Thank you for your support.

To begin with, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of our guests, friends, family and our media friends to this year's annual party entitled, "My Belly Dance Malaysia 2011". It is truly an honor for us to have everyone here tonight and we thank you for that.

We could not be more grateful for your trust and support in us since the first day of our humble beginning back in 2008 providing dance classes to only a handful of students. We must admit it was quite a challenge then, but with a great deal of perseverance coupled with an idea of bringing an incomparable dance experience to our students, we managed to pull through.

This annual event, My Belly Dance Malaysia 2011 is the effort of many selfless individuals who made it possible with much tears and sweat for the past few months. Allow us to spend a few moments recognizing and acknowledging these behind the scenes hero and she-ro for their generous efforts.

Our lovely sponsor - Ms. Belly Cat. Your support and friendship will always be appreciated and we wish to extend our sincere thanks to you and your family.

We also wish to express our deepest gratitude to our parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wong  for allowing us to pursue our dream in the field of cultural and performing arts; and your support in our adventures. Thank you, Mom and Dad and we love you both.

To all the performers for the evening, your courage to dance, on stage, in front of the audience is praiseworthy. We congratulate you for your undeterred faith, belief and your ability to outdo yourselves and not others. It is an attribute that we should all emulate. Congratulations, ladies! Well done!

To all our respected, passionate students and friends, who have grown with us and in us, you have coloured this journey with much joys and laughter.

Time has come and gone swiftly, and when one glances back at the past that belongs to you, it is a blessing that we have shared a few moments of our lives together. These ties shall remain strong wherever life may lead us.

And lastly, with great humility and profound gratitude, we sincerely thank you for gracing this event with your presence and for your incredible support and encouragement as well as your trust and faith in us.

THANK YOU very much.

My opinion is that, firstly does Asian have qualified professional belly dance instructors who have good teaching technique, oriental dancing technique, performing technique, physical strength and fitness, Middle Eastern cultural touch, and last but not least musical sense / analysis? If not, can Asian oriental dance instructors strengthen their oriental dancing skills and techniques in order to continue teaching and sharing such beautiful dance?































Secondly, we need to understand that Asian women are pretty shy in nature (ie. in performing and in expressing themselves) let alone belly dancing :) So, it goes back to the ability of finding a good instructor to encourage and to motivate the Asian belly dancers is vital. 

Thirdly, in general Asian women are less voluptuous, therefore they require much effort in fulfilling the traditional gaze of the world audience.

Lastly, practice makes perfect.

With all of the above, I think everyone can belly dance.

Happy shimmy.

Stylo event left me completely awestruck. Honestly, I had my mouth hanging open for most of "A Couture Evening", presented by Visa and showcasing works by Albert King, A Breathing Palate by Stage cosmetics and the best of Michael Ong.

Breathing Palate by Stage cosmetics, a complete body art showcase. When Dato' Nancy Yeoh announced the programme for the night, I wondered how they'd get away with this sort of a show in KL, considering each body was to be a canvas with little clothing required. It turned out to be very tastefully done.

A mix of dancers and models used creative movement instead of your typical runway strut, making the showcase beautifully entertaining.

Overall, it was definitely a showcase to remember. I'd never seen anything like it in Malaysia, which I thought to be a tremendous step forward for our local fashion scene. I also loved that this particular showcase featured varying body shapes as compared to generic model figures.



The night ended with a surprise showcase of 120 local socialites and celebrities decked out in local designers' couture.

Which explained why the audience mostly consisted of celebrities decked out in OTT designs.
