      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/5fe8d782-9d36-4c22-9312-8f8d9759cc98</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Collective Soul 1 Intensive in Aylesbury from October 14-16th 2009.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is an opportunity to receive three days intensive tuition from Paulette Rees Denis herself for only £525. Paulette insists on keeping numbers low so that she can give individual attention to attendees, so there are only a few places left.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If interested, contact Steffi on barefootsteffi@hotmail.com or through the website www.barefootbellydance.co.uk  for registration form and place will be reserved on receipt of completed form and £100 deposit. The rest is payable to Paulette on day one. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any Collective Soul 1 attendees who want 2 more days with Paulette and the other teachers can have a Vibe weekend pass at a special rate of £100, if the payment is made by cheque when deposit is paid. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;What are those pants that the troupe is wearing at the Caravan Dance Collective - Int'l Women's Day? 
&lt;br/&gt;link here     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX7ztKRQJ88
&lt;br/&gt;Are they the ones made by Missy P?  They look to have a multi-layerd leg but I'm not sure.  They sure are pretty and I'd like to get a pair.

      <title>"Tribal Fest Tribal Jam Band - featuring Jeff!!</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/056e089e-dfbe-437c-8f37-1d29e5055f02</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Welcome to info on Tribal Fest’s first ever “Tribal Bellydance Jam Band”.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here is the deal... We are trying something new this year at TF. An open dance floor with a Jam! The vision is we have a core group of players and people join in and dancers do their thing..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Introducing the “Tribal Fest Jam Band”! Jeremiah Soto of Solace, Jeff Rees from Gypsy Caravan and Mizna and August Hoerr of The Mezmer Society (see bios below)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;They will take the Tribal Fest stage and invite anyone who would like to come play with them to come up. Like a great drum circle! This is your chance to come up and jam with some of the most outstanding musicians in the bellydance scene today!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bring your drum, your zills, your mizmar WHATEVER!!! Join them on-stage and add to the sound and excitement. Don’t be shy!! When will you have the chance to do this again??!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everyone is welcome to join in. Dancers, do you have a hubby or partner who plays something? This is their chance to be apart of the show!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now if THAT weren’t enough excitement, of course it is an “Open Floor Dance Time”!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Time for all you Tribal dancers to get up and show the world that you can dance as one. Improv at it’s finest!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Doesn’t matter what “style” you do or how long you have been dancing. Come on stage, or in front of the stage for an awesome open floor with what will be the best Tribal Jam Band ever to jam on a stage.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This will go down in history!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Jeremiah Soto
&lt;br/&gt;Jeremiah has been composing music since 1986 and has evolved through several genres of music including Industrial, Gothic, Electronic, Contemporary World and currently Middle Eastern Dance music. Arabic percussion has always been a fascination of Jeremiah's and he has studied with renowned dumbek master Souhail Kaspar as well as learned African polyrhythms and frame drum technique from Ronnie Engel. After being in groups such as Kokuein, Eventide, and Still, Jeremiah embarked on a solo
&lt;br/&gt;project, thus forming Solace in 1995.
&lt;br/&gt;www.soundsofsolace.com/solace/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Jeff Rees
&lt;br/&gt;Jeff’s first exposure to learning a musical instrument was playing the accordion and clarinet as a young boy. Jeff’s music took a big turn when he joined Paulette’s newly formed tribal bellydance troupe, the Gypsy Caravan. From travels and research he started playing the zurna from Turkey, the ney and the mijwiz from Egypt, and created the distinct sound of the Gypsy Caravan band. He now plays a vast assortment of horns and percussion, also including the Egyptian rababa, the Indian shruti box, the Armenian dudek, and the Australian didgeridoo.
&lt;br/&gt;Playing with Gypsy Caravan, Jeff also started a new band, Mizna, who released their first CD of tribal bellydance music in 2006. Touring the world with Paulette and Gypsy has been an enormously rewarding experience, as he has had the opportunity to play with musicians and for dancers in many other states and countries. With Gypsy and Mizna, Jeff has recorded nine CDs and various films and DVDs. He has made guest appearances on several CDs outside of Gypsy, including playing with Domba, Solace, and Americanistan. Playing music is Jeff’s meditation, his passion, and his art; he plays from his heart and soul.
&lt;br/&gt;www.gypsycaravan.us/mizna.php
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;August Hoerr, Accordionist
&lt;br/&gt;August taught himself to play accordion as angsty teenager, and after discovering Middle Eastern music, began working with Tribal dancers in 1999. Discovering a mutual interest in Balkan music and quirky party songs, he formed The Mezmer Society with Onça (Baraka Mundi) in the Autumn of 2007. They have taught and performed at events including Tribal Fest, TribalCon, and Tribal Revolution, and they are scheduled to continue touring throughout the United States. The Mezmer Society is fully committed to spreading the aesthetic of hafla joy as quickly and loudly as possible.
