TV performance
Some updates. In the past weeks me and 5 more girls have been rehearsing with Orit Maftsir for two appearances on the Israeli music channel. The performances promote the Eilat festival and an Oriental dance competition that will be featured on the channel. The first dance is up online.
And here are some behind the scene pics.

Studio stuff
I got a question regarding my home studio mirrors, and I am posting the answer here just in case other people has been wondering about the same stuff.
The mirrors are 5′3”x7′3” total. I bought them as one piece, and then asked to cut them so they fit into the trunk of my car. There are 3 pieces in total, two pieces of 3′1”x5′3” and one piece of 1′x5′3”. The mirror starts 13” from the floor. It works well for dancing, however if you do floorwork or workout on the floor and you need to see yourself in the mirror then you might want to hang them lower.
