What are those pants that the troupe is wearing at the Caravan Dance Collective - Int'l Women's Day?

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.

"Tribal Fest Tribal Jam Band - featuring Jeff!!

ChuckTheDJ — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:09:15 GMT

Welcome to info on Tribal Fest’s first ever “Tribal Bellydance Jam Band”.

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..

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)

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!

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??!!

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!

Now if THAT weren’t enough excitement, of course it is an “Open Floor Dance Time”!!

Time for all you Tribal dancers to get up and show the world that you can dance as one. Improv at it’s finest!

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.

This will go down in history!

Jeremiah Soto
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
project, thus forming Solace in 1995.
www.soundsofsolace.com/solace/

Jeff Rees
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.
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.
www.gypsycaravan.us/mizna.php

August Hoerr, Accordionist
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.
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.

Breitenbush Weekend Retreat 2009-registration starts September 15th!

Paulette — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 14:44:17 GMT

the 16th annual
Women's Weekend Workshop
ANCIENT ECHOES OF TRIBAL BELLYDANCE
Celebrating Women and Community

Tribal Vision
with Paulette Rees Denis,
Gypsy Caravan,
Again with very special guest instructors,
Amel Tafsout and Lynea Gillen
at Breitenbush Hot Springs - April 24-26, 2008

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.
All levels are welcome for the weekend although some experience of belly dance is necessary.
(Not for non-dancers please)

The weekend will include Paulette’s invigorating tribal style belly dance instruction, workout, and journaling sessions;
along with Lynea’s Yoga for bellydancers and her hot blend of African Tribal dance.
Add Amel’s singing and healing dances, and what a weekend!

Be ready to sweat and groove, dance and laugh.

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!
Retreat starts Friday night at dinner until Sunday at noon before lunch.

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!

Say It Ain't So!

Mally — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:25:38 GMT

"Caravan Studio is closing.
Yes, here is the big news, which saddens my heart to tell you. Caravan Studio must close its’ doors.
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.
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.
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.
Meanwhile, I am still dancing and teaching and touring. Gypsy Caravan lives on!" -from da site.

I take heart in the troupe continuing, but what am I gonna do with myself?!?!

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!

Tribal Photos Found - Do They Belong To Anybody?

Nicky — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:14:34 GMT

Hi Gypsy Caravan gals!

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.

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:
"Dear Miss Deltzerwas. Here to visit her former Kindergarten Student from England"

The date stamp is April 2006. I've posted a couple of the photos on my BellyNut tribe photo album: tribes.tribe.net/bellynuttribal

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!

Thanks,
Nicola

Renee — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:57:44 GMT

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!

Portland Dancers and Musicians!

Paulette — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:59:27 GMT

Dancers and Musicians,
call for Tribal Lounge performers for Imbibe Restauarant!

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?

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!
and if you've done it once, you can do it again!

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.
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.

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!

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.
And come, watch and support community of artists, too!
Thanks so much, and please pass this on to the dancers and musicians you know.

Looking for good Lebonese food in Portland

Kari — Tue, 06 May 2008 20:40:12 GMT

Hello ladies,
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.

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.

Love,
Kari

Visiting Portland...and a bit OT

Mary — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:16:44 GMT

Hello!

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).

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?

Any suggestions/help/advice will be sincerely appreciated! Can't wait!!

:-)

Tribal Technique Volume 3

BrendaKL-A — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:23:01 GMT

I have a few questions (and any help is appreciated!)

Down & Up ... is this a 3/4 Shimmy with a level change?
Arabic Down & Up - is this also known as Arabic Variation 1?

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).

Thanks much!

Kicks my ass, rocks my world....

Mirahmar — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 22:18:50 GMT

One of these days, I will write an ode to Paulette.
In the meantime, I've just gotten back from doing Collective Soul 2 in Ararat.
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!
I haven't enjoyed myself so much in ages!
I hope to have her here in South Australia next year so I can spread the GC love!

share your favorites?

Colette — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:23:46 GMT

sorry, this post is loosely, very loosely, related to bellydance. actually the only connection is because I'm a bellydancer.

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:

fabric stores (places to get $2/yd muslim, trims & buttons, lace and gorgeous/expensive fabric to drool over)
co-op grocery store...organic, local, bulk goods
the correct name of the BIG asian market (Fubar?? something like that?)

anything in Portland or the Gorge would be helpful. thank you in advance for your help!

Vol 1 Easel position help

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:30:45 GMT

I just got Vol 1&2 and had a question. I'm familiar with Fat Chance format but new to GC and so was working through these.
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)
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?)
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
I have no problem with the bigger Easel used in the Structural roll with the foot farther back.
Anyone have suggestions on this one for me please? Help..

Question about Spanish Walk

Barb aka Fikriyyah — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:15:51 GMT

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.

intergalactic rainbow ,mexico

budgie — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 09:30:51 GMT

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

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

< sad face >

Can anyone help me find the Rooster song??

