Wow!

We are blown away by Elevation this year!

1st and foremost, we want to thank each and every person that had a part in Elevation:
Attendees
Teachers
Vendors
Work-Trade Volunteers
Performers
our Video and Audio crews
The crew, management, and ownership of the Buffalo Rose
the indentured servants
and anyone else that had a part in Elevation, no matter how small or how large.

There was some magic that happened. I felt it. I know that most everyone else felt it. We are so grateful for the experience and friendships, both old and new.

We did it all together, and Elizabeth and I are already planning next year's Elevation so we can do it again.

Things in the works for next year:
Dates: April 29th-May 2nd (that's right, 4 days of classes!)

3 fabulous shows:
Thurs night: A Vaudevillian Extravaganza: The Worse the Better
Fri night: Attendee performances with a Catered Middle Eastern Feast
Sat night: The Gala Presentation including: Putting on the Dog: Everyone Dress to Impress (with a Fashion Parade during Intermission)

Confirmed teachers and Performers:
Rachel Brice
Onca and August of the Mezmer Society
Elizabeth Ostteen and Chris Chambers of Tribe Marrakech
(many more to come!)

Love,
Ocean and Elizabeth

  • Great! Cannot wait to hear the full list of people coming.......

    Mark it on the calendar Ocean - so the Colorado dancers know to hold those dates aside for more fun and dance! I am looking forward to it already......my girls will be too. They had lots of fun!!!!

    Thank you - Ocean and Elizabeth for you continued hardwork on this......it shows and is fun. I know you had help but still the main energy is coming from you guys and it was a wonderful weekend! You have a ton of us ready to support and enjoy in the festivities for sure!!!

  • Thank you sooo much, Ocean and Elizabeth! It was phenomenal! I am already so excited for next year!!!
    UNMATA! Please return them to our clutches!
    I also REALLY loved Ariellah's classes- she has SOO much to offer...I am sure you are striving for variety but she'd be great to have back as well!
    Love Meg
    P.S. Ocean I was braggin to my hub about your mad sales skills- I told you he teaches sales and has run a shop for several years. he was just laughing at me. then he said, "So when were you going to tell me about all that money you spent?" Ha.
  • thanks for starting so early I already put in for vacation time plus an extra couple of hours in case i have to shovel more snow. I thought this was the best show i have ever been to because of the way it felt. Thanks for giving me a place to have a yearly family reunion and thanks to elizabeth for keeping my mom dancing, plus with this much notice i wont miss any workshops (like my teachers) because they sold out too fast.
    • I am already looking forward to next year. I loved all the teachers that you had, but I would love to see some tribal improv folks on the ticket for next year. Sabine from Tribablation, or Paulette from Gypsy Caravan, or Kajira, or Carolena, just some improv please! I am really glad to see Rachel and Onca and August back for next year too, I loved their workshops and am looking forward to more.

      Anyway, thanks again so much for all your hard work and know that we as a belly dance community really appreciate it.
