OK…here are a couple answers to questions that have been coming up.
First, the good news – the DVDs are almost done and a clip will be posted here any day so you can get a taste for the whole thing.
Second, the bad news – after much thought and even more debate, it has been decided that there will not be a NoMi this year. We’ve loved doing this event and seeing all of you dancing your hearts out, but unfortunately it is not financially feasible to do another one.
So there it is, keep your eyes posted here for that clip and I’ll post when the DVDs mail!
Happy New Year all!

Mon, January 7, 2008 - 10:59 AMSo sad that there will not be a NoMi 08! It's always a possibility that there will more in the future! So many thanks to all of the instructors, volunteers and attendees for the memories of NoMis 06 & 07 and of course to Kadri who had the dream in the first place! Kadri has good dreams!!!!

Mon, January 7, 2008 - 2:17 PMThis isn't good news, no, but, it's not an 'ending' by any means. I suspect that with your drive, ideas, and creativity, something fabulous will happen in the near future.
NoMi, gave us all 2 years of wonderful memories... a chance to learn and grow, network, and embrace our love for dance, LOCALLY. And I am PROUD to say that I was a part of it all... but have to say thank you to you, Kadri, for giving me the chance to be a part of it all. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making NoMi happen, and thank you for being an inspiration, on so, so, many levels. I look forward to seeing what the future holds... I know you must have some ideas brewing.

A big thanks to all the girls and guys how helped put it all together...it really was a fantastic weekend of dancing and workshops and friendships!

Fri, February 15, 2008 - 8:25 AMNooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Your event was so fabulous and so well-organized. Part of me wondered about financial feasibility, but ohmigosh you did such a great job and made it such a special experience. It reminded me of how much I loved Kassar and made me want to invite them to my event. I hope NoMi will return in the future, even if on a smaller scale (*fingers crossed*) :( -

Re: Questions Answered
Fri, February 15, 2008 - 8:56 AMThe last two NoMis were wonderful experiences for me and I'm so happy and proud that it was held here, in Buffalo. And I'm hoping it will return soon. I'll be here ready to do anything I can to make that happen :) It was a wonderful way to bring so many people come together to learn and grow and connect.
I just wish I could get my hands on another black NoMi teeshirt.....I wear mine so much....proudly!!
