Elizabeth, Ocean, Chris, it just gets better and better. You know how to keep us coming back! It was really great to see you all again, and be a part of such an awesome event.

And... it was so nice to meet and spend some time with all of the awesome dancers from all over! See you all for the Circus Sideshow!

Props again to Oceran and Elizabeth for making it all happen!!!!!!

    Here here! WE also had a wonderful, fabulous time at Elevation! It was great for Jasmir to be able to dance for other dancers (we live in remote Steamboat....), and ALL of the workshops were challenging, inspiring, fun, different, and generally awesome! Great to do some networking and meet lots of fellow dancers, and see 2 totally rockin shows! What a great weekend, and I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be! Yah!

      Huge props to Elizabeth, Ocean, Chris and all their wonderful helpers for a great weekend. All the workshops were fantastic and I truely loved the mix of folkloric with the more modern forms of the dance. I learned so much this weekend that I will be able to take with me and incorporate into my dance. The community is great, the teachers fantastic and the show Saturday night was wonderful.

      Oh, and lets not forget the venders. I got a few choice pieces that will add very nicely to my growing cache.

      Thanks again, can't wait til next time!

    Yes Yes Yes all of the above, I am too tired today for elegant words, but maybe I am just speechless from being so fully inspired and my circuits are slowly processing the sensory overload.

    Thanks to all of you for being so wonderfully inspiring and freaking COOL!

    Much Love from southern Colorado,

        we Urban Gypsy ladies had a great time.. the hospitality, the peeps, lov'erly conversations, friends made, the atmosphere, the SHOWS!, the absolutely cutest town of Golden, not to mention Paprika & the Buffalo Rose itself, the parties.. the after, after parties.. the music we heard AND the music we made together!

        shamefully admitting... Sahira and I were so relaxed and wrapped in an afterglow ...and uummm.... we missed our plane sunday night... (shhoooot!) but we told the airline it was the long security line ( it WAS partly that! ) i haven't missed a plane in forever... i guess we just didn't want to leave? dang!

        thanx to all involved for a great event.... i can definitely speak for all the Urban Gypsy ladies.. we had a blast!
        thank you O, E & C for putting on a sooop'ah event.. and inviting us to be a part of it!

        peace,luv'n,pancakes...

          Our thanks go out to each and every person who had anything at all to do with Elevation. This includes all of the attendies.

          We couldn't do this without each other. I am so full of joy and gratitude that I am about to burst!

          We can't wait 'til next year, and it's gonna be bigger and better than ever!

    I couldn't agree more, Satya! The workshops were just what I was looking for-and it was great to have John Compton there representing where it has all come from! Looking forward to next year! And, yes, I will definately bring my troupe and we will perform!!
