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
DANCE!

What is Tribal Fusion Bellydance?
I am now teaching Tribal Fusion at Fit 4 U studio. The first 2 weeks have been fantastic! We had a good turnout, with really dedicated students who are going to make great tribal dancers :) Class will be at 6 pm and go until 7:15.
If you have ever wondered what Tribal Fusion is exactly, or have seen it and wanted to try it without committing to a full session, here's your chance to find out if it's for you!
If you need an extra incentive, every month we have a "Meetup Special": an Introduction class hosted by the Costa Mesa Belly Dancers Meetup group! Your next opportunity to experience this dance phenomenon is February 6th!! This class will give everyone a chance to meet me, too, so I hope to see you there!
Tribal Fusion Bellydance is an exciting new dance form that fuses world dances such as Flamenco, Indian and the folkloric dances of the near and Middle-East with a modern aesthetic. Tribal Fusion is an amazing body conditioning workout through which every dancer can express her own style. It's AWESOME! :)
