Three of my favorite things in one place!

One rarely sees a dancer who is as talented as her. Great performance.

Yeah, I'm not sure who is more talented- the dancer, piper, or guitar player! She's one of the best reasons to go to the Colorado Renaissance Festival. The one complaint that I have with her is her costuming. She almost always seems to be wearing those long skirts, and what's going on with her legs and feet is as amazing as what's going on with her arms and stomach, but she covers it up, which is a shame.

Long skirts are kinda the norm for bellydance

It adds to the magic of "how'd she do that?"

Very nice. Oh how I miss bellydance. I still practice my belly rolls, tummy flutters, and various shimmies

Just another good reason to get out to your nearest ren-faire!

Most of the ones I've seen have worn shorter skirts than that, or they've worn tighter ones with the little... jingly... things... on them.

Either way, she's too damned good to hide half of what she's doing!!

But, Nighthawk, you've been around long enough to know that the best performers leave something to the imagination.

Alright, you make a good point...

The band is a local group called Celtic Legacy. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed watching the show yesterday.

Normally, I wouldn't feel out of place by stating that those things don't belong together but I'd be SO very wrong!

Crackin'. Makes me think I should take my pipes to Turkey so next time the family is all together we can all get on with darbukas and ud. (The ud might need amping up a bit mind).

EDIT:Just in case you don't know what a well played darbuka sounds like, this chap demonstrates it quite ably. Non of us can play it this well though. He is quite exceptional.
