Last weekend was my very last presentation with the Damiana Levy Dance Studio in Quito. I only have 6 weeks left here and many things are coming to an end, but leaving my dance team is going to be one of the hardest things to do.

I performed two numbers this time around. The first was Bahaya- a fun, poppy, traditional middle eastern dance. Lots of shimmies and hip bumps. This one was a ton of fun and put a huge smile on my face the whole time I danced it.

The second dance was a Samay- a traditional oriental dance that actually has a centuries old history. My boyfriend recorded the video below, which is why it is zoomed in on me in the beginning. Enjoy!

Here are a couple random photos from backstage. I feel so grateful for having stumbled across this wonderful community through facebook two years ago. Sometimes it has been hard to call Quito home, but at Damiana Levy Dance Studio I was always one of the family.