&lt;br/&gt;In addition to to The Mezmer Society, August is a member of the quartet Ashes in Order, and maintains a career as an internationally represented figurative painter. He is the president of the Institute for the Advancement of Occultism and Aerophonics (previously Asheville Accordion Club), and he has released albums with the cinematic trio Soora Gameela, and Greek fusion band Makari. August lives in Asheville, North Carolina and is currently working on material for his first solo album.

      <description>&lt;div&gt; the 16th annual 
&lt;br/&gt;Women's Weekend Workshop
&lt;br/&gt;ANCIENT ECHOES OF TRIBAL BELLYDANCE
&lt;br/&gt;Celebrating Women and Community
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tribal Vision 
&lt;br/&gt;with Paulette Rees Denis, 
&lt;br/&gt; Gypsy Caravan,
&lt;br/&gt;Again with very special guest instructors,
&lt;br/&gt;Amel Tafsout and Lynea Gillen
&lt;br/&gt;at Breitenbush Hot Springs - April 24-26, 2008
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Honor yourself with the power of your dance and the power of your words. In our vibrant circle of women, you will create your own dance within the communal and improvisational structure of Tribal Bellydance and beyond.
&lt;br/&gt;All levels are welcome for the weekend although some experience of belly dance is necessary. 
&lt;br/&gt;(Not for non-dancers please)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The weekend will include Paulette’s invigorating tribal style belly dance instruction, workout, and journaling sessions;  
&lt;br/&gt;along with Lynea’s Yoga for bellydancers and her hot blend of African Tribal dance. 
&lt;br/&gt;Add Amel’s singing and healing dances, and what a weekend!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Be ready to sweat and groove, dance and laugh.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Included in the weekend fee are all of your vegetarian meals, the various dance classes, time for soaking in geo-thermal hot tubs and sweating in the amazing sauna, your shared rustic and cozy cabin (roommate requests taken but not guaranteed), down time for a massage which must be scheduled in advance. On Friday night, to help with our dance and journaling sessions, we will have a chocolate feast! On Saturday night, we have our infamously informal salon for you to show us your stuff—be it dance, poetry, a song, whatever; and share some of your writing if you desire. (Schedule subject to change!) We will send you an info packet with the schedule and what to bring as we get closer to the dates!
&lt;br/&gt;Retreat starts Friday night at dinner until Sunday at noon before lunch.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Breitenbush Hot Srpings is a 2 ½ hour drive south east of Portland, in the mountains. Space is limited and sells out quickly, so get your deposit in right away!

      <title>Urban Berbers at Tribal Lounge</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/aeace997-db80-4e3a-ab99-e43a154f57fd</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Greetings Folks,
&lt;br/&gt;As you probably know by now, this Thursday August 21st is the Urban Berbers' last show together. After many years of extraordinary growth and good times we are having our final hurrah. I hope you can make it out to see what has become one of Portland's most accomplished belly dance troupes. Bring the love and come out for some fun! Being their Director has been on of the most fulfilling adventures of my life. We hope you enjoy the show. Tribal Lounge is held at Imbibe Restaurant on Hawthorne at SE 23rd. Showtime 8pm. No cover. Guest dancers Znama and Nylaresh.
&lt;br/&gt;Peace Through Music,
&lt;br/&gt;Michele
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Say It Ain't So!</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Caravan Studio is closing.
&lt;br/&gt;Yes, here is the big news, which saddens my heart to tell you. Caravan Studio must close its’ doors. 
&lt;br/&gt;Times are changing and after many months of deliberation, Jeff and I have decided it is time to close the studio and move on to our next phase in life. Having this most beautiful studio has been such a gift to me, it has brought so much pleasure, with great people and events, all based around the interest of dancing together with our most beautiful dance, tribal belly dance. But it has become a financial hardship for us, so after August 16th, the doors will shut.
&lt;br/&gt;What more can I say, but thank you to all who have been involved in the studio in one way or another. It has been a delightful journey. I will continue to dance and teach, and I will let you know where my classes will be held soon. For those of you moving on, I wish you the best in your dance journey and your life. We are planning a big bellyjam for the final hurrah in August, with a blessing ritual, a book release celebration, and a night full of dance. I will give you the date as soon as it is confirmed. Even though I may not see you at the studio, I do hope you will stay in touch with me! Make sure if you haven’t already done so, to sign up for my monthly enewsletter—Caravan Trail— on our web site. That is a great way to learn about events and our growing global tribal dance community.
&lt;br/&gt;There is also talk of someone else taking over the studio to keep it a dance space, so I will be sure to keep you updated.
