Hello to the tribe!
Okay, I am VERY new to belly dancing, and have only taken 2 lessons, from a friend of mine. That has been some time ago. I am very interested in taking lessons again as a beginner (very much a beginner) in the Tribal style.
I live in Charleston if that's a help.
Thank you Ladies!!!

Fri, March 14, 2008 - 2:26 PMOh yay! Good for you! Bellydance is catching guys too, which by the way is awesome. :-) There are tribal teachers in Charleston! You can try going to the Samadhi website, where Amira has a little bit of info on other teachers in WV:
wvbellydance.com/links.html (you might have to scroll down a bit to find them.)
P.S. Kali is right here on tribe and she teaches in Charleston. :-) I'm sure she won't mind a PM about it.

Tue, March 18, 2008 - 5:43 AMThanks so much for your help guys! Hope to see you around! By The Way, if anyome is interested, there will be an open stage May 3rd at an Event in Kanawha State Forest called Beltaine in the Woods. It is a Wiccan event, but anyone is welcome.
So far, there will be drum circles, a Reiki Tent, Ann Rynolds, David Wood (a Wiccan Musician) will be performing as well. Oh! And a maypole dance and public ritual.
If interested, just ask, and I'l give you all the info that I have! -

Re: Male Student
Tue, March 18, 2008 - 6:11 AMIt seems that we will be there! Just needing to pull together the details with my old friend! -

Re: Male Student
Tue, March 18, 2008 - 7:21 AMKali, I think your old Friend, and mine are the same. Which is wonderful, because we'll have a chance to meet in person!
And I am interested in your next beginners series when it starts again. I've heard wonderful things from our mutual friend about you. -

Tue, March 18, 2008 - 11:20 AM::laughing:: Then Kenneth, you and I are two of the luckiest people in the world!
Yes, I will definitely contact you when I start my next beginner's series. I like to space them so I can get the newbies comfortable with joining the regular class--make sure they feel the same level of comfort with their dancing. Once I know they're okay, I'm ready for a new round.<G>
I am looking forward to meeting you! I know our dear Zia will be happy to have another guy around!

Thu, March 20, 2008 - 9:45 AMWow. That sounds cool. I haven't been to a Beltaine event in ages. Probably a little far for me, unfortunately.

Re: Male Student
Fri, March 21, 2008 - 6:31 AMis Kanawha state forest accessible via rte 94 not too far from Marmet? That's only 45 minutes or so from me! Not sure if what I am thinking of is Kanawha State Forest or not.....but I am pagan and would love to attend that event! Please , more info please! -

Re: Male Student
Fri, March 21, 2008 - 12:28 PMThere is a road that connects into Kanawha State Forest from Hernshaw, but I'm not sure what it's called. It's a windy nasty road, though.

Re: Male Student
Fri, March 21, 2008 - 12:37 PMYou can make it by taking rte 94, to 3, then 119 North, but I think it might be very round-about, and take a long while. Try typing directions in on google maps, and see what you can get. I know KSF is only about 40 min. from Marmet by the interstate. -

Re: Male Student
Fri, March 21, 2008 - 4:04 PMYou can come through Kanawha City, if that helps. From the interstate, take the 35th street exit, get in the right lane and merge right onto MacCorkle Ave. and get into the left lane. There's a turn lane coming up real quickly-turn left between where Watt Powell Park used to be and MacDonalds. Go under the tracks and straight through the stop sign. This takes you across Chesterfield Avenue and onto South Park Road. It's hilly and curvy. When you get to the end of the road,(you will be at a stop sign-there will be the old Loudendale School-now storage units-on your right and a house on your left)-turn left here, and you will go straight into Kanawha State forest. I have no idea how long it takes going that way. I live in Loudendale and I can be in Kanawha City in about ten minutes. -

Sun, March 23, 2008 - 8:06 PMwell I am coming from way down on route 3 --I take rte 3 to 94 to get to charleston and was just wondering if that was the state forest I go by all of the time. Yay!

Re: Male Student
Sat, March 29, 2008 - 10:06 AMso, a drum circle, huh? so, should we show up in belly dance gear? :) and I'm excited about the Reiki tent too. I got my level II in January. since there's a drum circle and there will already be some wv bellydancers there (and 'cause I think it sounds cool :) ), go ahead and post the details. I'd love to know them. I was considering going to a fairy festival that weekend, but it's a really huge one and 4 hours away, which may be too much for the little one. we have family in charleston, though.
