Had the most wonderful weekend at the workshops. 10 hours! Plus Jazzercise on Friday and Monday. I was so tired but it was worth it. Bozenka is my absolute favorite instructor and performer. She is so sweet and down to earth. I was her driving escort so we even got to chat a bit which was nice. Can’t wait until she is back next year. I learned so much.
This weekend is Mirage at the Oasis II with Bozenka. She is coming to teach 10 hours of bellydance workshops…yes 10!!! I am tired just thinking about it. I already had my fitness class this morning at the Jazzercise studio and already feel exhausted, but am trying to gear up for my first 2 hours tonight.
Pray for me!
I am so excited to be featured in a Photo of the Week on WUNC’s program “The State of Things”, This photo was taken by local photographer Paul Cory at a local bellydance event. Congrats to Paul for his wonderful photo!!

I just got my Fire Hip Belt and this was my very first time playing with it. I love fire!
The Winter Solstice Workshops and show with Amani Jabril were fantastic. We had a weekend of Egyptian techniques, combos, and entrances. Loved the show! Lots of food, fun, dancing, and wonderful music.
I had been invited to dance with Mara and her Moorish Gypsy Troupe doing a Salsa fusion dance because she knows I wanted to learn some Salsa. Then I did a solo to Henna, which is another Latin style song which I love, just to keep the ‘theme’ going. LOL.

The snow started falling after midnight here and we woke to a Winter Wonderland! What a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday Season! No Snowstorm is complete without a set of Winter Snow Goddess Photos. I started these back in 2009, and have been lucky to do them several times.
Unlike previous times when I had help, I did these all myself. I lugged the tripod and my wireless shutter release and with the help of ALOT of Photoshop I got some nice finished art images.
Here is the latest video from Bellydance Night at the Pinhook.
I just want to share some wonderful photos that were taken at the last Bellydance night. Paul Cory, is a local photographer, and he came out and photographed all the dancers. You can check out his work here.
