Yet again, Alex pulled off a fantastic and life-changing weekend with Suhaila in Charlottesville.

I want to say thank you for giving us all the chance to continue to study with Suhaila, and for providing the C'ville area with excellent belly dance education on a week-to-week basis. I can tell you we're not so lucky in other parts of the country.

It was great to see all of you who took the workshop and spend some time back in the old stomping grounds, and for those of you who haven't heard yet, it was a life-changing weekend for me in more ways than one--I got engaged on Sunday night!

So thank you, again, Alex, for your wonderful guidance and hard work in making this weekend and every other Belly Souk event happen. I echo the sentiments of everyone at the workshop when I say we are grateful.
