ASTRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A magical week of dance/sleep-deprivation/(and for some cast members) absinthe-induced delirium has at last concluded with a fabulous closing night and cast party. We danced our hearts out for ASTRA and the artistic satisfaction is high. We received marvelous reviews from people who attended the show, including a "Top Pick" rating by the LA Times! Yay us! I can hardly believe our first run has already closed! We have been working towards this for so long, and now I feel relieved and a little sad that is is over. However, we are constantly looking for appropriate new venues, and I am excited to begin work on the show again once we have our next booking, so am trying to take this time to re-focus, rest and re-connect with everyone since I have been pretty unavailable lately. (sorry about that...)
I am also using this time to really hone my dance technique, artistic expression, and some of my lesser-used skills ( like modeling and doing voiceover work on the side), and organize and establish a technical base for future work.
ALSO, I will be particpating in some local events: I will be singing with Alec Christopher Marken & Deep Stirrings at the Neighborhood Cup this Saturday. (www.myspace.com/deepstirrings He is still building the site, but there is a little video and some pics and audio clips already)
DETAILS: 4/11 Sat. 8pm-10:15pm The Neighborhood Cup - Aliso Viejo www.theneighborhoodcup.com
I will also be dancing at a book release party for local dancer and author DeAnna Cameron!! She has written a story about a Victorian woman who discovers bellydance.... can't wait to read it! DeAnna is a lovely person, and she is using this party to raise awareness and funds for the organization Women for Women, which offers assistance to women around the world.
These are some seriously amazing people I just love and respect to bits! PLEASE come support them!!
signing off for now,
Sarah

SHOPPING THAT GIVES BACK!
I don't know about you, but I really enjoy Christmas shopping (ok and most kinds of shopping...)
At this time of year, however, most stores are packed and people are frazzled. So why not skip the stress and shop online? Better yet, why not shop from stores that actually help people who are in need? When you shop from these sites (below), you can find plenty of fun gift ideas that contribute to a better life for the world around us! Shopping on World of Good on ebay causes a percentage of the final sale price to go to the charity of the seller's choice, and often offers eco-friendly goods as well, while the Greater Good Network has several different stores that feature fun, eco-friendly clothes, gifts, toys, jewelry, etc. that directly benefit people across the globe and in our own backyard- even the furry ones! If you don't want to shop or can't find anything you want to buy (!), you can also click to donate (it's free). Every click provides mammograms, food, books or other necessities to people (and animals) in need, and even preserves rainforest acreage. Why not go beyond gift-giving and really HELP? And you might even discover for yourself how much better it can be to give rather than receive.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
I can hardly believe it is a new year already! 2008 was a rollercoaster ride, and I am full of hope for 2009.
With milestones like New Year's, resolutions fly thick and fast, because we catch our breath and reflect on (and learn from, ideally) the past and focus on our collective priorities for these days and weeks and months ahead.
If one of your desires for 2009 is to get strong, fit, flexible, and fabulous.. come dance!
If your focus is on developing your inner self... come dance!
If you want to make new friends or just have fun... come dance!!!
Are you ready to DANCE?!?!?!
January 7th, 7 p.m. Anaheim Family YMCA....
Be there!!!!
