hello from southern california

[calista]

hi all! i just discovered this forum while surfing net to find out about bellydancing in orange county california and so i decided to sign up to meet and hear more from bellydancing enthusiasts too!

[calista]

by the way, is there any bellydancers out here in the mission viejo region?

[nasila]

I take classes all over the place - an endless student of the dance. :) Just wondered if you knew of any good teachers in the area.

Mission Viejo and that area is home to Tina Enheduanna.

She's a wonderful dancer. Also you're close enough to Lilla in Costa Mesa. Also a recommend from me.

welcome Calista! so cal has a very active BD community.
check out Belly Dance L.A. and LA Raqs - Los Angeles Belly Dance for info on what's happening and teacher listings.

ditto that Tina Enheduanna and Lilla are great. and of course there's Angelika Nemeth at Orange Coast... but i confess i'm blanking on where that is in relation to Mission Viejo.

oh and doh! Deborah Peterson is in Rancho Santa Margarita, which is practically next door to MV. her bhuz handle is Casbahdance. she puts on the Market at the Cashbah festival in Fullerton every spring.
