Travelin’ and studyin’

Posted in Shamsi-bellydance at 3:59 pm by shamsidances

WHOOOHOOO…soooo…After having fulfilled a (at least my first) 4 year obligation to Dunya and my Dancemeditation certification….I’m ready to study some BELLYDANCE again! Soooooo I’m saving up my mulah to travel and learn and meet new people in the dance community. First stop is TribeOriginal….I can’t wait, September 18th -21st. I love the Asheville, NC area and I have friends who recently moved *near* there….so I’ll be glad for a reason to get up to NC. NOT TO MENTION all of the really cool stuff that is planned.

Next on my little list is 3rd COAST Tribal, January 7-11, 2009! I’ve never really been in a position to go (money or time)…actually, I’m typically getting home from Winter Monastery Movement (Dancemeditaiton Winter retreat) about day 2 or 3 of 3rd Coast…but not this year baby! Plus, Artemis is going to be there and I’ve *NEVER* even been in the vicinity when John Compton was teaching…so that’s just going to be a BLAST. Every once in a while, outside of my normal group of friends, I realize that I am terribly, unbelievably just plain lucky; a friend of mine from Houston, Zymirrah, regularly hosts workshops and is the coordinator for 3rd Coast Tribal and she asked if I would mind teaching a small class on one of the stages! HECK YEAH!!! So now THAT’s kind of exciting….if you must know.

Yup…..I’m psyched and if I’m very very good (which we all know I am) I will be able to save up a little extra for some intermediate trips besides these two ;-)

I’m sooooper very excited about this!!!!It’s been soooo long since I actually left my state (or city for that matter) to go take a bellydance workshop!!!!! So I am very excited. I first heard about Zafira in early 2007 when one of our teachers came back from 3rd Coast with a DVD of a Zafira stage show after taking one of their classes.

Talk about professional. These 3 women had it totally together and I was awe-inspired immediately.

Soooo as a little treat to myself for working so hard over the last couple of months, I’m dragging my mean-ol-man (Shelly) down to Houston this Saturday so we can visit a few friends we haven’t seen in a coon’s age and in general just have fun. If’n you’ve never partied with those bellydancers from Houston….well….your life is much too docile ;-)
Cheers - see you on I-10!
