They raise money to provide disabled children ages 6-18 with "scholarships" for service dogs. <br/> <br/>The wait list for a service dog can be up to 5 years. By providing these scholarships, the kids get on a much shorter waiting list and receive their service dog more quickly. <br/> <br/>Canines for Disabled Kids sponsors social dogs for autistic children, balance/walker dogs for mobility impaired children, hearing dogs for deaf children and general service dogs. In some cases we will also sponsor therapy dogs used specifically for children. <br/> <br/>Even if you can't come to the show, consider making a donation! <br/> <br/>To donate, go to: https://www.givedirect.org/give/givefrm.asp?CID=4067. <br/> <br/>If you would like to donate through your work, send a check, donate a car, or auction an item for us please go here: http://caninesforkids.org/resources/donate.htm. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/proserpina">Fans of Ariel and Naomi</a> - 0 replies </div>

Between them, they also bring a background rich in formal ballet training, West African dance, tango fusion and Indian dance technique. This has culminated in the development of their own unique, highly-acclaimed style of tribal bellydance. Kassar has since grown to both teach workshops and perform nationwide. They are extremely pleased and excited to be teaching their first workshop in the DC area. www.kassar <br/> <br/>Layers &amp; Isolations Workshop $45 <br/>Think you have mastered your isolations?

<div>Ok, so I'm posting this to see if anyone's interested in discussing the topic. What does fusion mean in the setting of tribal belly dance? I think I'm only listing questions we've all asked and discussed before, and with some I think the answers are pretty obvious, but I'm curious what other people have to say. <br/> <br/>How does tribal fusion distinguish itself from ATS? <br/>How does tribal fusion distinguish itself from traditional styles like Egyptian or Turkish oriental? <br/>What elements are appropriate to fuse in to this dance? <br/>When does fusion become cultural appropriation? <br/>When does fusion become something other than belly dance? <br/>What are some of the most creative tribal fusion dances you've seen to date, and why have they been inspiring to you? <br/>What do you as an audience member look for in a performance? As a fellow dancer? <br/> <br/>Oh, those seem like a good start. If anyone responds, feel free to add more, I might do the same...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/proserpina">Fans of Ariel and Naomi</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>So i have been a fan of Naomi and Ariel's solo performances in the Washington DC area for awhile, but I'm really excited about their work together as Proserpina. As a fan of their work I started this tribe. Stop by for updates, performance information, random chit chat, pictures, etc. Enjoy!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/proserpina">Fans of Ariel and Naomi</a> - 3 replies </div>
