2009 Bellydancers of Las Vegas Calendar!!

brittshimmy — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:41:11 GMT

I am proud to announce the 2009 Bellydancers of Las Vegas Calendar project

The 2008 Desert Dancers Calendar done by Glenn Brogan and Amira was such a good idea, and so useful to me for promoting myself, that I was really sad to not see it happen again in 2009. So, I decided to do something about it!! It is a fantastic way for those of us performing in Las Vegas to put ourselves out there in the greater community. I have tried to work out the major stumbling blocks that last years calendar presented, and I have a workable plan that I hope to see benefit us all! The 2009 Bellydancers of Las Vegas calendar will be an 11” x 8.5” glossy finish work of art, full of Las Vegas talent!

CALENDAR IS OPEN TO:
~Any Bellydance soloists, troupes or duets -traditional, fusion or otherwise- that wish to advertise themselves, and who perform in and around the Vegas valley. If you’d like to be featured as one of the months in 2009, please read on! Submissions will be accepted beginning on July 25th and will be open until August 15th.

BENEFITS:
~Give to agencies, your website will be listed just below your photo!
~Give as gifts to employers, family, students, etc.
~If the calendar doesn’t happen, you will receive a full refund!
~Receive enough calendars to sell that you can more than recover your investment costs!
~Discounts on additional calendars.
~Calendar participants will receive a special gift , TBA

THE IMPORTANT DETAILS!!! FAQ’s:
~Q: Is participation in the 2009 Bellydancers of Las Vegas Calendar free, or do I have to purchase my month?
A: Participants will be purchasing their months individually. This calendar is intended to be an advertising investment for those who perform Bellydance in and around Las Vegas. Purchase prices for each month of the calendar were kept as low as possible and participants will be reimbursed with enough calendars to sell to recover their costs. The cost is the same for everybody, whether they are purchasing as a troupe or individually.
~Q: How do I submit my application & photos?
A: Write to britt@brittshimmy.com and request an application.
~Q: When can I submit my application?
A: There are 2 submission periods. The discounted pre-registration period is from July 25th-July 31st. The second, full priced registration period is from August 1st-August 15th. No applications will be accepted after August 15th.
~Q: How do I purchase the calendar cover?
A: Anyone who is interested is able to apply to purchase the cover in addition to their month however, only one person, or group, will be able to purchase the cover, the final decision will be announced after August 15th. Calendar photo and cover photo will be the same photo.
~Q: Who chooses the photos?
A: Up to 4 photos of your own choosing may be submitted with your application, with only one high quality, high resolution, professional photo for each month being chosen by the design team for the final product. Preferably, the photos are new and not more than 6 months old. They may be outdoor or studio shots, your choice.
~Q: How do I find a good photographer?
A: Locally, we have Glenn Brogan who is completely familiar with the calendar format, and also an absolutely wonderful photographer! Glenn can be found at: www.beyondpairadice.com
In addition to Glenn, I would recommend Pixie at www.pixievisionproductions.com and Andy Humphries www.andyhumphriesphotography.com both out of L.A., but worth the trip!

Contact britt@brittshimmy.com for more info or an application.

How Did You Meet Her

Shalini — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 22:47:34 GMT

I want to know where, when, and how you met the lovely and talented Aradia and when and where was the first time you ever saw her perform live?

I met her last year during the IBDC. I signed up to be a volunteer and I worked with her on a few things. I thought she was very sweet and thoughtful. She worked really hard with every task given to her and helped me out whenever she could.

The first time I ever saw her perform was actually before I met her. It was at Marrakech on Mother's Day 2007. She was so beautiful, vibrant and the crowd just loved her. I adored the interaction she had with the people. It was almost like she was doing a private show just for you.

So that is my story how about yours?

Veils

AradiaLV — Wed, 28 May 2008 05:29:15 GMT

Hello Ladies,
I have about 35 silk veils for sale, they are beautiful quality, like Justina's, but she is moving again and couldn't get her dye bath up in time, my second vendor is an incredible artist, you will love her veils. Contact me if you would like to check them out. I'm still waiting for my veil fans to come in, I'll post once they get here!

Winnipeg anyone?

AradiaLV — Thu, 22 May 2008 22:40:29 GMT

Hi All,
I'm off to teach and perform in Winnipeg Canada, I haven't found any Winnipeg dancers on tribe, maybe I'm not looking in the right place, I hope I don't freeze my tail off! Florida was so nice and warm!

Speaking of fabulous performances...

romdeussen — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:01:55 GMT

Aradia did a wonderful mini set at Saqra's Showcase!!!! And from the feedback I got from being in the booth, the workshops were great--I would have loved to take one but mine was directly after hers. But again, great performance!

Welcome!

brittshimmy — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 20:35:16 GMT

Welcome to the Fans of Aradia Tribe! I have wondered for a while now why Aradia didn't have her own tribe, considering the 30 years of Bellydance, the storied Vegas career, world travels and all. I am excited to say that we finally have a place to talk story, get all of the info, & pictures we need! Yay! A big thanks to Aradia for being such an inspiration to so many people in Vegas and beyond.