&lt;br/&gt;Meanwhile, I am still dancing and teaching and touring. Gypsy Caravan lives on!" -from da site.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I take heart in the troupe continuing, but what am I gonna do with myself?!?!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   Seriously though, I moved to Portland in December, and the beautiful community at Caravan Studios opened its arms to me. My heart and my dance have blossomed with you, thank you all for everything. When I felt awkward and gangly and friendless and out of place, I came to dance and found my center and my strength, found my own beauty and the shine of it in the women around me. I love you!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;How about anyone having space in their car (for two) for a ride back to Portland on Sunday? We'll help pay for GAS!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Tribal Vision—the book— is here!</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/4f35dd8f-046a-496d-996f-ac1d4d8a22ea</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;My book
&lt;br/&gt;Tribal Vision: A Celebration of life through tribal bely dance 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;is finally here. And it is ready for you... 
&lt;br/&gt;I am so excited!
&lt;br/&gt;What one of our fabulous dancers and an author herself says about the book:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;     Tribal Vision is an inspired, insightful, and important account of the origins of Tribal Belly Dance and the author's personal journey through this brilliant and artistic community.  Part of this dance movement from the beginning, Paulette Rees-Denis shares her vision of its past, present, and future.  This is a deeply satisfying book for experienced dancers as well as new ones-- and for all readers who simply want to know more about a dance form that revolutionized the meaning of belly dance. 
&lt;br/&gt;            -- Pamela Smith Hill, author and dancer
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can order it  from our website:

&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for being a part of it all!
&lt;br/&gt;Paulette&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Thanks for lending us Paulette for a few days.    We wanted to keep her for ourselves, but decided to let her go- this time!
&lt;br/&gt;Collective Soul was an amazing experience.  I feel so happy to be a part of it.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Tribal Photos Found - Do They Belong To Anybody?</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/9bce8f6e-1682-444c-8a93-545bba63c6f0</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi Gypsy Caravan gals!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm clearing out some stuff that's been boxed through two house moves, and have come across an unlabelled CD. On it are a load of photos of tribal dancers - I believe the Urban Berbers - plus some non-tribal ones too. They could have come into my possession during an event I hosted with USA teachers, or through my visits over to the USA. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;From what I can gather, they were either taken by somebody who has travelled to the USA/Europe from the UK to visit an old school friend, or a USA/mainland Europe person travelling to England - it's a little confusing! There is a photo of a message that says: 
&lt;br/&gt;"Dear Miss Deltzerwas. Here to visit her former Kindergarten Student from England" 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The date stamp is April 2006. I've posted a couple of the photos on my BellyNut tribe photo album: tribes.tribe.net/bellynuttribal
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you know anybody who travelled to the USA and may have taken these (one of the events seems to be called something like Casbah Studio) then please pass this on to them and ask them to get in touch. There must be some amazing memories on here and I'd hate it if they were mine and were lost! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks, 
&lt;br/&gt;Nicola &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Paulette at Suhaila's Choreogrpahy Collective</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/a7fd1bcc-91ea-48dc-b826-a5bff118d6be</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Paulette came and capped off an amazing week at Suhaila's weeklong Choreography Collective. She taught a choreography to Gypsy Caravan's "Algerian Drum Song" and it was truly the perfect way to end the week, all of the dancers who had been working so hard all week getting to dance as a tribe, linking arms and holding hands and facing each other with great big smiles. Thank you Missy P!  MWAH!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Portland Dancers and Musicians!</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/81c529ec-338d-4ebb-aacf-ce22c3d4e551</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dancers and Musicians, 
&lt;br/&gt;call for Tribal Lounge performers for Imbibe Restauarant!
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;This is a call out to you and yours for Summer and Fall  sign-ups to perform at Tribal Lounge. We are expanding the performance list and would love to have semi to pro dancers, singers, storytellers, musicians (without a big sound system set up). What do you play?
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; This event is now switched to every Third Thursday, 8 pm, with your hosts, Gypsy Caravan Dance Company. We have had this event for three  years and we love it! Some great performers--Raquy and the Cavemen, Krebsic Orchestrar, Lilah Perry, Mizna, Urban Berbers, Mandala, Judy Piazza, Just Like Goddesses, Anaath, Dala'l, Auracle, Yemaya, Bijou Project, Rachel George, Mandala, Lara Tribeck, Shredd, Children of Paradise, Almine and friends, Tayissa Blue, Lorraine, and others have graced the stage!
&lt;br/&gt; and if you've done it once, you can do it again!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tribal Lounge is held at Imbibe Restaurant, on 2229 SE Hawthorne St in Portland, starts at 8pm, and performers usually do two short sets about 10-20 minutes each.
&lt;br/&gt;Of course, the money is not much, but we share what we get, and you can always go out for tips. You can sell your cds there, too.
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;This has  been a fun night, and a good place to showcase your new songs, dances, experimental pieces, stories, network, and have a great time. Performing  at Tribal Lounge is a wonderful way to bring the Portland and vicinity dance, music, and art community together. We love to build our community!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We want you! We are booking July, August (Urban Berbers will be rejoining us!), September, October, and November now. Email me to request a time slot. Give us your information (style, description, number of performers, etc) if I don't' know you.
