I apologize for not getting this posted last night but I will be honest. I fell asleep on the couch right after watching American Idol (They sent Donny Osmond’s son David home - how could they?!? - he was fabulous!!).

I need to know if you/your group will be beginning your routines on or off stage. Emailing me now would be fabulous, else tell the ladies at the check in desk.

I only had a couple of requests as to time or placement. Pixie and I did the placement and we tried to mix it up as to cab, tribal, or gothique. So here we go - the line-up for Saturday’s show:

Set One:
• Hadrah Dance Co
• What’s Shakin’ aka the MU BD club
• Samadhi Beginner Level 2
• April
• M’Ali
• Amira Nagi
• Kaileena

Set Two:
• Pandora
• Samadhi
• Pixie
• Saffa Nawal
• Jenna Brooke
• Danielle Donaldson


Odds and Ends:
• Go a question but not sure who to ask? Look for name tags! My ladies and crew will be wearing them!
• There will be an upstairs stage manager/costume mistress available in the group dressing room upstairs. Need help getting pinned into your costume? Hem came undone? See Suzie a.k.a. Iman Shadhir!
• The group dressing room features a 20 foot long mirror on one wall so mirror space should not be a problem. A small hand-held mirror for eyeliner is not a bad idea, though. There is a small restroom off the group dressing room.
• Can’t find something/someone downstairs? See stage manager Beth Gadsby a.k.a. “The Other Beth.” The 2 stage managers will also keep up with the running order of who is one stage and who should be ready.
• To avoid “belly dancer pile-ups” we ask that all performers enter the theater from the right side and exit the opposite side.
• Sound in the foyer of the theater carries forward into the audience so the stage managers might shush you.
• Water for performers will be available in the downstairs lobby.
• There will be a group photo after the last performer. Please stay in costume for the group photo.
• As there will be civilians there, please wear cover-ups over your costumes.
• Glitter - we have had a special request from the theater management - no thrown glitter. Body or makeup glitter is fine but please do not toss glitter as a special effect during your dance. It is hell to clean up.
• We had several requests for opening dancing so there will be open dancing after the group photo. Have a drum? Bring it!
