Sword Dancing | ||||||||||||
I look so fat in that picture!! I have lost some weight since then, though. This page is dedicated to my sword dancing. All the pictrues I have on here were taken from my Dancing in the Sun performance. I also submitted these pictures for a costume contest. I make my own jewelry and costumes. Sword dancing evolved from my lvoe of dance, mainly bellydancing. My other love is swords, so naturally the two were combined. I use a variety of music, depending on the dance. My first performance I used a song from Godsmack and the dance was the tale of Hannya and Kien. It is a Japanese story about Hannya, a blood thirsty demon, and his sword, named Kien. Hannya preyed upon Ronnin (or travelling, low class samurai). From this story I spawned an idea for a play. The play is still in my head, because I'm focused on a boat-load of other stories that came before it. Anyhow, I haven't been performing lately because of my location. I'm surrounded by quiet and solitude, so the nearest town with a performance hall is about an hour away. I'm mainly searching for a part time job and haven't had much luck!! | ||||||||||||
