Travel
Amsterdam was wonderful! Seeing Zafira Dance Company, Jill Parker, The Uzume. Sharing a stage with them and so many other wonderful dancers! Taking seminars from Olivia and Maria. A great experience made even better by the company of Stania Muzikova.
March and April we were in Brno, Krakow, Prague, and Valencia for seminars and performances.
Outside of Carcassone, in the south of France we met up with members of Ballet Afsaneh for a little rest and a small performance in an artist retreat.
Istanbul in June, was wonderful! I found new textile pieces and hair ornaments. I happened on some fabulous large pendants that aren't being exported from Afghanistan any more.
Selim Sesler at Araf was a great show.
I was in San Francisco in August visiting my family and taking classes. I was there in time for the phenominal SF Mecca Immersion. 5 days of intensive seminars with some of the best teachers and dancers - Carolina Nericcio, Zoe Jakes, Mardi Love, Rose Hardin, Cera Byer. Plus Elizabeth Strong, Mira Betz, Damage Control,... and music groups Beats Antique, Brass Menazeri and Dan Cantrell in phenominal shows all over the City!!
Amazing Experiences
We have had the great good fortune in the last years to have varied and phenominal guests come to Czech,...
Unmata in Teplice - high powered, multi-layered and oh so sassy!
Elizabeth Strong in Prague and Brno - inspired and inspiring! Her work in the Belly Dance Evolution show is not to be missed!
Beka Merrifield in Prague was excellent!
