Subject: [arabicdanceassociation] Hello to Nadiyah! HelloAlso to Tabla Man!

Hello All

 

Hello to Nadiyah, how interesting to be able to speak to people from the other side of the globe so easily and exchange news and view on our dance.

 

I believe Beverley and Jewelah have also invited Guy Schalom into this group. Hopefully he will join soon and post messages here. I met up with Guy on Wednesday in North London where he has recently moved to from the Manchester area. He is a very talented Tabla player with a huge sense of fun who I believe will be a very valuable asset to our dance community in the South.

Best Wishes

Greetings to all!
I just wanted to comment that one of the wonderful
things about our dance is that it is global.  Where
ever  I travel and where ever I move to I can find
really cool dance people.  There are dance
organizations all around the world.  It is awesome!!!

My husband is also Military (Navy) and we move about
every three or so years.  I love that no matter where
I go I can find people who love dance (Some nearly as
much as I do! *LOL*).

Dance is the one constant in my life and it keeps me
sane (well, more or less, depending on your
deffinition!).  In my experience, Dance people are
usually good people.  I have had some amazing
experiences travelling and meeting other dancers.
They have opened their homes and hearts to me and I
try to do likewise.  It renews my faith in humanity
and lifts my spirit to know that there are so many
wonderful dance people out there.

Ciao for Now! -- Sa'ida

Hi

Our show and workshop kept us rolling all day
(with small snacks of tofu keeping us going..)

We had a fantastic workshop at Danceworks, thanks to all of you
participating. We knuckled in and worked through isolations and
flow... finishing with Nashwat El Raqs. Thanks to Jewela for making
us sweat! Jewela says she's inspired to see so many of you working
hard and bringing out your own uniqueness.

The day by no means stopped there. A performance later at Theatro
Technis was lovely, and thank you to the audience. We shared the
stage with an exquisite classical indian and later a contemporary
dancer. Photos from the Arabic Section are posted on the groups photo
pages under "Arabic Dance Association UK" and then "Show 14Nov".

Hi Nika,
   I just got an invite too and figured I would come over and see if
anyone was in my area. I'm Nancimila and I live in San Diego.. a
little far from ya. Darn it! I would have loved to be in your troupe!
sigh...  Your site is great! Lovely pics! Come on over to Gypsy Talk
some time ... that invite is open to everyone, the more the merrier!

Ciao Mi Bella Amici Di Danza!! (all you beautiful dance friends)

Yes, I was in Corfu, Greece for a little while...  I actuallly *live*
in Naples, Italy (Napoli).  There are some very talented dancers in
Rome.  I hope to go back to Greece in the Spring, haven't made it to
Athens yet, but it's on my list!!  So many places to see....

It's lovely that this list is so international! I enjoy very much
comparing notes with other dance communities.

Hey Zaina!!  Congrats on your magazine!  I'll have to check it out!
BTW:  Any chance I can get a copy of that poster??  I had no idea, but
I'm glad people liked that costume (and my screamin' red hair dye!).
Hopefully I'll get some good new photos in the ruins around here....

There are some beautiful ruins and temples.  I was recently visiting
the archeological site of Paestum, which was one of the original Greek
Settlements.  As soon as all the paperwprk and legal stuff clears, I
can't wait to do a photo shoot out in town...  MAybe even a video???
:-)   It has been a life long dream of mine to dance in one of the
ancient temples of Venus...  wish me luck!  I promise to keep you all
posted if that happens.

Love & Dance, Peace & Freedom!!  Sa'ida

Hi!

I wanted to welcome all members and thank you for the warm,
enthusiastic and overwhelming response to our new hub!

This group is a way for us to share a love in common of dance, and to
further our own artistic expression through inspiration and
networking! So please feel free to bring forward ideas, recruit
through the membership base, and share positive, meaningful
communication. If you are performing, let us know where, so we can
come to support you.

It seems we have already set about reuniting old friends! Also, with
great offers of hospitality (thank you to the lass in Brazil)x

And thank you for those fabulous dancers who have already posted
their photographs online. An invitation to more of you...

I've uploaded some of my dance pics and jewela's. Jewela is an
exquisite dancer and gifted teacher. I love to
watch her perform, she is a generous spirit, and her yoga and
discipline are paramount in her dance. I have studied with her for
four years and help her teach these days.

