Yay! Thanks, Salome! There are some great shots there! Unfortunately, it looks like he didn't have clear shots of your side of the stage for the group number, but your solo shots are stunning!

Nepenthe, Yep - Salome did the drum solo (and also won first place in the Tito competition a couple weeks ago). Well earned, I say...

Carole, "Starstruck" is a slang word used to describe how in the presence of someone you admire, you sometimes are tongue-tied and feel unworthy. It doesn't suggest Nepenthe thinks herself inadequate, but rather - that she thought your performance was really spectacular. :-)

The fabulous dancer you saw with the cane was Brenda aka Zahrah of Rochester, NY. She's the director of a popular troupe in the area, Sahara Shimmer. One spitfire of a gal who, with her previous ballet training, you'd expect to see her flowing with veils. But she sure as heck rocked that Saidi, didn't she?

Dina, come back...
