Thanks to all of you who performed and who came to support us. We had a great turnout and a great time!

Venus Uprising: The Zoo

Venus Uprising is presenting one of their fantasy belly dance events this April and I'm very happy to be part of it. I'll be the hoopoe, the guide in Attar's 13th c. work: The Conference of the Birds. Other dancers are choosing other animals to embody for the night.

Registration for NYU Classes

Yes, it's registration time again! New moves await inspired by classes with Mahmoud Reda, the Tannoura dancers, and dances performed impromptu by my Bedouin guides during a tea break while crossing the Great Sand Sea (see left and the separate blog post). Yes, this trip has been amazing..more of that later.

Thus far, I've received no information about on-line registration, so please sign up in person at Coles Gym. To make things even more confusing, I also received an unsigned email from the recreation department indicating that there will also be registration on Monday, January 25. The information I'm providing below is what appears in the official flyer. All belly dance classes are being offered, but we must have an adequate number of students enrolled for classes to run. The earlier you can sign up the better. I do hope to see you and dance with you soon!