I have trained since the age of 4 in dance and am qualified in jazz/
contemporary. Also having done some ballet, gymnastics and martial
arts, I can safely say the bellydancing is THE most difficult art to
learn, but one of the most joyous to (attempt) to master. I may dance
in a rhythm where all my styles fuse, or at play with the female
archetypes within the arabic structure. As a woman of contrasts, this
is good for self-expression, and drama-healing. You may find me
draped in diamonds, barefoot in the mud, in a glamorous, earthy
bellydance, or find me in a sassy black jazz hat.

I look forward to getting to know more of you.
Thank you so much to those who have introduced themselves.
May we all know great happiness!
Best wishes in your dance and all persuits.

Much love
Beverley

Also not sure if there are places left for this...
2005 Visionary Belly Dance Retreat
Dates: January 16-24, 2005
Place: the Big Island of Hawaii!
9 Days 8 nights
Theme: "Depth of the Dance"
We have had many retreats on Maui and a few on the Big Island. I find
the Big Island is less hectic than Maui these days. It has a wilder,
less cultivated feel. Each island is unique. I truly love them all.
The Big Island is perfect for taking us away and to the depth of our
dance!
YOU CAN SEE FULL DETAILS AT...
http://www.visionarydance.com/Retreats.html
Our Guest Artist: Jeremiah Soto
I'm very excited to have invited Jeremiah to be this year's visionary
guest artist He is the composer, musician and creative mind behind
the "Solace" music collections. Jeremiah truly has had his finger on
the pulse of American belly dance for the past decade. His music is
enthralling. With tribal, ritual, urban, gypsy, he crossed cultural
lines and stylization. His music is big and deep.
Space is limited and we expect it to fill fast.
Yours in dance,
Delilah

thanks for those links to quicktime videos, am delving in.
i found who ure looking for, your friend helen at the bbc?
helen.waldie@...
those camels of yours will have a good crankin with Jewela on sunday
i bet and i look forward to seeing you there.
parties are great for performing with friends. theyre really
supportive when it comes to doing your own thing. when i perform in
theatre, tho, i am quite careful to listen to what is wanted and cut
it down to experience, also sometimes we tend to resist the learning
curve in a way that makes us want to perform in a way to make
ourselves happy and not challenge ourselves to further improve. so
its a difficult bone to chew, but i think in the end we all want to
better ourselves and never loose that individual spark that makes us
unique and that brings the world of flavour to our dancing
keen to see your outfits this sunday at the workshop

Hi Everybody,

I just joined this group. My name is Amulya and I am a belly dancer
from The Netherlands. I have been bellydancing for 11 years. I like
tribal as well as cabaret and fusion styles. You can see pictures of
me under 'photos' and in the file 'Amulya'.

Happy daning!
Amulya

Thank-you for inviting me to join this group.

Have been a performer of Dance-Theatre since the seventies and enjoy
all forms of dance, especially multi-cultural.

The Costumes have always been the icing on the cake, so to speak.
I also paint and create original neckpieces that are inspired by
Dance and different Cultures.  Will always be adding to my website
and would like to invite you to browse some of the Costumes featured.
There are many more, and will take special orders for your unique
style and shape.  I am a distributor of JOHARAH'S line from Egypt,
and will be adding original Flamenco dresses taking custom orders for
those as well.

Blessings in Dance

IT IS YOU. Just went in and looked at the photos folder.  Whew whoo.
So good to see you there.  YOU ARE MISSED HERE IN WASHINGTON.  People
ask where you are all the time.

And, by the way, your gorgeous photo - the red fire costume - graced
Reno, Nevada's Casino this year as well as last year.  It is a poster
size and it is BREATHTAKING.  Fun to stand around the poster and
listen to people oooo and ahhhhh.

Hugs to You!

Hi there,

Just wanted to introduce myself - My name is Audra and I'm in Toronto,
Canada.  I'm a new member of the group, and owner of Cleopatra's Bazaar,
an online bellydance supply boutique selling Oriental and Tribal dance
supplies.
How are things over there in England?  Toronto is bustling at this time of year
with student galas and recitals abounding.  I am not involved this year, as I've
just started my own classes (I was previously with Arabesque Academy and
Yasmina Ramzy) in the summer and still have a small student base.
I'm off to do some updates, hope to hear from some of you and you can fill me
in on your dance life!
