[Gia al Qamar]

Same here...I subb'ed to the new Habibi specifially to show my support to a fellow NYC area dancer and to someone who has supported the community with her Belly Dance NY website out of the goodness of her heart. I picked up the old Habibi on the newsstands and enjoyed it, but really wanted to support Stella's new effort, so I forked over my hard earned dinero for a subscription and rec'd only the first issue under her new direction.
I inquired about the status of the magazine a month ago and was told "Basically, I've been rethinking the magazine--what the field needs and what I can afford to publish. As we have learned to say these days, what's sustainable."As I had no clue what that meant, I wrote back this past week and asked if she'd made any decisions regarding it's future...I've rec'd no response.
