Gothla US 2010: The Evoking - "Dances From the Underworld"

[rosehips]

2010 brings us the 3rd annual Gothla US - taking place March 5th-7th in Pomona, CA! Gothla US is the largest festival devoted to Gothic Bellydance in North America. Our theme this year is "Dances From the Underworld".

We have THREE days of workshops: Our featured instructors are: Tempest, Sashi, Asharah, Anaar, Shakra, Lee Ali, Princess Farhana, Kajira Djoumahna, Ma'isah, Lacey, Madame Raine, and Mortifera! We have carefully structured the workshop offerings to offer a strong foundation for fusion dancers, giving a breadth of coverage for the complete belly dancer.

Gothla US features TWO days of festival events - including festival performances, amazing vendors and artisans, a fashion show, panel discussion, live music, and more! + an amazing Gala show featuring instructors and special guests on Saturday night!

Plus we have expanded "Motif" - our live music and dance community gathering - by popular demand!

Just bumping this along, as it's less than 2 months away! So excited about this year - Gothla US is designed to offer dancers a strong foundation and variety of instruction for performers - so even if you're not into Gothic Bellydance, there's many great workshops that will still enhance and expand your dance - plus we will have several LIVE MUSIC opportunities both festival days - and yeap, that's TWO days of vending, performances, music, panels, etc - and SoCal dancers, if you have not experienced "Motif" yet, just that event alone on Friday night with the amazing Lee Ali is worth the trek to Pomona!

Hmmm...I have to figure out how I can get to the Gothla one day...

[rosehips]

Southwest Airlines does awesome deals - I typically fly into Orange County myself, and I know they go through Chicago! You can get a super great flight, and lots of folks room together, so you can have a great experience for not too much :)

And, I'm pretty sure we don't have a glitter vendor...
