Our Pirates Booty's Made it to the Netherlands!!




We're making our way around the world!!

We (Hiplash) have a new fusion belly dance choreography called "Pirate's Booty". When we were thinking about our music selection, our first thought was music from Pirates of the Caribbean. With that on our minds, we had a lot of difficulty coming up with a piece of music that would not only go with the Pirate’s movie music, but also had to be dance-able. Trish (aka Pixie Spice), the newest member in our troupe, brought in a piece of music that was perfect!! The song is a remix done by Carty of “Jolly Roger” by Adam and the Ants. The song is awesome! And Adam Ant is the original pirate! Perfect!!

Pixie asks Carty’s permission for our use of the music. It was cool with him and we used it to dance at Faizeh’s hafla (www.faizeh.com) and The Hip Drop showcase (www.myspace.com/thehipdropshowcase). Both opportunities were incredible and I had so much fun being a pirate if only for a night!

So, here’s the cool part… Pixie let Carty know about our fabulous performance, and he was sweet enough to write about it in his blog! Arrrrr!! Here’s the link, check it out, it’s awesome!!
