I’ve recently began taking belly dancing classes at Dreams Bellydance Academy with Nathalie Zarate. I thought that it would be a fun thing to learn before my wedding in October 2010. It has been such a fun experience! Nathalie is super talented, and a fantastic instructor. Seeing that I literally have no rhythm, Nathalie says I am making great progress. I highly recommend Dreams Bellydance Academy to all brides-to-be.

So the point of this blog entry is that at last night’s class something clicked, besides my hips and finger symbols. I finally realized why Nathalie always seemed so familiar. I flashed back to a wedding that I shot early last year at the Rusty Pelican where a belly dancer performed. I remember this performance so vividly because it was during that performance I decided that one day I would take belly dancing classes. This morning, I looked back though my archives, and surely enough Nathalie was the one performing at the wedding. What a small world, although maybe not so small seeing that Nathalie is the best in South Florida.

I wanted to share a few pictures I pulled up from her performance.
