getting ready to hula

Wahoo! We finally got the internet working at the foundation, so I can send more pictures without dropping too much dough. Today Vicente and I are practicing for our big hooping-drumming debut tonight at San Viernes Cultural, the friday night cultural show of the Galapagos. It’s a big deal here, and the women of my adoptive family here have been busy trying to find something for me to wear, hehehe. I´m actually a little bit nervous, since I can´t remember the last time I performed on stage… actually, I´ve never danced on stage before… but nobody needs to know that, right? My routine is a blend of hooping, dancing, tricks, and belly-dance moves. I´m hoping it works out. It´s actually really exhausting to practice over and over again, so I haven´t really got all that much planned out except for the beginning and the end- at which point I will hopefully be twirling it around with my feet in the air… we shall see, we shall see…
