Thread: Southwestern USA

Hi there:) I am driving across New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California for 2 weeks from April 10-24.
Can anyone suggest good bellydance teachers along the way. I would like to get in a few drop in classes (yoga classes too) while I am on vacation.

Thank you so much:)

I am in New Mexico, where are you driving thru, north south?

There is Amaya in Albuquerque (North) Amaya's Local Belly Dance Classes, La Luna Class, Private Lessons, Cedar Crest, Wise Woman, Manzano Recreational Center, Albuquerque,,

Anala in Alamogordo (South). Anala Nahada, belly dance class* instructor in Alamogordo, NM. director of the Silver Dunes Dance Troupe

I own a Hostel in the South if you need a place to stay.
Ava Fleming is in Phoenix Arizona. Ava Fleming: Performer, Choreographer & Instructor

Wow, thank you for that!
I actually might come and stay in your hostel. My husband and I have no set itinerary. We are flying into Albuqerque on April 10 and out of LA on April 24. We are going to rent a car and just drive wherever the universe leads us for 2 weeks:)
I will be going to Southern New Mexico for sure because I want to see the White Sand desert and I'd really like to spend one night at a horse ranch and a night or 2 in a hippie commune (gotta find one that accepts visitors - haven't looked into that yet either), but nothing is set in stone and we are trying not to book anything. We are going to let the road-trip make itself and we are going to follow along graciously.
If you have any suggestions that don't require committment, I'd gladly hear them:)

sounds like a great trip. My Hostel is about 40min away from White Sands, here is my website so you can check it out. www.cloudcrofthostel.com

My friends brother runs a guest ranch by Tucumcari NM (northeast), I heard great reviews about it here is there website "JX Ranch, a working cattle ranch and guest ranch in New Mexico"

I don;t know of any hippie commune beside Madrid (north NM), nice town on the turquoise trail, the might know more there.

Hope this helps and hope to meet you, have a great trip. :-)

Sorry I just saw you wanted a horse ranch.....there are plenty here, but don't know of any with guest facilities, goggle might help.
