Elizabeth Strong for the 1st time in Mexico!!! Free Expressions 2009

Just wanted to share my 1st production, and my happiness of it going amazingly well. The attendance and the support provided by the government, the dance studios that allowed me to promote the event, the instructors that encourage their students to take this great opportunity because they know this is real quality and that is what a good instructor want for their students, my friends, my brother, my hunnie! Everyone! Thanks so much for helping me to make true one of my dreams and helping me build this intangible institution(as for now)! At this pace and with this amazing people, the bellydance and fusion styles would be going big sooner than I used to think!

Do not waste this opportunity! It don't matter who is organizing the event! The quality provided is what matters! This event is not for economical and personal benefit, there would be no profit! If you compare prices with other local or out of town events, the cost is VERY LOW! Elizabeth has worked with Rachel Brice, Mardi Love & The Toids, going on tour with the Bellydance Superstars, and recently is part of Jillina's new production "Bellydance Evolution"

Turkish Rom dance is richly expressive and playful, passionate and fun! Explore the looser, more folkloric side of things with Turkish Roman footwork, bellywork and very expressive arm movements of the Turkish Rom. This is a great chance to expand your knowledge of rhythm, as well as your dance vocabulary and technique. Please bring a notebook. Dance pants and a (quiet) hip sash recommended.

- Free Your Feet!

Layer movements while traveling and utilize your performance space with 2 (short) combos. Get your Tribal-Style moving! Learn to layer the hips and chest over fun traveling steps, and learn great turns to get the energy flowing in your dance and on the stage. Focus will include isolations, layering, and control of slow movements. Practice it all in two short combinations.

Bollywood Workshop

I've just took an intensive this past weekend (Oct. Sat. 17th & Sun. 18th) with Reetu Patel from Move Bollywood.
It was such an amazing experience, for me, a newbie. She finally explained to me what is Bhangra and what is Bollywood! And taught us a choreography.
It was very inspirational, since all the moves are beautiful, and and also fusioned (I am a tribal fusion bdancer). We reaaaally worked out! Lots of jumping, and in a really fast pace! I discover muscles I din't know I had hehehe, my body stil in pain!
The choreo is amazing!!! I'll post a link as soon as she upload the video to her website (as she says).
She was vey happy with how we worked! Yazmina, her students, Carmen from Ensenada and me. And invited 3 of us to join her troupe and participate in Diwali Festival in San Diego this Nov. the 14th. So I'll be dancing there! I'm totally excited about it, and that she liked my work!!
I love taking all the influences I can to enforce my dancing, and this one defintely was GREAT. I am still exahusted, but 150% happy!! Thanks Reetu and Yazmina for working this up!

You make me feel better...

Well, as I've told in my post the Horrible People, there is people who can not stand someone else's success. Sometimes it is flattering, because if you think about it, what they do means they are scared of you, they feel threatened and insecure by you, so what they are actually saying with their immature, incoherent actions is that you are good! So good that you make them shake.
Sending false messages to your friends, or subscribing your email to stupid websites, is funnie, but is their way to compliment you, they are just afraid to accept they are not as good as they wish, and they hate you because you are!
I feel sad sometimes for people like this, but, is their choice to be like that, but I guess is not their choice that other people is so good huh?
I pray for them, so they can find peace someday and learn to compliment people the right way.
As for now, I just feel better with all the stupid things they do to me. They think I'm really good!

The Horrible People

We all have listen to Marilyn Manson's song "The Beautiful People", that he wrote just to be ironic about the system and its rules.
Well, I called this post the horrible people to straightly and directly speak about some kind of people. Some people that doesn't stand that someone else is doing good, envious people, mean people, that can't stand when someone is happy and getting lots of achievements.
Recently I found out about a message sent to some of my friends and facebook contacts. A message saying that my user was fake and a fraud, 'pretending' to be a bellydancer, that in reality, was a hacker getting into their accounts to put spams on their status. And, this person, when questioned by some people about this, claimed that they had contacted me (NEVER ever this person contacted me about this issue, that is a total lie) . This is the message:
"hello friends im emailing you to warn you about a user theat hacks your account and then spam appears on your status the user name is AlejandraGE she appears to be a bellydancer but its an identity theft fraud so be careful block the fake user and tell your friends
XOXO"

First of all I am A REAL bellydancer, I have been doing it for about 6 years, and I have been dancing my whole life, so please do not try to defame me or take off the credit and respect I deserve.
I really don't know what would they get by doing this. That some people MAY delete me from their facebook friends list would do nothing to me. Would not stop me from dancing, would not make me an awful dancer like them (they called themselves dancers), and certainly would not make me a horrible person as they are.

It is obvious that my profile is REAL (I mean check my constant activity, links, info, etc), and I am no hacker, they are just making look bad themselves without me moving a finger! Sad, low people show off to the world themselves, without the need of any other to do a thing. I would not low to their level and start a stupid war even though I have plenty of info and known facts about their 'academy' that confirm their frauds, thefts, deliberate copies, and the worst of all, their lies to people.

This is funny at times, but sometimes you just get sick that people cannot see you shining! And the funniest of all, is that they do this because they feel threatened by good dancers and good dance studios, because they know their low quality, and fakeness; and they took the easy way, instead of working hard and REAL to be good, they want to defame others, copy what they do, and lots of other low acts. Getting an award due to friends influence doesn't mean you deserve the title.
An advice, worrie about your own goods, about your own friends, about your own life (if you have one); trying to make someone look bad, would never make you look good... Instead, it all comes viceversa...Just as it did in this case!

Thank god I am sorrounded by the beautiful people, and this horrible ones, make no harm at all... People I care about know me!! Yeeeessss!!!!!!

Peace y'all!