&lt;br/&gt;And come, watch and support community of artists, too!
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks so much, and please pass this on to the dancers and musicians you know. 
&lt;br/&gt; Paulette

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/054fe6bd-aadc-41b8-a82b-0a9b57e6eb34</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;There is a Camel #1 on Tribal Technique, Volume 5, With The Gypsy Caravan and Camel Variation 3 on Tribal Technique, Volume 8, With The Gypsy Caravan.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is there a #2 anywhere?  I've gone through all my Tribal Technique videos and cannot seem to find one.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks much!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Looking for good Lebonese food in Portland</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/50596402-753c-46a7-bf6c-375a52c5b0c2</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello ladies,
&lt;br/&gt;I'll be in Portland later this month with my husband for his birthday and he has requested that we go have Lebonese food for his birthday dinner since we don't have that kind of food in Bend.  I am looking for recommendations for a good Lebonese place suitable for a celebratory dinner.  Price is not a problem as this is a special occasion.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;P.S.  It was so fabulous to see you again at BB, as always I had a wonderful time and am already looking forward to next year.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Love,
&lt;br/&gt;Kari&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Visiting Portland...and a bit OT</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/07f244dc-1c22-4b89-8568-211d39fa12cf</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My mom and I are visiting the west coast this summer (a first for both of us - we're from Florida). We're flying into Portland and out of San Francisco. Are there any Gypsy Caravan classes that are okay to drop into on Wednesdays or Thursdays? (I've been doing ITS for about 2 years and I took a two day GC workshop last year).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And - my off topic question - does anyone have any suggestions as to what two life-long east-coasters simply MUST DO while in Oregon or north CA?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any suggestions/help/advice will be sincerely appreciated! Can't wait!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;:-)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Mary&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/c9f46122-fe44-4561-806e-97a86bbaeede</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I have a few questions (and any help is appreciated!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Down &amp;amp; Up ... is this a 3/4 Shimmy with a level change?
&lt;br/&gt;Arabic Down &amp;amp; Up - is this also known as Arabic Variation 1?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Does anyone know what music was used on this video? I have a VHS, and I can't seem to find it listed anywhere (I've gone through all the Gypsy Caravan CD's I have, and I cannot seem to find any of it).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks much!&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;One of these days, I will write an ode to Paulette.
&lt;br/&gt;In the meantime, I've just gotten back from doing Collective Soul 2 in Ararat.
&lt;br/&gt;Paulette seriously kicked my ass. Everything I thought I knew, I soon realised that I didn't know at all! She corrected my bad habits, she fixed my posture, she cracked the whip and it was exactly what I needed!
&lt;br/&gt;I haven't enjoyed myself so much in ages!
&lt;br/&gt;I hope to have her here in South Australia next year so I can spread the GC love!&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;sorry, this post is loosely, very loosely, related to bellydance.  actually the only connection is because I'm a bellydancer.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm a new transplant to Oregon and the vast majority of my Oregon and Portland experiences were related to Tribal Quest.  Guess that's why I'm looking to you all as the experts ;).  Well, I'm out in Hood River and I'm searching for certain services:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;fabric stores (places to get $2/yd muslim, trims &amp;amp; buttons, lace and gorgeous/expensive fabric to drool over)
&lt;br/&gt;co-op grocery store...organic, local, bulk goods 
&lt;br/&gt;the correct name of the BIG asian market (Fubar?? something like that?) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;anything in Portland or the Gorge would be helpful.  thank you in advance for your help!&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/0338f231-240f-4119-98bb-72b223941067</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello ladies!
&lt;br/&gt;Can't wait to see you all and swing some fans around at the workshop next week!
&lt;br/&gt;I just wanted to say, if you don't have a fan, don't worry-  I'll be bringing lots and you can get some of your very own. :)
&lt;br/&gt;If you've seen the fans before that I carry, and you know one style in particular you want, let me know and I'll make sure to have them.
&lt;br/&gt;Let's work off that Turkey!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>our new CD!  Remarkably Remixed...have you heard it yet?</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/f4efd9e1-9f3a-43dd-8319-0251900b8ccb</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Part of the Gypsy Caravan experience is that it takes all of us together to create our music and dance. This remix brings in a few local friends whom we asked to take the songs from our original rhythm CD and do a groovin’ dance remix.  and wow, can you dance to it!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;it is now available from our web site. Check it out!
&lt;br/&gt;www.gypsycaravan.us
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;let us know what you think, and which is your favorite track! mine are track #10, Soaring Gait,  and #13, Six/Eight Reloaded, the coolest 6/8!
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I would just like to say a big thank you to Paulette, Jen and Gina for a fab weekend last weekend when Steffi and her tribe, Barefoot Bellydance, hosted a weekend of workshops with these fine, fine ladies here in freezing cold UK!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So many things made sooooo much sense.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Keep on smiling and dancing ladies - you are infectious!
