Warning: Contains Butt

I just received my first photo from the shoot last night, as taken by Rick Crampton.

I thought the background was too cold and dingy in contrast, so I fiddled with the colours a bit. I prefer this sort of look.

I wouldn't say I've dropped the interest, but it is certainly on hold. I did get Dances of India - Learning Bharata Natyam video, but it's really quite terrible, so I didn't use it. Aside from skimming the video once, my only real exposure to Bharata Natyam has been seeing three or four performances of it. I can't claim to have studied the dance based off just this.

If I discover a good bharata natyam teacher in the area, I'd love to study with him/her. I think it's a gorgeous dance.

Excellent! Why don't you come to India and take some dance lessons? As I understand, it takes 6 years to master bharatnamya, but there are many schools (such as in Mysore) where you can take lessons for a few weeks and have a strong skill in different dance forms. Your dance style is somewhat of a fusion, and a few months in India might be great for your oeuvre. To hell with working fast food jobs in Canada...take some time and adventure!
