Thread: Any West Virginia belly dancers on Bhuz???

If so...

I wanted to throw this offer out there. My family lives in Beverly, just outside of Elkins, in Randolph County. Because of this, I generally travel to WV at least 3 times per year. Would any of you WV dancers be interested in hosting me for a mini-workshop? Since I'd be out there anyway, you would save a bundle on the transportation costs (and probably lodging too, especially if the workshop were to take place in Randolph County).

I believe that most dancers in WV are doing tribal/tribal fusion, so I would be something totally new and different! (or something totally uninteresting...) Among the topics I could offer: Egyptian raqs sharqi combos or a short choreography, Egyptian rhythmic structure/musical interpretation, basic raqs assaya, or possibly a very bare-bones intro to debke or khaleegy. You can find out more about me at my web site, or let me know if you need a resume/bio/testimonials and I can e-mail or snail mail said info.

If any of you WV dancers are out there and are interested, please PM me, or e-mail me at nisaa AT bellydancewithnisaa DOT com.

Thanks for allowing me this shameless self promotion! ..g.:

Bellydancers in West Virginia, huh? I have not met many. I live in Virginia, closest to D.C. (Manassas). This isn't what you wanted, but I could find something in my area. If you're not up to this, nevermind. Thought I just throw that out there.

Narah is in Morgantown: Welcome to TribalBellyDance.net (Home Page) ~ Narah ~ Performer and Instructor

Unsolicited testimonial: Nisaa taught a 2-hour Khaleegy/Debke class at my studio last year, it was terrific. Very well-organized, very well-taught, thorough & informative and we all had a great time.

And now we all have one giant calf.

..l;, Giant, well-muscled calf!

Lauren...thanks for the kudos!

Bellydancefanatic...thanks, it would probably be too far for me though...

Me!!

I've taken weekend workshops with Narah before, since weekdays don't work out for me. I'd totally be up for more weekend wokshops!

There is also a WV bellydance tribe:

West Virginia Belly Dance - tribe.net

that has more info on the Charleston/Huntington area.

Yay, live instruction!!!!

Hi Adrienne,
Please feel free to pass my name/contact info on to anybody who might be interested out there!

I'm not a Tribe member but I guess maybe I should suck it up and join...I'm trying to minimize my Internet distractions, and failing miserably...

Nisaa

will do!! Narah has a weekend workshop series planned for Feb, I'll see if she'd want a guest instructor for any of them, or for her next weekend series.

Thanks! I popped off an e-mail to Narah as well.

Best wishes,
