Raqs America - What's Going On?

[SatinWorship19]

OK. So we all know the Bellydance Superstars will descend upon our nation's capital on the weekend of June 20th for a kickass weekend of shows and performances. We all know Bozenka, Ansuya, Sonia, and other "greats" will be there. I know I'm dying to go, though I've already financed intensives with Suzanna Del Vecchio and Suhaila, and am planning a possible trip to Vegas for Aziza.

So where are all of the details? Why have dates, locations and registration details been established for Raqs L.A. and Raqs Britannia, but not for Raqs America? Is this all some cruel guerilla marketing scheme, wherein lack of information builds hype and "creates a buzz" on the internet? (Miles, buddy, if you're reading this, and I know you are, fill us in on your evil brilliant mastermind logic!)

Do any of you in the D.C. area have juicy details to pass along to me? Who else is going?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

I chatted with Miles about the event at RakW, and he said that they were hoping to finalize things in about a week. I'll be there, since I'm teaching and performing, and here's the line-up of others participating (per Miles) but it may not be complete: "The out of town teachers committed are Bozenka, Ansuya, Sharon Kihara, Sonia, Petite Jamilla, Kami Liddle, Issam Houshan and locally Saphira & Rachel Brookmire."

There's also a smaller BDSS event in MD the month before, show on May 23rd and workshops with Kami Liddle and Petite Jamilla May 24th . Details at Sestraluna.
