We are very close to opening registration to dance on the festival stage at the 2009 event--we are estimating Feb. 1st. Those who are currently registered will be given a "heads up" just prior to opening up the submission process. Also, festival dancers need to be registered for at least one class or lecture. It will be a first-come first-placed process, so we highly recommend you look at your schedule now to determine what day/time would be best for you. You can see the full schedule at www.bellydanceintensive.com So if you know you are attending, this might be a good time to choose your classes. Our A La Carte options are now available. Happy Dancing--Samira
