I'll tell yah when i saw the fan drop. You impressed me man. you grabbed it and went on as if nothing happened. Nervouse or not that was truly professional. My hats of to you for that dance.

Thank you, you really just made my night in saying that. I am not a professional by any means, I have been doing this as a hobby of mine for years but never did anything with it. My only other previous performance like this was at a local anime convention with an audience of about maybe 50-100 people. It totally floored me to get the response that I did. Feedback like yours is what makes me want to strive to be better and get better so that next time on stage I am that much closer to perfect.

If you want to see my first performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGgJSwwssQY

Watched every single one of them as you posted them. Why do you think i watch you man. You have a talent that entertains me and intrigues me. Seeing as i have a very good friend of mine in california that is a native of Japan by birth. I've known him since i was really little. He's been the best friend i ever had and well to honor him i show a immense respect to the japanese culture and its people. Especially the dances you did. Also 50-100 people? You said you were nervous? I SAW NOTHING OF THE SORT! You clearly had the audiences attention on you drowned out. Your focus was superb and even nailed a lot of the musical ques just right with your moves.

I am flattered at your attentions truly and dont really know what to say... especially to express my gratitudes for the words you just said to me...

-merely bows-

heh jeese man no need to thank me. I am the one that is honored.

No seriously, it's me who is. As a performer who does this for the enjoyment of others it means a lot to hear from someone who watched my performance in person to say such things. I do this for no other reason then to push boundries and just dance. But to know I capture someones attention and interest like that... it floors me to know. At the end of the performance, the only reason I had to kneel when I tossed the fan and caught it was because my legs were about to give out from the stage fright. When I got off the stage into the wings, I collapsed on the floor, I was on an adrenaline high, hearing all that applause for something I just chose to try to learn on my own... the reason I am so nervous is because I can never do a choreographed routine, they are all "live" so to speak. I learn the music, and let the music move me when I get on stage. Thank you Nanaki, know now that every performance at a con I am at, I dedicate to you.

(le blush* If only i wish i could witness those performances in real life. Unless i get a lot of cash in my pocket someday. I'll never visit AC unless a furcon opens up here in Oregon.

I hope you can make it one year. I would love to have you in the audience to watch me dance

I posted this today, it's a lil video my friend took of me dancing in practice at her place.

sorry finally got around to watching it.

Too be honest i saw no difference. You were still as focussed as you were on stage. That is a quality not all people possess. Even in the face of a fear that you were experiencing you still had the courage to pull off the dance. Be proud of that.
