    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Some of you know I've had to alter my eating habits - drastically.  No wine, no sugar, no gluten no nothing unless it is fresh vegies, beans and rice - a pretty vegan diet.
&lt;br/&gt;SO, I go to the store today for a fresh salad.  (Albertsons has a great salad bar).  Lots of fresh spinach, red lettuce, cukes, brocoli, garbonzo beans, sunflower seeds - you get the picture.  I made my own Italian dressing this morning so I have it in the car.  Then I grab 2 bags of organic rice cakes - no salt.  I saunter up to the checkout and get in line.
&lt;br/&gt;In front of me is a rather large man.  On the checkout were his items:  1 doz glazed donuts and two different iced drinks from Starbucks, complete with the whipped cream and sprinkles.
&lt;br/&gt;I started laughing out loud.  The poor guy did not know what to think of this maniacal woman laughing behind him.  All I could think of was the huge amount of sugar that was about to be ingested by one or two or three people.  Then I remembered that I used to eat that stuff just 3 weeks ago.  I think if I tried to put one of those drinks, or one of those donuts down me, it would come right back up.
&lt;br/&gt;Anyway, the checkout gal thought it was pretty funny too... &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hellooooo Ladies!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One of my best friends is getting married on August 27th. Having the great privilege of being her maid of honor, Im currently planning her bachelorette party. Thanks to the great idea Erica gave me, the Azula girls have agreed to not only giving a quick lesson, but ALSO performing at a local bistro and lounge. The lovely Zanhaya has also agreed to bless the stage with her presence. It would be super awesome if some more of you dancers would be willing to show us your stuff! So heres the info:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When: Wednesday, August 26th
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Where: 360 Bistro and Lounge, Twin Falls Idaho
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Time: Dinner at 8pm, performance at 9pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I unfortunately cant afford to pay you for your services as Im currently unemployed thanks to Eugene's economy, but i can arrange a ride and a place to stay. I also plan on putting out a tip jar. My friend Stacey has been through a lot and really deserves a special day just for her. By having this performance, Im hoping not only to entertain Stacey and the twin falls ladies at the party, but also to spread the great gift of this art, celebrate dance, promote positive body image, and create sisterhood.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So please come on down to Twin Falls on the 26th, not only for a great time, but for a great cause!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
&lt;br/&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;My name is Bethany and I just moved to IF recently from the San Diego, Ca area and I have been asked to start my own bellydance class! So right now I have a beginner class Thursday nights at 8pm at Habibi bellydance studio. If I get enough students then I can start an advanced class. So it is $10 to drop in to one class or $32 for a month's session of four classes. So let your IF friends know they can get a piece of the bellydance pie! 
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone interested can email me for more info! Lovelessmermaid@hotmail.com&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;July 25th and 26th
&lt;br/&gt;Along the Greenbelt in Idaho Falls
&lt;br/&gt;So on Saturday the 25th I will be bellydancing as a sort of half time performance during my friend David Devlin the magician's act this will be around 4pm on the stage and I'm pretty sure there is only one stage.
&lt;br/&gt;Then on Sunday the 26th from 1pm on into the afternoon the students of Habibi Belyydance studio owned by Yahaira will be doing a troupe performance and then individual solos.
&lt;br/&gt;Of course there will be lots of artwork, food, and other entertainment to enjoy as well so I hope to see you there!

And in March I got to take workshops with Tiffany Bisoconer in Richland.  Not to mention the ladies Sidonia brings in and the workshops for Fusion Fest!  So, in less than 5  hours away from Boise, I have the privelege of taking workshops with some pretty amazing teachers.   My brain is so full of new ideas and I am so energized in the dance.  I can't wait to work on some of the new stuff that is rolling around in the old noggin!
&lt;br/&gt;I really feel that we in Idaho are very fortunate in the caliber of dancers and teachers that we get in the area.  Most importantly, I feel that we are so very fortunate to have such a close knit and family like dance community around here.  I am getting a little gushy here, but I truly appreciate you all.
&lt;br/&gt;Much love to everyone. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Nadira was incredible!  Her teaching style was so intense and yet fun.  She is a warm, open person and was great to visit with.  Also she was so willing and accepting of helping people after the workshop, or even at break, with moves that she either taught or they saw in her performance.  I was really impressed with what ease she shared her knowledge.  And I appreciate how she incorporated and shared her dance background, and how that is interpreted and used in bellydance. Super cool!!!!