VERY SOON INFORMATION ON THE INTERGALACTIC RAINBOW GATHERING TO TAKE
PLACE IN <http:///>
MEXICO ON NOVEMBER 2007 <http:///>
LOCATION:
The event will take place north of Chiapas, Mexico. Close to a village
called Ostuacan.
Camping is on the shores of a deep river, where swimming is fantastic.
Nearby is the Chichonal Active Volcano, that in it's crater holds a lake
with emerging volcanic hot water, an unforgettable experience. (swimming
is possible with a bit of common sense and taking certain precautions)
There will are also many beautiful horses, and a few excursions will be
arranged, though we cant guarantee that everyone will be able to take
part in this activity.
We use horses to transport the baby trees to their location minimizing
our carbon emissions.
The event is non-commercial, and is free for all, we maintain a
vegetarian food diet, basic maintenance choirs should be shared equally
by all those attending.
We count on donations to feed everyone as well as support from

We consider essential to compliment the reforestations with
environmental education initiatives thus helping raise awareness of the
importance of planting trees and conservation. We work together with
governmental and nongovernmental organization to help monitor the trees.
We organize plantations in schools accompanied by the students, in this
case we prefer to plant fruit trees which also helps the students to
have fresh fruits right in school, this being specially very beneficial
in low income villages.

March for global Cooling

This reforestation will be the launch of
a new campaign to help revert global warming.

Remember that the earth does not belong to Mankind
But Mankind to the earth.

We march with the earth
and for the earth

and her voice is our voice!

Why reforest

Reforestations are essential activities to help revitalize the health of
the Earth and combat climate change. Today around the world the
deforestation has grown to an alarming rate exceeding by far the index
of reforestations, this brings catastrophic consequences to the
atmosphere as well as for other organisms that's depend on these forests
for habitat..

We have but a short time to avert damaging and economically debilitating
climate change. We also have all the economic, intellectual and
technological know-how to head off this calamity and avoid the
disruption and misery that inaction would entail.
The solutions are numerous and, as many economists say, affordable when
compared with the costs of complacency.

Globally, forest cover is at least one-third less than what it once was.
It is time to reverse the trends, it is time to act.

Climate change confronts us now. There is no longer conjecture or debate
around an abstract or hypothetical future. We need action. We need to
plant trees and in doing so send a signal to the corridors of political
power across the globe that the watching and waiting is over â€"
that countering climate change can take root via one billion small but
significant acts in our gardens, parks, countryside and rural areas.
Achim Steiner, Executive Director
United Nations Environment Programme

â€ The question is not whether climate change is happening but
whether, in the face of this emergency, we ourselves can change fast
enoughâ€
Kofi annan

Our reforestation programs.

Our innovative reforestations combine the plantation of trees fused with
a multicultural events, workshops and temporary ecologically friendly
living spaces that last from a few days to several weeks. This promotes
reforestation events not only as necessary duty of each individual to
combat climate change, but coordinating a culturally appealing and
spiritually earthbinding.

Through the reforestations and creative activities and workshops we
intend to generate a deep and lasting effect, as much for the local
communities as well as for the participants and simultaneously create a
forest or of fruit orchard that can also help as nutritious source of
food of the communities, as well as to absorb carbon dioxide emissions
which are exceeding on our planet.

Another key point is the life and direct experience of participating in
an temporal ecological community with all the benefits and complications
that this carries, thus also promoting ecovillage living and a more
sustainable lifestyle. Workshops are offered on a volunteer basis, We
ask from those attending consideration in order to maintain a
harmonically working community as well promoting principals of respect
towards the environment.

Participants upon arrival are advised to sign in agreement to a letter
of terms conditions that are provided upon entry, in this way the basic
concepts of communitarian life are established and the people are

Temporary ecovillage habitat.

Participants have the opportunity to offer workshops with a cultural or
ecological focus, like for example: Acoustic Music, permaculture, cob
brick building, African Dance, collective Intelligence, consensus and
facilitation, handcrafts from recycled materials, Horse maintenance and
care, temascal (sweat lodge), Maya calendar, African percussion, yoga,
martial arts and capoeira

In order to be able to live in this communal space that hosts a
considerable amount of people, it is necessary to distribute the work
equitably. For that reason we created the energetic administration that
equilibrates workload. Which is vital in successfully maintain an
organic community in a natural context.

In the morning, after the breakfast we form a circle of discussion where
people take responsibility for choirs and activities. The tasks are
distributed according to the amount of people that attend, divided by
the amount of necessary activities.
Usually during or after every reforestation we take the time to organize
a show for the village, that combines ethnic music, dances and many
acts. We also use the space and time to respectfully transmit ecological
messages.

This innovative initiative seeks to venture into new way of creating
events without a negative impact to environment, as well also to raise
awareness in the participants and the local communities, on the
importance of reforestations and sustainable development in a creative,
dynamic, attractive and effective method.

Gypsy Caravan in Buffalo, NY!!!!

Miss Vicky — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 19:28:06 GMT

Northern Migration's Gala show will take place on July 14th, 2007......Tickets are on sale now!!!

Doors open at 6:30 pm
Tickets are $20 and available at Heartbeat of the East studio in Buffalo and on the web at www.northernmigration.net.

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!!!
------------------------------------

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.

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 & 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.

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.

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!

8 panel skirt?

Amanda Hugnkiss — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 02:36:46 GMT

Ok, here is what seems to be a silly question.

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.

Any clues on how to fix this up? I am a little hesitant to wash it incase the colours run....

Thanks in advance.

Name that step!

Altaira — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 16:12:11 GMT

Hi!

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.

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.

Can anyone name that step for me??
