sword video...

edit to add -

so... should I link to this on my website?

I'm not proud of it but... it's probably the best video I have of myself actually performing...

oh wow. I am amazed. You must have exceptional balance. I was almost biting my nails near the end, there.

Beautiful dress, PS.

Well, I think it's a very nice video, but the question is why you don't like it?

Anything you link to your website is an advertisement of your abilities, and if you're trying to sell yourself (that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean) then you want things that really showcase what you can do. Do you not like it because it's not a good representation of you abilities? Is it a dance you would never want to do again, even if someone requested it? In those cases, I wouldn't link it. If it's just a matter of you feeling a little 'meh' about the performance, I think you're being hard on yourself and you should put it there.

If you don't feel it represents you well, leave it off.

I'd be tempted to leave it off because the quality of the video is not great -- it's zoomed out too far for a lot of it to see you well.

I think it's a nice performance, but I agree that the zoom is set too far out to really showcase your abilities. I can tell you're doing a few neat things, but I doubt the average non-dance-trained person could pick them out of this video.

I love the music and the outfit, and you have lovely sinuous arm movements [dies of envy]. I wish I were in your area, I'd attend your classes like Catholics* attend church!

*Disclaimer! Not meant to be insulting; my grandmother is Catholic and attends services at least three times a week.

Yeah. I agree with tama and super.
