Yep! It was great to meet you, Miles, and Ashley and I are going to try to raise funds to come audition again in L.A. in September. We've learned a lot, got fantastic feedback and critique, and we're going to go hide in the studio in the meantime and work our butts off.

The vibe for Raqs America was intimate and surprisingly awesome. I was blown away by so many dancers, including Ela Rogers (get that girl on tour, she's so powerful and clean) and I was taken by surprise by Ebony. Why have I never heard of her before? Why is she not huge? She's ridiculously amazing.

Everyone was laid back, open and friendly, and we got a lot of great new friends and contacts out of this weekend. We will definitely be back next year.

Thanks for the support. We are definately asking Evony to join the BDSS starting October. I too enjoyed the local dancers and was impressed how they 'stepped up to the plate' and delivered a great show. We chose to stay small first time and I am glad we did. We will grow in the future but at the moment we are working with the venue for some improvements to the big room so we can deliver a bigger show to more people so we will hold Raqs America there next year for sure.
