Hello,all. I'm organizing a VERY laid back, informal belly dance drum-and-dance party for April's First Friday at Art6 Gallery. Janine Turner, a beginner belly dancer and local artist, is exhibiting a beautiful collection of belly dance photographs there, and she thought it would be very cool to have some drumming and dancing for the occasion; I'm picturing a small Middle Eastern drum circle (NOT 27 thundering djembes!) and dancers doing what they want and when they want to. Dancers can dance to Middle Eastern rhythms laid down by live percussionists or to recorded music. Troupes, duets, individuals, choregraphies, free improv, Cabaret, Tribal Fusion, Goth, ATS, ANYTHING goes!

Anybody interested? Please contact me if you would like to perform. I'll have more detailed logistical info later; right now I'm just letting people know as early as I can. Thanks.