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/f74ea39c-a1a8-42d7-9bb9-3eb6af38c235</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi, 
&lt;br/&gt;Can someone help me with a breakdown of the Tunisian move please?  I did it in a GC workshop a couple of weeks ago with no problems, but I can't for the life of me remember what the hip movements do or what the count is, and my notes don't make any sense!
&lt;br/&gt;Any advice gratefully received
&lt;br/&gt;TIA Kirsty&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Vol 1 Easel position help</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/87d8682d-f1eb-41cb-8124-357e5fdde1b5</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I just got Vol 1&amp;amp;2 and had a question. I'm familiar with Fat Chance format but new to GC and so was working through these.
&lt;br/&gt;The Easel Position in Vol 1 just has me stumped and wondering if anyone could break it down (even stick drawings would be appreciated lol)
&lt;br/&gt;I take it the feet are in a turn out position correct , with a bend in the knees, open according to the explaination( a V similar to ballat?) 
&lt;br/&gt;No matter what or how I position I cant seem to get it where I feel balanced and weight seems to far forward.  I have also got problems with having knees bent at that angle, they refuse to open as demonstrated. I often have problems with anything turned out due to my knees just being uncooperative so I'm wondering if that might be the problem. I'm one of those people who can't sit cross legged but can turn my legs opposite out to the side and I can do a perfect T with knees together and feet out, flat to the floor lol
&lt;br/&gt;I have no problem with the bigger Easel used in the Structural roll with the foot farther back.
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone have suggestions on this one for me please? Help..&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Question about Spanish Walk</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/523aa17c-c051-4b71-90d9-9eb940266e22</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;When moving forward and backward with Spanish Walk, are your hips moving up and down?  On volume 3 of the GC instructional DVD's the move is taught with just foot-work and arm-work mentioned but when I watched the practice part, some of the dances were adding what looked like a slow 3/4 hip shimmy on top when moving back.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;WE FOUND IT!
&lt;br/&gt;RAinbow included
&lt;br/&gt;amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazin g place
&lt;br/&gt;3 huge rivers
&lt;br/&gt;1 really big where there is river side camping, pretty much eveybody 
&lt;br/&gt;can camp on the river, then it extends into the second cristal blue 
&lt;br/&gt;river that emanates from a rock!!!!!! its unbelievable, the rivers 
&lt;br/&gt;starts gushing straight from the rocks sourounded by caves, and 
&lt;br/&gt;stalakites, cristal clear pure water, enough for 1000 generations, 
&lt;br/&gt;its really a celestial place. there are tons of huge pools, and one 
&lt;br/&gt;that seems like a sanctuary really sacred grounds. Its one of the 
&lt;br/&gt;most amazing natural wonders i have ever seen. its boggling to see a 
&lt;br/&gt;cascade come out of a rock! the area is really surreal. 
&lt;br/&gt;then the cirle can hold around 5000 people at least, holding hands 
&lt;br/&gt;perfeclty flat, sourounded by the main river. camping can be along 
&lt;br/&gt;the river, on the main grasslands or in the jungle.
&lt;br/&gt;there are no ticks, though at the santuary there are mozzies. 
&lt;br/&gt;there is a parking spot that can hold about 300 cars easy and is by 
&lt;br/&gt;the river.
&lt;br/&gt;And last but not least is that the land is for sale.
&lt;br/&gt;so a community can be formed.
&lt;br/&gt;just the water alone is an amazing eternal wealth. 
&lt;br/&gt;and the beuaty of the spot is priceless, yesterday as we were coming 
&lt;br/&gt;back, it started raining, as we were wondering if too keep on 
&lt;br/&gt;looking and just then a rainbow appered pointing to the spot.
&lt;br/&gt;hence divine intervention! 
&lt;br/&gt;We also went with a super amazing crew, and made some music for the 
&lt;br/&gt;people. We told them what we wanted to do and they were very exited.
&lt;br/&gt;so there is welcome from the owners of the land and the recently 
&lt;br/&gt;emerging miny comunity that is about 5 km from the place, it is very 
&lt;br/&gt;remote. no people in the area, good privacy. 
&lt;br/&gt;there is a medium size town about 90 min away, and a full on city 
&lt;br/&gt;(las choapas) about 150 min away.
&lt;br/&gt;So there is a lot of abundance of water and land.
&lt;br/&gt;land here is stil pretty cheap.
&lt;br/&gt;though i havent closed a price with the owner, he is open to 
&lt;br/&gt;negotiate and even more if we do what i hope we can make out of it. 
