Zara's Zameena Zoom Halfa Performance by Cassandra Fox

First of all,
Thank you so much for you patience and understanding in regards to my erratic uploading since covid. I know this is a strange and difficulty time for many of us and I appreciate being met with such graciousness by you all:) I hope that everyone is safe, and well and coping as best as they can.

I apologize for the delay and erraticness, and also for the incoming cluster of posts. I know it is not ideal to post 4 or more videos at once for each tier as it can be overwhelming or flustering but I have access to functioning internet this afternoon so I had to take advantage and want to get a bunch posted while I can so you can enjoy some new material on your learning and dancing journeys.

Here is a video clip from an online "performance". If you follow me on social media you may have noticed a reduction in the amount I post and that I have not gone live or participated online haflas and that was simply because I have not been able to due to my internet situation. My dear friend and fellow dancer Zara was determined to try anyway to get me involved in an online hafla she was hosting despite my concerns and warnings that the odds of connection were not in my favour lol. But dear Zara is such a joyful, hopeful optimist that I agreed to at least trying. Sadly I was not able to Zoom (but I am told that I did successfully log in and was visible for about 20 seconds before vanishing back into disconnection lol). I decided to then still carry on with my performance and film it hoping I could later upload it for them to see anyway. So this is what that is. Sometimes even when everything feels like it is going wrong it still feels good to dance. It was really nice to get dolled up and put a costume on again after not doing so for months.

I will at some point make a video of what I have been up to during corona times for those who are interested. It does involve the story of how Butters accidentally got outside, and was missing for 60 hours. He was injured and hunkered down in a small tunnel (we assume a skunk made it at some point) under our deck. The tunnel was over 5 feet long and over 4 feet deep down on a diagonal. It was wild. I still cant believe that we even found him and that we were able to get him out safely. I am just so happy to have him back and that he turned out to be okay after some healing :)


Thank you again for your patience. Happy Shimmies and let's get dancing:)


Original caption for this video
" So sorry that my internet would not cooperate. It has been this way all of covid. Many in rural communities in Ontario have had difficulties with their internet which have been made worse since covid). It is what it is for now.

I decided to still dance my set and film it right after I got booted out of Zoom and was unable to log back in because the show just go on.

THANK YOU Zara and Anna for putting this all together and everyone for their understanding.