&lt;br/&gt; I am so sore today and barely want to move in my chair here at work.  And then I remember that she showed us how to work on chest and abs while sitting down. No rest for the wicked, or the bellydance addicted! (and certainly no rest for the wickedly bellydance addicted).&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Allright people!  
&lt;br/&gt;I have been reading other threads on Tribe, watching the economy tank, just finished my taxes and closed out the books for last year, watching and reading where people are shopping, working and playing.  And frankly, I am worried.  
&lt;br/&gt;I try to shop and purchase locally - fruit vendors, mom and pop shops, restaurants, etc.  And if not local, I try for natural, US made and produced items.  I would rather pay $5 bucks more for a shirt or skirt that I know is made here in the US than ship my money over to China.  
&lt;br/&gt;And as a business owner, I produce and supply (IMHO) products that are top quality and available for purchase at my own little shop, not to mention the custom orders that I am happy to work on.  Skirts, harem pants, tops, cover ups - you name it and I can probably sew it for you at a competitive price.  And if I can't do it, I know someone who can and they all reside here in the Northwest US!
&lt;br/&gt;There are certain items that I am not able to make, for instance hip scarves.  I import them from a family business based in Cairo.  To the best of my knowledge, they do not use child labor, they pay the workers a fair wage and send me a pretty impressive product which I then stock in my shop.  And pants - I am not good at making the really cool flair pants, but I can send you to some pretty impressive sites that stock the pants.  They are good quality and based in the northwest and the US.
&lt;br/&gt;My point is this:  Yes - you can find sites that offers "cheap" costuming items.  But at what cost to the rest of us?  I am all for bargain hunting and I love finding a great deal.  I also believe in paying a fair price for an item of quality and I firmly believe you "get what you pay for".  If it is such a cheap price, WHY?  Are they paying a fair wage?  Are they using child labor?  What is the quality?  
&lt;br/&gt;It is very frustrating to me to sew my butt off and stock my shop so that I can try to compete, and then someone comes flitting up and says - "I found this great site with really cheap clothes that ship for free - we need to order from them and save some money"  Are you really saving any money?  
&lt;br/&gt;I know that the world is a global economy - the fabric I buy is generally made outside the US - have you ever tried to find fabric that is wholly US made?  Not easy, believe me.   Anyway, most clothing and jewelry items have components from outside the US.  But if you can purchase a comparable product in the same price range and keep your money local, doesn't that just make sense?
&lt;br/&gt;**Off my soapbox for now**&lt;/div&gt;

The Hafla was so much fun with tons of dancing, a great drum circle at the afterparty where we took over the bar, and then the workshop.  The workshop was great and I have tons of new ideas and ways of breaking things down.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hello Beautiful Dancers!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am currently building my website. It is a very eclectic site. Much of it is devoted to the promotion of local art. Within the section called “Art Organizations” is a sub nav for “Dance”. I am wanting to add a section just for BellyDancers/Troupes. There are so many wonderful dancers and troupes in Boise. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am asking you for your help in collecting as much info as possible on the Boise BellyDance scene and the different troupes and resources. I wish to promote all the groups equally. I hope I am not stepping into any politics when requesting information on your group while asking for links to others. I do not know if there is any rivalry in the dance community. Even that information would be a good thing for me to know.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I also an looking for essays and I may put up personal profiles of dancers if you wish. Just need a good jpeg image and a text bio. So that’s for your attention. 
&lt;br/&gt;If interested email me at: kethermuse@mixedbag-om.com 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The site is at: http://mixedbag-om.com/ 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Blessings
&lt;br/&gt;Kether&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Workshops were great and the shopping - well, let's just say I did my part to spur the economy!
&lt;br/&gt;In the dressing room, we found a diabetes testing kit, a cell phone and a sewing kit.  If you, or someone you know, lost those items, please contact Sidonia!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I just heard about it today from a customer at work. (No, we don't usually have to deal directly with customers in the Inner Sanctum of graphics, LOL; but this one is special). She's doing readings there, and she said there'd be Egyptian food and dancers. Is it you? Are you doing henna there, Mearah? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My sister will be in town and I'm taking the week off, so we'll be checking it out on Friday. Somehow it just seems like an event that needs that Mearah touch. (Well, don't they all?)&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Thanks everyone. I did some reading of my own and yes they did say henna should not come in all different colors. There must be additives natural or otherwise in the Rainbow henna mix. I will stop using that brand. Also realized that the water here is very heavy in iron and that might be making my hair very brittle. I Also I believe that the hair products I have been using, Frutis Garnier , has a lot of silicone in it and it created a build-up so I discontinued using and that also helped. What helped most was washing my hair with baking soda and rinsing with apple cider vinegar. There was an immediate 50% improvement after that. I will try to get virgin henna and mix my own blend to get the auburn effect.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Question: Since henna only will dye your hair red do I have to use indigo to get my hair medium auburn or can I use coffee or teas to get it to be that color?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks...... GiGi&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;I am leaving for MedFest on Friday - the shopping is fantastic and if anyone wants something in particular, I have a running list of orders.  You need to let me know ASAP and I will look for it!  I will return Monday afternoon.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is an Indian Restaraunt called India Place on the SW corner of State and Eagle.  I have been contacted and we will be dancing there on different evenings.  Perizadah is taking the first weekend (this weekend) and she will be dancing from 6 - 8PM at the restaraunt both Friday and Saturday night.  We checked the place out last week and it is bright and open and they have really good food and very nice wait staff.  SO, if you feel like an evening out, go check out the Indian food and support your local dancer!

