On behalf of Bellydance Odyssey Productions, thanks so much to everyone who made this weekend's event such a success.

We are especially grateful to our headliners, Amy Sigil/UNMATA and Shabnam Pena, for sharing the gift of their artistry and teaching with our dance community.

We are also indebted to all of the incredible volunteers and worker bees, without whom the event would not have been possible. We look forward to celebrating your hard work at our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner in July.

Thank you so much to all of the performers who shared their creations on Saturday and Sunday.

Thank you to all of the vendors who helped sustain a very inviting atmosphere at the event!

Big hugs and thanks to our judges for Sunday's competition....and also our official photographers: Sharif and Carl Sermon.

We truly appreciate all of the positive feedback and support expressed before, during, and after the event. We also received some complaints (both constructively offered...and not so constructively offered) about some of our policy decisions related to admissions fees, photography, and anonymity of judges. While we are deeply committed to trying our best to please as many people as possible, we cannot always succeed in that endeavor. Rest assured, however, that we consider all feedback and do attempt to modify certain practices where possible.

Yours in dance,
Vashti