&lt;br/&gt;We are planing to start the seed camp dragon portal 30 november, and 
&lt;br/&gt;plant watermelons, tomatoes, cabbage and all kinds of veggies, that 
&lt;br/&gt;will hopefully give fruit toward the end of the gathierng. We foudn 
&lt;br/&gt;a horse cart to bring the food in, there are also some canoes. and 
&lt;br/&gt;we have pots and stuff for the seed camp. though it would be nice to 
&lt;br/&gt;get in some cool seeds, and people to work in the SEED CAMP 
&lt;br/&gt;(literally) 
&lt;br/&gt;We also want to work on the kitchens and some cob building, and 
&lt;br/&gt;whaetver we need to organize for x amount of people.
&lt;br/&gt;the actual gathering will start (Portal resonating dragon) 29 of 
&lt;br/&gt;january, let me know what you think we havent sealed the dates yet 
&lt;br/&gt;though we are about to! 
&lt;br/&gt;hope you are happy, we will compose an oficial invite these days, 
&lt;br/&gt;but youc an pass it on.
&lt;br/&gt;just dont mass mail it please untill we have all the info down.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;for more info check

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi Lovely Ladies of the Caravan!  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Jen and Dulcinea visited Hotlanta for Southern Fusion Fest and they used a great song during several of the workshops that starts with a rooster crow! I must have this song! I thought I knew where to get it so I got the Gypsy Soul CD from PUTUMAYO, and also bout the Gypsy Groove CD they were selling but I cannot find it on either CD 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&amp;lt; sad face &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can anyone help me find the Rooster song?? 
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/d1526748-2dd2-465c-8ae7-00eebc50318e</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Urban Paradoxes has been contracted to take on a major urban arts (of all genres, including performance and kinetic) project and will be in need of urban artists throughout the world as the project unfolds. For more information please send a message via Tribe or UrbanParadoxes@yahoo.com and we will get back to you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are defining "urban art" as any form of art, any genre, that intersects with the urban experience and/or urban issues, e.g., art that makes people consider/reconsider how they perceive urban experience.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We would also appreciate it if you would past this request on to others.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks,
&lt;br/&gt;Frank
&lt;br/&gt;Urban Paradoxes&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;&amp;amp;lt;http://www.reforest a.nomadsunited. com/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;VERY SOON INFORMATION ON THE INTERGALACTIC RAINBOW GATHERING TO TAKE
&lt;br/&gt;PLACE IN &amp;amp;lt;http:///&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;MEXICO ON NOVEMBER 2007 &amp;amp;lt;http:///&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;LOCATION:
&lt;br/&gt;The event will take place north of Chiapas, Mexico. Close to a village
&lt;br/&gt;called Ostuacan.
&lt;br/&gt;Camping is on the shores of a deep river, where swimming is fantastic.
&lt;br/&gt;Nearby is the Chichonal Active Volcano, that in it's crater holds a lake
&lt;br/&gt;with emerging volcanic hot water, an unforgettable experience. (swimming
&lt;br/&gt;is possible with a bit of common sense and taking certain precautions)
&lt;br/&gt;There will are also many beautiful horses, and a few excursions will be
&lt;br/&gt;arranged, though we cant guarantee that everyone will be able to take
&lt;br/&gt;part in this activity.
&lt;br/&gt;We use horses to transport the baby trees to their location minimizing
&lt;br/&gt;our carbon emissions.
&lt;br/&gt;The event is non-commercial, and is free for all, we maintain a
&lt;br/&gt;vegetarian food diet, basic maintenance choirs should be shared equally
&lt;br/&gt;by all those attending.
&lt;br/&gt;We count on donations to feed everyone as well as support from
&lt;br/&gt;environmental institutions, we also raise funds through the shows we
&lt;br/&gt;offer in the communities. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
&lt;br/&gt;We consider essential to compliment the reforestations with
&lt;br/&gt;environmental education initiatives thus helping raise awareness of the
&lt;br/&gt;importance of planting trees and conservation. We work together with
&lt;br/&gt;governmental and nongovernmental organization to help monitor the trees.
&lt;br/&gt;We organize plantations in schools accompanied by the students, in this
&lt;br/&gt;case we prefer to plant fruit trees which also helps the students to
&lt;br/&gt;have fresh fruits right in school, this being specially very beneficial
&lt;br/&gt;in low income villages.
&lt;br/&gt;Fruit orchard planting in School (21st of May)
&lt;br/&gt;For more info on our environmental education program please check:
&lt;br/&gt;www.edu.nomadsunite d.com &amp;amp;lt;http://www.edu. nomadsunited. com/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;COMMUNITY OUTREACH MULTI ETHNIC PERFORMANCE
&lt;br/&gt;7th of May Community annual Fair,
&lt;br/&gt;24th May Post Reforestation Performance offering.