&lt;br/&gt;Gotta get to work here.....  Maybe some choreography would be nice!  Perizadah's is finished and fantastic and her costume is to die for and she is set to go!  Me, I still gotta get the costume fitted and work out the drum solo and a million other little things.....  I work better under pressure.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I have a few questions regarding henna for hair that I hope someone can answer.  I have been using henna for my hair for the past year and it has made my beautiful, long curly hair, brittle, dry and straw like.  I do not know if it because of the brand I have been using (Rainbow Henna) or because of the water in this area.  When I do the treatment it looks great but as it starts to fade my hair becomes frizzy and unmanageable.  .  My hair is naturally auburn colored and henna gives me the perfect color.  I do not want to use a chemical dye.  Can someone help?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;What a wild weekend and a horribly long drive, but every minute was worth it.  To be able to see both my student and mentor (not to mention friends) take the 1st place in each of their categories was an amazing weekend.  I am both proud and impressed by both Perizadah and Sidonia.  
&lt;br/&gt;All of the dancers were beautiful and the workshop was tremendous fun.  I met lots of new people and reconnected with some that I had not seen for awhile.  Altogether, it was great and I look forward to doing it again!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Is anyone interested in participating in a yard sale?  I am aiming for May 31 - Saturday from 8 - 3 and advertising it in the Statesmen and Boise Weekly.  
&lt;br/&gt;10 x 10 spaces will be marked out, and you can reserve your space for $10.00.  You can bring whatever you want - belly dance items, clothes, household goods - all the various and assorted good stuff that goes in yard sales.  I will take care of the advertising, posting of the signs and provide the bathroom!!   You could set up Friday night and cover with a tarp - the yard is locked so we can leave the stuff out overnight if needed, or you can set up Saturday morning.
&lt;br/&gt;Spread the word and let me know if you, or anyone else, is interested - that way I can get my act together and get it planned out.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I have decided that producing a show is a lot like giving birth.  Months of pain in the lower regions, a few weeks of running rampant and then in one night - WHALAAA.  It arrives.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, I would like to send out a few kudos, listed in no particular order...  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Mark.  My husband and friend.  Without him, there would not have been any show, or studio......
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oreet.  Entertainer and incredibly talented woman who knows how to put on a workshop, kick everyones butt and keep them coming back for more.  And a dancer - wow.  My father even asked for her autograph.  How do you top that?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sidonia.  I learned from the best.  You are not only an entertainer, but my friend and mentor and thank you does not even begin to cover it all.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Kelvin and Kristin.  I already got all mushy on you both, but the incredible amount of energy and committment you two gave is amazing.  Kelvin, the extras and the details that you took care of for me are far too numerous to list.  You saved my rear.  I will buy your cokes the next time we are at the Buffalo Club.  Kristin, anytime you want to vacuum, come to my house.  You are an amazing woman with more talent and strength than you know.  And I am so proud to call you both my friends.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lisa and Jenny.  My daughters and my fan club.  And I am theirs.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Samira.  Thank you for letting me bitch at you, complain at you and vent at you.  You kept me sane and let me wear your helmet for awhile.  I will be happy to pass it back to you at Fusion Fest.  But most of all, you make me laugh and see the humor in it all.  And as the stage manager for the evening - you rock.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hazam.  Emcee and friend.  Thank you for the show, and for keeping your cool when it got all freaky back there.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oscar.  The pre-show entertainment was wonderful and you are so very talented.  Thank you for running the music and letting me step on you when I got my little control issue.  Next time just kick me.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thia, Cecilia, Carlin, Sidonia.  Vendors extraordinaire.  You ladies are wonderful.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cindy.  You were right, it was curly.  My own mother-in-law did not recognize me!  But you made me sit and gave me some down time and that was invaluable.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Shawn.  Thank you.  You are the best and I am so blessed that you are in my life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Collette, Marcella, Amy, Kristin.  Oasis Dreams Troupe.  Your help was invaluable and I appreciate you all, even if you are trying your best to "floofify" me.  It seems to be working...  I love you all.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Desert Dreams Dancers and Oasis Dreams Troupe.  Without you ladies, there would not be a show.