Wow....what a weekend!! Magic is the only way to describe it. The weather even cooperated except for one afternoon when it rained. But we had a beautiful sunset every night and bright sunny days to enjoy the beach when we weren't dancing.

Dancers from all over the world met & got to know one another while sharpening their skills as belly dancers with instructors Aziza, Bahaia, & Cheryl Bushey.

People here on the island will talk about the Saturday night Gala Show for a long time...it was truly magical. Every dancer looked beautiful & graceful under the Carribean sky. Troupe Wi 'am, my dance group, had a wonderful performance and I was very proud of them especially since this was the first perfomance for most of them. Neenah amazed the audience with her dazzling sword & coins, Cheryl added her beautiful Egyptian style, while Bahaia entertained us all with her beautiful, bouncy baladi. Aziza...well she's always fabulous but the audience was really wowed by her veil poi and her mesmerizing isolations. I've actually had people call me to ask “how does she do that thing with her chest?”


I especially want to thank all of the ladies who joined this year. Y'all were a truly special group and I enjoyed getting acquainted with all of you. Hope to see you all back again next year and bring a friend....

Life is good!!!