&lt;br/&gt;In our reforestations we seek to reach out to the local community by
&lt;br/&gt;creating a multi-ethnic show, so after the end of the festival we
&lt;br/&gt;usually offer this event to the community, which usually includes music

&lt;br/&gt;March for global Cooling
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This reforestation will be the launch of
&lt;br/&gt;a new campaign to help revert global warming.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Remember that the earth does not belong to Mankind
&lt;br/&gt;But Mankind to the earth.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We march with the earth
&lt;br/&gt;and for the earth
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;and her voice is our voice!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;www.march.nomadsuni ted.com &amp;amp;lt;http://march. nomadsunited. com/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Why reforest
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Reforestations are essential activities to help revitalize the health of
&lt;br/&gt;the Earth and combat climate change. Today around the world the
&lt;br/&gt;deforestation has grown to an alarming rate exceeding by far the index
&lt;br/&gt;of reforestations, this brings catastrophic consequences to the
&lt;br/&gt;atmosphere as well as for other organisms that's depend on these forests
&lt;br/&gt;for habitat..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We have but a short time to avert damaging and economically debilitating
&lt;br/&gt;climate change. We also have all the economic, intellectual and
&lt;br/&gt;technological know-how to head off this calamity and avoid the
&lt;br/&gt;disruption and misery that inaction would entail.
&lt;br/&gt;The solutions are numerous and, as many economists say, affordable when
&lt;br/&gt;compared with the costs of complacency.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Globally, forest cover is at least one-third less than what it once was.
&lt;br/&gt;It is time to reverse the trends, it is time to act.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Climate change confronts us now. There is no longer conjecture or debate
&lt;br/&gt;around an abstract or hypothetical future. We need action. We need to
&lt;br/&gt;plant trees and in doing so send a signal to the corridors of political
&lt;br/&gt;power across the globe that the watching and waiting is over â€"
&lt;br/&gt;that countering climate change can take root via one billion small but
&lt;br/&gt;significant acts in our gardens, parks, countryside and rural areas.
&lt;br/&gt;Achim Steiner, Executive Director
&lt;br/&gt;United Nations Environment Programme
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;â€ The question is not whether climate change is happening but
&lt;br/&gt;whether, in the face of this emergency, we ourselves can change fast
&lt;br/&gt;enoughâ€

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our reforestation programs.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our innovative reforestations combine the plantation of trees fused with
&lt;br/&gt;a multicultural events, workshops and temporary ecologically friendly
&lt;br/&gt;living spaces that last from a few days to several weeks. This promotes
&lt;br/&gt;reforestation events not only as necessary duty of each individual to
&lt;br/&gt;combat climate change, but coordinating a culturally appealing and
&lt;br/&gt;spiritually earthbinding.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Through the reforestations and creative activities and workshops we
&lt;br/&gt;intend to generate a deep and lasting effect, as much for the local
&lt;br/&gt;communities as well as for the participants and simultaneously create a
&lt;br/&gt;forest or of fruit orchard that can also help as nutritious source of
&lt;br/&gt;food of the communities, as well as to absorb carbon dioxide emissions
&lt;br/&gt;which are exceeding on our planet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Another key point is the life and direct experience of participating in
&lt;br/&gt;an temporal ecological community with all the benefits and complications
&lt;br/&gt;that this carries, thus also promoting ecovillage living and a more
&lt;br/&gt;sustainable lifestyle. Workshops are offered on a volunteer basis, We
&lt;br/&gt;ask from those attending consideration in order to maintain a
&lt;br/&gt;harmonically working community as well promoting principals of respect
&lt;br/&gt;towards the environment.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Participants upon arrival are advised to sign in agreement to a letter
&lt;br/&gt;of terms conditions that are provided upon entry, in this way the basic
&lt;br/&gt;concepts of communitarian life are established and the people are
&lt;br/&gt;informed regarding basic notions of how to behave in the environment,
&lt;br/&gt;preventing the space from suffering negative ecological effects.
&lt;br/&gt;We use horses to transport the baby trees to their location minimizing
&lt;br/&gt;our carbon emissions. The event is non-commercial, and is free for all,
&lt;br/&gt;we maintain a vegetarian food diet, basic maintenance choirs should be
&lt;br/&gt;shared equally by all those attending.
&lt;br/&gt;We count on donations to feed everyone as well as support from
&lt;br/&gt;environmental institutions, we also raise funds through the shows we
&lt;br/&gt;offer in the communities.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We consider essential to compliment the reforestations with
&lt;br/&gt;environmental education initiatives thus helping raise awareness of the
&lt;br/&gt;importance of planting trees and conservation. We work together with
&lt;br/&gt;governmental and nongovernmental organization to help monitor the trees.
