I want to share with you information on an upcoming benefit to keep Houston-based Silvia Salamanca in the US. Silvia was a finalist for the Belly Dance Superstars and has taught workshops all over Texas. Next summer she will be teaching a workshop in the Netherlands. Rachel Brice and Jillina will be teaching at the same workshop.
Hola to everybody!
On Saturday 16th of February from 7 to 10 pm, at Zahirah Noor Studios (14520 Memorial Drive -www.zahirahnoor.com) I will be hosting a fun, entertaining and love-giving fundraiser. There will be dance performances all throught the night, specially featuring Shunyata Bellydance: for the first time in town we will hit the stage and recreate the entire show that got a big load of opas! this past season at the Texas Renaissance Festival! There will be also a drum circle (wanna play? bring your drum!, wanna dance but not on stage? bring a coinscarf and join us!), middle eastern food, drinks (BYOB if you please so, although some wine and sangria -of course!- will be there too), and a big silent auction. Also we will have nice vendors with us...wanna fix a last minute costume for the event? We can provide that too!
The reason for the event is the following: As many of you know, I'm from Spain (and for the rest of you who don't know me...try youtube shunyata...and see what happens!), so it has arrived the time where my temporary visa for being in the states works no more, and I am seing myself in the middle of the process of getting my permanent one, which happens not to be on winter sales! So, if you have ever seen me dancing or attended a class with me and liked what I do...now you have a very good chance to support my art and my stay in this country. Really. Any dollar that anyone can add will help...that's why there will be no cover charge at the door, only love donations. And finally, if you wish to donate but can't make it to the event no hay problema! you can paypal at my account Silvia_Salamanca@excite.com.
Muchas gracias a todos and all my amor!

Re: Silvia Salamanca
Mon, February 25, 2008 - 9:00 PMThanks!! The benefit was a great success. We has some of the most wonderful dancers in Houston there. Sahira of Arabian Spice fame did a fabulous Egyptian routine. I was so mesmerized that I forgot to get it on tape. I do have a couple of videos up on YouTube under Farasha210. They come up if you search on Zahirah Noor. One is my own very "vintage" routine and the other is Silvia's first solo. I'll be adding more in my spare time.
This weekend we're all looking forward to the Aziza workshop and show at Zahirah Noor's. I'm dancing in a routine to Luxor Baladna with my troupe, Qantara. I'm also dancing with Silvia's other students to Discovered by Beats Antique. It's going to be a super show.
I love Shimmycast. Keep doing what you're doing so well!! -

Mon, February 25, 2008 - 9:24 PMOh, I'm so glad you had a great show and it sounds like you have another good one on the way too!
I'm envious. Sigh, maybe sometime I'll have some time off so I can go to Houston and see some of these great events!!
