Hey my name is Sarah and I am a member of the Bay Area dance force Ultra Gypsy. We're invading the Pacific Northwest on April 13-22nd so watch out! Just want to make sure the peeps up north take advantage of the crazy knowledge our members have. Privates are available with bellydance legend Jill Parker, Ultra Gypsy's Co-Director Rose Harden, Sarah White (me) and Debra Rubin (for yoga).

My thesis was on the art and culture of the Romany people, so I have a wealth of first-hand in-the-field experience living with Gypsies being the first ever to document certain dance styles from India, Egypt, and Turkey. Want to learn? We're excited to meet you, so contact us at ultragypsyrose@hotmail.com to schedule your privates. check out www.ultragypsy.com (tour page)
