-up dancer. He steals the show anyway...I mean, how could he not? Lo and behold, they discovered Ella could do gymnastics, and asked her to be in the show as well.
At one of our rehearsals, an incredible videographer filmed the proceedings. He made this promo video and now it's on YouTube. Yup, we're famous :)

Is there going to be a video of the final productions? Or snippets of it anyway? That looks amazing.
That video was very cool - the blend of so many different dances into one night's performance must have been amazing.
I wiki'd ATSBD and it looks very fun. I tried belly dancing with some friends in college. The teacher refused to even teach me - said I was too skinny. Maybe that will be something I will try this year...
