Hi! I'm known as Belle on other forums I frequent, and I've been dancing for nearly 4 years now. I've been with my troupe for over 3 years, and I really enjoy Turkish cabaret and folkloric styles.

My biggest dance hangups are my arms (I can't seem to get them to look "right") and by inability to do stomach work. Plus I have a terribly weakness for sparkly costumes.

I need desperately to get more involved in the dance community, and this is my first step towards that. I hope to get to know some of you a lot better!

Hi, from Ontario, Canada! Bhuz is a wonderful way to connect with the bellydance community. I have registered for "Island of Isis" in Loveland, Ohio, in May. I went with another dancer last year and we had a great time and it is a wonderful area. I'm looking forward to going again this year - maybe see you there?????

Hi Belle - Welcome to Bhuz! Whereabouts in Ohio are you? I'm in Lakewood, just outside of Cleveland.

Belle3wa · 02-25-2008, 09:54 AM

Hi Haleema! I live in Parma, and take classes in downtown Cleveland. We're practically neighbors!

Oh cool! I'm sure we'll see each other around at workshops and stuff (or maybe we have already?). Bhuz is a great place to get information and advice. You'll be amazed at the amount of experience and knowledge contained in the posts here. Plus I'm sure you've seen the swap pages, given your penchant for sparklies!!

Hi Belle, welcome! I'm in the Cleveland area too! I live in Medina but take up in Beachwood. It's nice to meet a fellow Ohio-an :)

Hey Heather... do you teach near rocky river? Just curious! I taught a one time class there and there's a bunch of ladies looking for an instructor. Send me an email if you are near rocky river...(within 20mins or maybe a little more)

to bhuz.

You've come to the right place for 'sparklies' ... Bhuz will keep you well costumed ... and broke LOL!

Belle3wa · 03-01-2008, 11:38 AM

I've already gotten hooked on the Swap Meet. That place is dangerous, especially when you're broke!

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone!

Hi Belle, and everybody! I'm from Columbus, Ohio!

ErikaOH · 03-27-2008, 10:37 AM

Hi Belle and everybody else!

I'm in Mayfield Hts., OH. I'm Level 2 certified in the Suhaila Salimpour format and teach (with Suhaila's "blessing") her Level 1 and 2 technique in Mayfield Village just off I-271.

Hope to see everybody at upcoming workshops in the area! I know there's one coming up April 11 -13 in Cleveland (Rhythm and Movement Seminar and Evening Show with Sohail Kaspar). Saturday is the Belly Dance seminar in Beachwood, and Sunday is a Drumming seminar in Rocky River. Not sure yet if I'm able to go, but those who are planning to go should have Bhuz nametags or something for easy identification!

-Erika
