Well Susan and I talked about this last night at the Mystical Oasis Festival [which was very fun]..
Anyway here is an idea for helping in a small financial way.

A "VIRTUAL CONTEST"
I will design an entry form and post on tribes.. You print out the entry and fill in the information. Your dancer name...what you are dancing to... your costume...and a picture of you in it ! [the Kuchlin and family/friends can make a scrap book of them] and then also anything unique or totally awesome about you dance...I myself think it is time for the Turkish Drop - and I have a feeling it is going to be perfect ! Then mail it the address that will be on the entry form along with you entry fee. Now the fee is your choice on amount. Those of us who have done contest know it is usually $20 to $40 to enter but novice..like a hafla entry $5 is great too. [really what ever you can contribute I am sure is more than appreciated]
I think that as far as choosing "Winners" I have a feeling it will be a hard decision and probably a TIE... maybe we will need a dance off at a later date ?!?!?

PLEASE CUT AND PASTE THIS TO ANY DANCE TRIBE YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THAT YOU DO NOT SEE IT POSTED TO.

Devi..and Susan
