      Hi there Jim,

      from reading your posts i see that you are a very popular, fun, and capable belly dance instructor.
      Would you ever consider doing a tour which included the U.K specifically the south of England?

          Funny you should ask... ;)

          Yup, I'll be in the UK Aug 1-18-ish, but alas, the furthest south I'm getting is London.

          Dates right now are:
          Aug 2 - London
          Aug 3 - Suffolk
          Aug 9/10 - Dublin, Ireland
          Aug 11-14 - JWAAD Summer School, Hertfordshire
          Aug 16/7 - North Wales

          I have some time between Aug 4-8 if you or someone you know would be able to accommodate me. I know it's weekdays, but if there's interest I'll be happy to update my schedule! :)

          I'll also be in Brussels and Paris in November.

            Unfortunately as its school holidays, people will either be working using childcare, or away themselves, so i cant see any workshops getting enough bookings on a week day to make it worth your while : (

            I am extremely intrested in your london date, and of course JWAAD is run by Josephine Wise at Rothschild Manor.
            Was just humming and hahhing about whether i'd be able to go there.

            Do you have the details for the London date yet?

              Yeah, I know how that happens. Blame the gang in Suffolk, they started this whole thing.
              I hope I'll be back in 2008! Fingers crossed!

              But, in all honesty, if I have that week free, I'm going to go visit some friends in France. That would be nice!

              London is being coordinated by Charlotte Desorgher. We're only having workshops, but I think the details are still being ironed.
              And yeah: I know Jo. :)
              She had me teaching at the International Belly Dance Congress at Bognor Regis last Sept!
              Innnnteresting place...GREAT people and we (Frederique David) and i had a blast!

              At JWAAD's summer school I'm teaching a couple of workshops. Tues & Wed I think.

                Brilliant, Charlotte is based in Croydon, fairfield halls i think?
                She nearly killed me with one of her Nubian bounce beat workshops lol, but it was great fun.
                Yes Borgnor regis is well know for the more Adult weekend Functions, i hope the weather was half decent for you, when i went in june, they had monsoon style rain!

                I will keep an eye out in the Taqasim publications, and e-mail her for more details.

                Many thanks, i hope to see you the in the summer

    Woo Hoo! There are 8 dates I can make, barring any major monkey wrenches thrown at me. Yep, just call me a Boz Junkie. No fix for me this month since I have rehearsal this Sunday *pout*, but I will be seeing you next year!

      Yes, that is a full schedule. Down time in December will be good, so you will be rested enough for VEGAS in MAY 09 <giggle>.

        Yeah, we'll probably have someone steal my 2009 Tour Name and stick it on CafePress shirts too, BUT

        Las Vegas in May 2009 - Part of the LIVE TO SHIMMY ~ SHIMMY TO LIVE Tour!!

        Other stops in 2009:
        Santa Cruz, CA
        Houston, TX
        Ft Walton Beach, FL (x3!)
        3rd Annual Belly Cruise - Thru the Bermuda Triangle!
        & possibly Boston

        Hopefully will be in Europe & the UK again, in addition to another Cairo trip.

        I haven't named the 2010 tour yet
        Have a tentative in Dallas, TX & MAJMA in Glastonbury, UK
        Plus my regular visits to Ft Walton Beach, FL (Intensives & Certification Weekends)

          It is so cool that you are booked so far in advance. A little tuff on us spaonsors, but great for you. Bermuda Triangle sounds very spooky.

            It's good and bad to be booked that far,indeed. However, I'm doing gigs this year that people booked 2 years ago so the contracts have my rates from 2 years ago. ;)

            Some sponsors book that far in advance, some don't.
            I've unfortunately been in the position of holding a weekend for someone, and then they either cancel the event, or change the date, and I'm left with a weekend I could have been working.

            It's been tough in the household because I now plan vacations 1-2 years in advance. I'm just getting the hang of being able to turn down a gig because I need *down* time. Too many years playing with off and on burnout, and having to go AWOL. Now I just schedule my 'mental holidays'.

            Some promoters tho I'll make time if I can. You're one of 'em sugar. :)
            Okay, I'm lying - it's only cuz you're in Vegas now and I LOOOOOVE Vegas!