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Loki.  Official nut and photographer.  Can't wait to see the pics.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Shimmy Shakti, Eliza and Samira.  You ladies made the decomp party.  Thanks for helping us bring the Shrine into the 21st century.  Let's hope the bartender made his tee time...  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everyone else who I have not specifically named.  You all know who you are and I appreciate all your work, dedication and kind thoughts and wishes.  You ladies and gentlemen are what makes us all successful.  Thank you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Last, but not least, the El Korah Shrine.  I think we blew them away.  And they liked having us so much that they have already reserved next year for the Oasis Dreams 2009 Show.  April 4 and 5 so mark it on your calendars.  I may have to start a whole new tribe for this......&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;OK - the evening show is officially full.  We have a great line up featuring really cool dancers and I can't wait to see the show!  Hazam has graciously accepted the invite to be the evenings emcee.  Dancers, remember that I need your intro (30 words or less) and your music at the same time.  Put your music/song on one CD per performance - I get confused easily and can not comprehend the track 1, then track 5, then the first 2 minutes of track 2 fade out sequence listed on the CD.
&lt;br/&gt;There is still room in the daytime showcase and I would love to see more dancers and groups sign up for that.
&lt;br/&gt;Oreet is officially excited and she is going to kick butt in the workshops. 
&lt;br/&gt;The vending is going to be awesome!!!!!!

    <published>2008-03-22T14:56:32Z</published>
    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I was driving to the Saturday Oreet workshop, and suddenly I realized I had forgotten to double-check the location and map. The workshop was being held at some dance studio in the Fairview area (the Frank Miller studio, because that makes all kinds of sense http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Miller_(comics) ). I was on Chinden near HP, and kept missing turns to go south. So I pulled over and walked, and ended up in this woodsy park. I found the studio there, and walked in the door right at 10:00. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Turns out, the workshop had started at 9:30. There she was, teaching this bizarre little diagonal step with legs very tightly locked together - a very penguiny kind of look. She had people travelling with it across the floor one at a time, and I walked in just in time to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson taking his turn across the floor. Yes, The Rock was there taking Oreet's workshop. There was also some rap artist there who apparently thought enough of himself to bring along an entourage of security guys, but I didn't know who he was. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I never got a chance to learn anything dance-related, because at this point Oreet started a tour around the workshop area...the one side, where she was involved in filming a western, and she showed us how to drag back a handcuffed man who was trying to escape by crawling under a fence; and then the back of the room, which had a bunch of props from the various Star Trek TV shows and movies on display.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Somehow at this point I realized I was dreaming (gee, what could have clued me in?), but I was still thinking it was the night before and that the workshop really started at 9:30 in an unfamiliar location; so I was standing in front of a mirror telling myself "leave by 8:45" several times. I may have even said it out loud.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So I'm wondering, who slipped the psychedelic mushrooms in with my dinner?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Plus, the incredible amount of shopping is so totally amazing - I have once again blew the budget.  I have lots of new music and DVDs, not to mention the required new big skirt that had my name on it.  
&lt;br/&gt;I have talked with Oreet - she is looking forward to coming to Boise.  I also got to hug on Amy - she is so huggable.  Samira, I took an extra hug for you too!!
&lt;br/&gt;I will be back Monday night.  See you all soon &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;This can include most embarrassing moments, or best pull out of "nose dive" situation.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Yes!! A troupe meeting tonight revealed that we've all been thinking the same thing...just because we had a Spring show last year does not mean we have to keep the same time slot this year. The timing is just bad, there is already tons of great stuff going on right then and we'd rather relax and enjoy it! (Especially OREET!!!!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So keep an eye out for a belated Return in the fall - timing to be announced depending on headliner availability (and so as not to conflict with Sid's fall Hafla!) &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Won't tell who is coming in until it is confirmed, but let's just say this woman can dance!!!  And her workshops are phenomenal.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So block out the first weekend of April for workshops and shopping and showcase and evening show and maybe even an afterparty!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;More to come as the details are finalized....&lt;/div&gt;
