I'm a day late, but Happy Birthday!!! I'm excited to have you coming back to Vegas, and participating in the contest to boot!! Whoo hoo!!

Just giving you a head's up that our room block at the Flamingo is technically FULL. I am doing my best to secure more rooms and will post here should that happen. If we cannot secure more rooms at the Flamingo, we should be able to get rooms across the street at Bally's. I'll post an update as soon as I have one.

The Flamingo has given us a small extension on the room block. Please book now. Reservations Office at 1-800-835-5686 (on or before the cut off date of Monday Aug. 6th), and identify yourself as an attendee of the Bellydance Intensive using Reservation ID "SFBI10".

Woohoo! I can't believe this is just around the corner! My workshop material is ready to go, and I'm drilling choreography into my dance companies heads!!

Can't wait to see it! :) ... and can't wait to meet you!!

Gracious...I am so sorry it has taken me so long to check in on this thread. Some of you may have heard that 4 days after the event was over, my husband Bart, had a heart attack and wound up in the ICU. The good news is that he is home and doing well. Needless-to-say, I've been a bit preoccupied. I'm glad to finally be settling into the routine again. I have so much follow up work from the event, and I'm buried in emails...so if you haven't heard from me, please be patient. I'll get there.

I want to thank all the Bhuz folks who came to the event. It was a treat to meet so many of you in person this year. My only wish would have been to have had more time to go to the Liberace museum with you and lounge by the pool.

Here's a few of my favorite "What Happens In Vegas, Happens at the Intensive" memories:

--Princess Farhana telling dirty jokes to my conservative Dad. Hahahaha (way to go Princess)

--Eating Momo at the Mint Indian Bistro (ahem, yeah! hahahaha)

--Naughty photo ops with Fahtiem and the life-sized Donny Osmond cutout. ROFLMAO.

--Lotus Niraja at 3am in line at the Burger Joint..(is that really you?)

--Backstage shots of Vodka (thanks Princess!!) & Toni's flask! Whoot!

--OH! I really appreciated Coronas and limes!! Thanks Paul!

--And I was uber excited to meet Samira Shuruk. We've shared a name for so long!

--Walking down the hotel corridor to my room and watching 5 sexy dancers strutting towards me (mostly Kamuda girls, I believe). It was a very Charlie's Angels sort of moment. Hahahaha.

--Oh yes...and AMAYA!! Her performance was the final one of the whole weekend, and it was breathtaking. And then everyone getting up and dancing to the live music from Of The Earth!! Definitely one of the best moments ever!! Not just at this event...but ever!
