Festival for the Eno

Had a great time this weekend at Festival for the Eno. The weather had been raining all week and flooded the River Stage, so this year it was moves. Because of this, when we arrived on Saturday, the dancers had no dance stage. But the volunteers were great and found some ‘magic carpets’ for us to dance on and the show was fabulous. We had a huge crowd which is always fun!

I will be performing live again with the Lost Nomads at the Festival for the Eno. It is always so much fun despite the hot, humid, summer weather. The mission of the Festival for the Eno River is to raise money and awareness to protect the Eno River and surrounding land, while providing a fun weekend for families and individuals of all ages. There are several stages with music and dance. Lots of craft vendors, food, and don’t forget the swimming hole or going on a nice hike! We will be there Saturday, July 6th, time to be determined.

It was sweltering this past weekend at the Eno, but we shimmied in the sun anyway! Luckily this year our stage was in the shade. We got to dance to the wonderful live music by local Middle Eastern musicians, the ‘Lost Nomads’. I danced to an ‘Alhambra and Nomads Reel remix’. I used my beautiful wings and danced all improv! Afterwards we listened to some other great music, I got a henna tatoo, and we snacked on some yummy pupusas!!

I was invited to dance at the Festival for the Eno this year with Moorish Gypsy Tribe and Happy Hips as their guest dancer. We got very lucky and the weather was nice and only in the upper 80′s. We had quite a big crowd and it was so much fun.
