....or something close to it. This has been racking my brain since I started this tribe. Why we don't have a little get togeather where we as BBTBD get togeather for a few days and dance and whatever. I don't know all the details but if you're thinking we should share your ideas. Maybe we could make it possible.

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 8:26 AMdude...we could do small "play shops" or work shops...... that would be awesome!

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 9:01 AMAbsolutely! And it'd be great to have "costuming" be one of the workshops...since being a Goddess-sized BD proves to have its own costuming dilemmas. :) -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 10:25 AMRight on! It would be great to celibrate us as the goddess size bellydancers. -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 1:28 PMWell, If all works out with me and I end up moving into this live/work warehouse situation, i'll have PLENTY of room to do it there... until then- where would it be?
SOOOOOOOOO down for this idea though. -

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 2:57 PMWell after a long talk with my mother who is VERY supportive on the whole idea and wants to help. She and I are going to look into our beautiful Lake Geneva. Its ideal not to mention the mid-west is a lot cheaper. Since she sees its something i'm very passionet about she's going to help me develope the first ever Big Beautiful Belly Dancers......whatever. Haven't came up with a name yet. So if anyone has any input on what we should have feel free to say so. I'm looking around at resorts in the Lake Geneva area, not to mention affordable times to have it and space. Somewhere we can have a stage set up and do performances and a area to do workshops. I'm also trying to find a time where it doesn't interfere with other bellydance events that may be going on that you all may want to go to. Gosh my brain is working a mile a minute!!!! This is so exciting!!! So I'm hopefully looking into the next year.
As I said give me ideas of what you may want in this and i will write it down and be sure to keep it in mind.
What type of worshops and who would be willing to teach it?
Feel free to put in any helpful input. -

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 3:29 PMThis is such a cool idea! schedule/time-wise - are you thinking in the summer? During the week? On a weekend? -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 3:41 PMWell mid-week is cheaper for rooms here. I wanted summer because Wisconsin weather is so unpredicable. Maybe three or four days just before summer hits and the prices sky rocket or after in fall when the prices have gone down. I look at this because I want as many of you lovelies to join in as possible. So it would be week days not weekend.

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 3:36 PMThat would so rock! However I do find that it will be hard for me to get to the Mid-West. Sigh -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 3:40 PMand a makeup workshop too. I would love to see some of BBTBD sisters! Make it on a weekend and in the summer, please!!!!! -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 3:48 PMHmm.... that is a tough one. I can try to work that out and see if its possible to get a group discount so i can have it during the summer. As for you who are far away thats going to me a hard one to try and work out. Wisconsin is smack in the middle of the US right by crazy Chicago. I chose here because I know my state better than anywhere else. Its easy for me to travel around and check out where i want to develope this at.
make-up workshop sound very cool. -

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 4:06 PMUgh my spelling!!! Would anyone like to sell stuff? What would you like to see someone sell? -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 4:29 PMI'd LOVE to do a Makeup & Hair for Dancers workshop -- my business/dance partner & I do them locally around here. Costuming, too.
As far as selling, I'd also be glad to offer our plus-size tribal wares as well: tribes.tribe.net/belliphat (or belliphat.etsy.com ) And I'd love to see a vendor who sold plus-size jewelry (cause things like kuchi belts & tribal arm cuffs are SO hard to find in our size). -

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Thu, May 8, 2008 - 10:20 AMI realized that could read odd........ I'd be willing to "do" a makeup workshop = I'd be willing to TEACH a makeup workshop.
-
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Thu, May 8, 2008 - 5:08 PMI could sell stuff.....shirts, totes, veils etc -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 6:57 AMmmmmmm....Marta veils..... yes! -
-

Re: We should have a fest too.....

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 8:50 AMThis would be fab! I may have to make the treck to it!!! Its not that far from me! -

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 9:44 AMI'm with all of your help am trying to make this very rememberable! If it all runs as smootly as i hope we can make it yearly! I want to make all my fello dancers happy and make this fun. I think I found a resort thats perfect including room prices. I will be going to spend a couple of days there sometime in July to look around and talk to the staff and see if i can get a discount for us. But the land is beautiful and the rooms are all suits with kitchens and you can order groceries and they will have it waiting for you in your room when you arrive. So to cut on cost you can get roommates. So i'm going to check it out and see if this is it but when I seen it I fell in love. Oh and they do have a spa if you want to know.
So this is my top choice! Fingers crossed!!!

Re: We should have a fest too.....
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 2:22 PMHoly crap. A festival that would be feasible for me to travel to? Surely you jest :-P
As for costume sellers, let me check with AngelDMort, she has all sorts of stuff and she might be up for car pooling. -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 3:39 PMSweet Rya! Yup nothing like a good car drive for the mid-westerns. As for the others think of it as a short plane ride to spend with your other BBBD sisters. -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 7:26 AMTime and place and I will try my hardest to be there.
How about technique workshops I am sure we have alot of BB instructors who can help us break down movements on our body type etc.
Sounds like a great idea -
-
Re: We should have a fest too.....
Sat, May 10, 2008 - 10:12 AMThat sounds great Meghan. When i have everything set I will have a time and place. So far i'm not geting the feeback i would of hoped for from the other bbbd tribe as i am from my own (although its slow coming). (sighs) Oh well only time will tell. Maybe I should post on other tribes besides just the bbbd tribes. -
