And please forward! Hi everyone! Well we made it through all the events, and THANK YOU one and all for your attendance and support! It's a pleasure to bring fun things to the area when people enjoy them. My Wednesday evening Catamount Arts classes run 6-7:30 through 12/17. There are no class on 11/5 (out of town), 11/12 (space unavailable), or 11/26 (day before Thanksgiving). I just got offered an opportunity to teach in Littleton NH for the remainder of the year. The venue would be the old Nautilus gym right across from Aylakai, which is reopening as the Powerhouse on Nov 1. We are looking at an hour or 1.5 hours on Monday nights for beginning and returning dancers. Anyone interested in this? If so, what time would be best for the class? 5PM? 6? 7? Joe Williams is coming to teach Delsarte technique on Sat, Dec 6 at Catamount Arts in STJ. . Why Delsarte? Because it makes you beautiful! Delsarte is all about about balanced motion, and it works perfectly with bellydance. It's the precursor to most modern dance, and it's a great technique for expressing emotions and intentions through movement. Joe is on the faculty of the Julliard School's Dalcroze Institute. We will have a Winter Farewell show that evening as well, so stay tuned for more details. Amity is doing lots of stuff this winter, though, so everyone can keep on dancing, starting with an southern NH NBDA Hafla 11/8 and Najmat coming 1/17/09: http://raq-on.net/workshops.htm Gina's annual show (always remarkable) is Nov 22, and it's HUGE: 70 dancers! Woodstock, VT 7:30 PM. See http://ginadances.com and click on events for more info. And Amity and I will be hosting Tamalyn Dallal in the summer of 2009! Love to all!
