<div>Hi all, <br/> <br/>I'm asking you to nominate my podcast, Shimmy Cast, for the Cultural/Arts category and the People's Choice category for the Podcast Awards. Nominations close September 30th. <br/> <br/>To do this you go to the following website http://podcastawards.com/ and enter the name of the podcast you are nominating and it's URL in each category you are nominating it for. You will also need to give your name and email address (they don't share, sell, or spam your email address). You leave comments about the podcasts you are nominating; comments are critical so the reviewing team understand why a show is deserving of being nominated to the category. <br/> <br/>The URL for Shimmy Cast is www.shimmycast.blogspot.com <br/> <br/>My vision for Shimmy Cast was to create an informative podcast for fans and dancers of Middle Eastern bellydance. Since starting Shimmy Cast I realize that even though my intent was to create a great resource for others, as a way to pay back the art form that has given me so much, I have learned more about this art form for myself. I would like Shimmy Cast to get nominated because I would like to gain more recognition for our art form and I feel like this will be a great way for more people to learn what bellydance truly is about and not just the negative stereotypes that so often plague us. <br/> <br/>Please forward this to others that you think might be interested in helping the cause. <br/> <br/>Anala Rabari</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shimmycast">Shimmy Cast</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Ok, I'm sorry I haven't released a new show in a while. I've been sick lately and just overwhelmed trying to keep up with work and troupe stuff. I plan on recording a new show this weekend come heck or high water. Of course, with all the rain we've been having around here lately it's not hard to get the high water (yes, we even had to cancel a night of classes because the roads were flooded!) <br/> <br/>Anala</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shimmycast">Shimmy Cast</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>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. <br/> <br/>Hola to everybody! <br/> <br/>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! <br/>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. <br/>Muchas gracias a todos and all my amor! <br/> <br/>Silvia <br/>www.shunyatabellydance.com </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shimmycast">Shimmy Cast</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Hi all, <br/> <br/>I'm putting out a plea for review submissions. I would prefer CD and book reviews for the most part, but if you want to do a DVD review that's fine too. Just know that I have a pile of DVD reviews waiting for the show. I would also suggest that you contact me to make sure a review hasn't already be written for that product. <br/> <br/>Also if anyone is interested in doing workshop or vendor reviews those would be appreciated too. <br/> <br/>Thanks!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shimmycast">Shimmy Cast</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Well, I'm enjoying my break. <br/> <br/>I've got most of my costume repairs done and I've started working on new choreography for some troupe numbers. I'm also working on some jewelry repair and making some new costume pieces altogether. <br/> <br/>Also in April I'll be traveling to Denver and I wanted to know if any of you were in that area. I'm hoping maybe I'll have time for some resturant shows and maybe even take some classes.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shimmycast">Shimmy Cast</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi all, <br/> <br/>I wanted to ask if anyone is having problems downloading episode 51. It is suppose to be 40:40 in length. I couldn't download it myself and neither could my husband. We are investigating the issue and hopefully we can get it fixed soon. If you were able to get the episode without problems please let me know that too (that could tell us that something is just wrong at our house). <br/> <br/>Thanks</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shimmycast">Shimmy Cast</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I'm excited to let you guys know that I finally had time to record another move of the week episode. I got it recorded tonight and I hope to get it edited and posted by tomorrow night (Friday). Although I'll be the first to admit that I don't think my technique was at the top of my game. I think I'm coming down with a cold. But I really, really, wanted to get this made for y'all so I recorded quick tonight before the cold gets into full swing.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shimmycast">Shimmy Cast</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Ok, now don't get your hopes all up on this because I don't know if I'll be able to get a hold of any of these people (and it will probably take some time). . . <br/> <br/>But who would you like to hear interviews from?
