Has anyone heard from Mandy in Kildare?

2008-06-24T16:02:15Z

I've been trying to get a hold of Mandy McLoughlin in Kildare. She's hosting workshops with Ozgen on the 5th /6th July and Ozgen hasn't been able to contact her. I've tried emailing, sending her a text and phoning her but no reply. Has anyone any idea where she is and if so, can they let her know Ozgen is trying to contact her URGENTLY.

Thank you

Searching for Sarah

2008-06-14T09:19:39Z

I’m looking for a member of this tribe; Sarah from Dublin.

I haven’t been able to contact her by email and am wondering whether to be alarmed (is she OK?) or annoyed (is she ignoring my emails?). As this is becoming am urgent matter, I thought I’d try to reach her via her tribe…..I know it’s “off topic” but I’m getting desperate!

So, can anyone “out there” tell me if she is OK? And if so, will she PLEASE contact me.

Thanks & cheers Rosemarie

What's That Music?

2007-01-22T08:50:43Z

Hi Ladies,
I was wondering what the music is that is at the opening of the videos I have watched
on Sandra's and Catherine's profile page? Beautiful dancing by the way.
It has that haunting Celtic sound which, of course, is so connected to the ME sound.

I am fascinated with that connection- goes without saying, with the Lebanese- Phoenician-
Irish Kings- ancient connection.
Beautiful!

gypsy vs romany

2006-10-13T22:52:31Z

I have posted this in the voice of roma tribe too, would like to hear everyones opinion about this:
(And I hope noone is taking it the wrong way...)
A lot of people, especially bellydancers (including some of my closest friends) are calling themselves gypsy. I can understand where this is coming from but lately I have been thinking about this a bit and discussed it with other romany people (some here on tribe) and I think that people have to understand that the name gypsy, although it is a wrong description (roma people used to be called gypsies because they were thought to come from egypt which isn,t true, they originate in India) stands for a particular culture, the roma culture. Roma people have, since over 1000 years been travelling because they don't have a state. They have a terrible history of persecution and other forms of racism up til today. Not much to do with the romantic image people have about the gypsies dancing around the fire. Most of them did that because it's cold and would rather dance in a warm house. Nowadays roma people are struggling for recognition and most of them don't like the term gypsy being mis-used by people who don't know much about this culture at all. I understand from talking to my friends very much the connection they feel with some aspects of this lifestyle and I think they are representing something very real and colourful and free and fantastic but maybe under the wrong name?
I am asking all of you for your opinion and would like to know from people why they are choosing to call themselves gypsy?
And I don't want to sound as narrowminded but I know that all my romany friends who work with roma issue dont like it and I want to make this known. (I am only part romany and half a gadji... ;-)

Off the topic - but very funny!!

2006-06-22T12:00:40Z

I found this in another tribe:

The Situation in Hell

The following is supposedly an actual question given
on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that
the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet,
which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure
of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat)
or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using
Boyle's Law
(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is
compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is
changing in time. So
we need to know the rate at which souls are moving
into Hell and the
rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can
safely assume
that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls
are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look
at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member
of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and
since people do not belong to more than one religion,
we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect
the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell
because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature
and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume
of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate
at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure
in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase
of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will
drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during
my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before
I go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went
out with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus
I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over,
it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is
therefore, extinct . . . leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the
existence of a divine being which explains why, last night,
Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A."

Khelashi Dance Show

2005-12-15T18:48:05Z

Thanks so so much everyone for creating this beautiful show together!!! All the professional dancers were just incredible, all the students were very professional: even when a choreography got "messed up" or a song went wrong, you all carried it brilliantly, just reacted and improvised so no one noticed. I got so much great feedback, I had 91 messages in my phone afterwards, most of them from people in the audience telling me how great it was and how fascinated they were! And beside all this we raised quite a lot of money for the cuanlee women's refugee and the domestic violance women's centre (details and receipts will be posted on my website soon). So thanks for making this possible!!!! I had a fabulous time!

belly dance classes

2005-12-12T14:41:58Z

Hi everyone, just to let you know that I have moved to Wexford, I will be starting classes there and in Waterford in January (details soon).
In Cork there will be Adriana teaching egyptian style (with very interesting prop work) and Terrie (Tribal style/african roots). I am very sure that they will both be fantastic teachers to have in town with a lot to offer.
Enjoy!

A plea for mercy

2005-12-03T06:52:18Z

Hi!
I don't know where to put this but I guess any place is right when it's a question of human life. I feel no country who claims to be civilized should have dead sentence existing. And more over - if there is a slightest doubt on guilt, execution should never be accomplished.

I've got this from Gauri and pass it on.

warm ups...

2005-12-02T20:11:59Z

What's the best kind of warm up?
Should you do high energy drills rather then yoga type stretches? I went through different phases and got different kind of advice, I need more input! As a teacher, what do you do? As a student, what feels better?

fusions

2005-11-28T03:27:29Z

One of the projects I am planning at the moment is a dance show possibly made into a short film connecting belly dance, african dance and flamenco tied in contemporary dance. I like using archetypal images of women, poetry and storytelling.
What are your fusions?

Welcome everyone!!

2005-11-26T11:57:40Z

In the same way I work with khelashi dance I am really hoping to get people of different background in dance and music connected. What do we all have in common? Belly dancers, African dance, Flamenco, Romany and all the musicians too! Let's get together and enspire each other to do great things!! ;-)
