  Hi to all, this is Nisreen.       こんにちは、Nisreenです。 The other day, we went to the concert of our favourite British rock band called ”The Darkness.” 先日、ザ・ダークネスという大好きな英国のロックバンドのコンサートに行きました。 They first broke through in the early 2000s, with songs such as "I Believe in a Thing Called Love", "Growing on Me", "Get Your Hands off My Woman" and "Love Is Only a Feeling" being particularly famous. 彼らが最初にブレイクしたのは2000年代前半。I Believe in a Thing Called Love", "Growing on Me", "Get Your Hands off My Woman", そして "Love Is Only a Feeling"などの曲が特に有名です。 My favourite is "Love Is Only a Feeling" Tickets were sold out and the venue was full. The audience was of various ages, but I got the impression that it was heavily skewed towards people in their 30s and 40s. The percentage of couples also appeared to be high. (We were the typical target audience in that sense. ) チケットは売り切れ、会場はたくさんの人でにぎわっていました。 観客の年代は色々でしたが、やはり30-40代に大きく偏って

        Hi all, this is Nisreen! こんにちは、Nisreenです。 The other day, for the first time since moving to the USA, I went and stayed out of town for a belly dance event: INBC Summer's End Belly Dance Fest. I had the great luxury of taking a workshop with Phaedra, a wonderful Chicago-based dancer, throughout the day. I also got to perform as a soloist and a Troupe Oasis member at the gala show in the evening. 先日、米国移住後初めて、泊りがけでベリーダンスイベントに参加しました。 INBCのサマーエンドフェスティヴァルです。一日中PhaedraさんというChicago拠点のとても素敵なダンサーのワークショップを受け、夜はガラショーでソロとTroupe Oasisとしてパフォーマンスをするというとても贅沢な時間でした。 It was also my very first time to learn how to use a fan veil, but I could learn a lot at the workshop, since Phaedra thoroughly taught us the basics. I also discovered a lot about shimmy variations. WSについては、私はファンヴェールの使い方を習うのが初めてでしたが、Phaedraさんが丁寧に基本を教えてくださったのでとても勉強になりました。シミーのヴァリエーションも色々な発見がありました。 As a member of Troupe Oasis, I performed Move Your Belly, choreographed by Dhalena. It is my favourite piece in Troupe Oasis' reper
