That evening, with my new 'do, I became part of the urban-chic artsy crowd, scouting out a new (to me) venue. A friend of a friend was belly dancing, so a group gathered for an evening of culture. To be honest, my one previous experience with belly dancing happened while I was visiting my grandparents and aunt in WA, where I remember oodles of cleavage and dollar-bill stuffing left a queasy impression on my young teenage mind; I was therefore eager to experience something a bit more tasteful and suitable to my adult self.
I was not disappointed.
Middle Eastern vibes, paired with elaborate scarfs (which turned into Oriental fans and created a stream of black and red waves!), added to cranium sword balancing left me speechless.
Other highlights included:
- A trip to Great Falls for an east coast version of hiking
- One of my favorite old movies
- Volunteering with the Duke Ellington Jazz Fest
- Frozen fruit popsicles
- Wishing my Grandma a "Happy 85th Birthday!"
