My girlfriend danced in a revue with Princess Farhana a few months ago, and I was not at all impressed with La Princess. Her costumes were nice and her moves well-choreographed, but her presence simply wasn't there. She was strictly "by the numbers," and seemed to be dancing those numbers in her sleep.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to see this. Wanting an excuse to ditch my class reunion has nothing to do with it, I swear.
