Hello Dancers & Drummers!

Yes hi,

I know I haven't posted much this month on gather.... been a little busy!

There was the

Renaissance Fantasy Faire in Cloudcroft, NM
I have pictures up at http://www.kbworksstudio.com/dance_studio.htm 

I am still working on organizing all the other pictures from this month!

Enchanted Darkness Gothic Belly Dance workshop & Gala benefit show featuring Tempest, hosted by Scimitar Productions
This was a definitly different look at Belly Dance - in a good way.  Scimitar Productions goals, aside from raising a lot of money for great causes - this year proceeds went to the Child Crisis Center of El Paso, Texas - was to show you can have fun with Belly dance!

Full Moon Dance with Eternal Dance Studio, in Radium Springs, NM
This Hafla (Bellydance party) was a blast! Chit chatting with other dancers, trading costume ideas and even costumes! We had a bit of a belly dancer bazzaar going on!

Zahira SuJong's Workshop/hafla I hosted and taught a large number of dancers in a condensed info class that was 3 hours long. It was great! Then we had food and dancing until late. Exhausting, but fun!

Just this weekend I was back in New Mexico again at the Shake n' Bake Dance Festival. It was a wonderful time. If anyone can make it to a Shake & Bake festival I really recomend it. I was able to only enjoy it for one day, as I was teaching  Saturday morning, taking workshops and performing at the Belly Dance Extravaganza in El Paso, Texas the night before! At 6 AM I headed up to Albuquerque, NM. Got home Monday morning at 1 AM.

There was the "Shake your hips on Route 66" Gala Show, wonderful Bazaars, terrific workshops (I took the Drum & Rhythms one Sunday morning) and a I was part of great show with a wonderful variety of dancers. The proceeds of this show benefitted the Albuquerque Animal Humane Society.

I think this will be my first weekend "off". I plan to enjoy it by staying home! maybe going to a movie with my hubby.

The rest of August is a little quiet. You know just the usual....

Working in my studio, teaching dance classes, creating new choreography, designing websites, and getting things ready for Shakespeare on the Rocks and a number of other things coming in September..... you know a quiet month....

Anyway, Happy Dancing!