&lt;br/&gt;We organize plantations in schools accompanied by the students, in this
&lt;br/&gt;case we prefer to plant fruit trees which also helps the students to
&lt;br/&gt;have fresh fruits right in school, this being specially very beneficial
&lt;br/&gt;in low income villages.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Temporary ecovillage habitat.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Participants have the opportunity to offer workshops with a cultural or
&lt;br/&gt;ecological focus, like for example: Acoustic Music, permaculture, cob
&lt;br/&gt;brick building, African Dance, collective Intelligence, consensus and
&lt;br/&gt;facilitation, handcrafts from recycled materials, Horse maintenance and
&lt;br/&gt;care, temascal (sweat lodge), Maya calendar, African percussion, yoga,
&lt;br/&gt;martial arts and capoeira
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In order to be able to live in this communal space that hosts a
&lt;br/&gt;considerable amount of people, it is necessary to distribute the work
&lt;br/&gt;equitably. For that reason we created the energetic administration that
&lt;br/&gt;equilibrates workload. Which is vital in successfully maintain an
&lt;br/&gt;organic community in a natural context.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In the morning, after the breakfast we form a circle of discussion where
&lt;br/&gt;people take responsibility for choirs and activities. The tasks are
&lt;br/&gt;distributed according to the amount of people that attend, divided by
&lt;br/&gt;the amount of necessary activities.
&lt;br/&gt;Usually during or after every reforestation we take the time to organize
&lt;br/&gt;a show for the village, that combines ethnic music, dances and many
&lt;br/&gt;acts. We also use the space and time to respectfully transmit ecological
&lt;br/&gt;messages.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This innovative initiative seeks to venture into new way of creating
&lt;br/&gt;events without a negative impact to environment, as well also to raise
&lt;br/&gt;awareness in the participants and the local communities, on the
&lt;br/&gt;importance of reforestations and sustainable development in a creative,
&lt;br/&gt;dynamic, attractive and effective method.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I was wanting to do the level 1 collective soul next year and was wondering if there was possibly a workbook or manual in the works to go with the dvd series to help those of us in the boonies and not near a Gypsy Caravan format teacher? 
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks : )&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Gypsy Caravan in Buffalo, NY!!!!</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/3b0083ab-aa68-4367-bd48-4b89a2d025b3</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Northern Migration's Gala show will take place on July 14th, 2007......Tickets  are on sale now!!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Doors open at 6:30 pm
&lt;br/&gt;Tickets are $20 and available at Heartbeat of the East studio in Buffalo and on the web at  www.northernmigration.net. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;UNMATA, Zafira, Kassar, Sashi, Tribal Feat, Frederique and Gypsy Caravan all in one night in Ani Difranco's Church? These are the HOTTEST tickets in the world!!!
&lt;br/&gt;------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Heartbeat of the East World Dance Studio is pleased to announce that this year's Northern Migration Tribal/Alt Dance Festival will be held at Asbury Hall at The Church! The Church, located in the heart of downtown Buffalo, New York, was saved from the wrecking ball by the Righteous Babe herself, Ms. Ani DiFranco. We are very pleased to say that the Righteous Babe Foundation will be the corporate sponsor of Northern Migration 2007.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Beautiful cannot begin to describe the space at Asbury Hall at The Church. From its soaring steeple, to its Medina sandstone Gothic Revival facade, to its Booth &amp;amp; Reister stained glass windows, The Church will be an inspiring backdrop to learn from the leading instructors of Tribal belly dance. The venue is perfect for our festival. There are beautiful hardwood floors for dancers' tender feet and there is a state of the art geothermal heating and cooling system. It is an environmentally-friendly approach for providing climate control. Finally, there is a plethora of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and shops nearby to enhance your Buffalo experience.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This year, the festival will have an area known as Valizan's Casbah! The Casbah, located in the castle like underbelly of The Church, will offer a space where you can relax between classes, take notes, practice newly learned combos and grab a snack and a refreshing beverage. The Casbah will be open to all festival attendees but will be closed during the drumming classes which will be located in an adjoining room.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Each attendee will be given a welcome packet upon signing in that will give you tourist information for the Greater Buffalo Niagara region, a map to lead you to nearby restaurants, shops and clubs and a little goody to boot! We envision a great festival for all of you as we strive to make you feel welcome and appreciated and as we bid you farewell, we hope that you leave with a giant smile and a little place in your heart for the festival we call- Northern Migration!

      <title>8 panel skirt?</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/755591bb-9399-4f0c-8c18-55bca603da93</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Ok, here is what seems to be a silly question.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We have just received our 8 panel skirts and love them, they are truely gorgeous!  However mine is very stiff in the coloured panel, the fabric is shiney, and doesn't really move because it is so stiff.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any clues on how to fix this up?  I am a little hesitant to wash it incase the colours run....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Name that step!</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/gypsycaravan/thread/50bd041c-819d-4cdb-9bc8-e0bb93199872</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I went to a workshop with GC in Orlando back in March of this year and learned a step (or two, or 12!). There is one that we have adopted but I cannot remember the name of it and would REALLY like to know what it is called. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The step goes to the corners, with hand in front of face like you are looking into a mirror and an upper body focus (like the arabic got put upside down); 4 counts for each side. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can anyone name that step for me?? &lt;/div&gt;
