YES!! That's the one! Thank you so much! {{blows a kiss}}

Does anyone know where I can get this CD? Dahlal Intl used to have it, not listed amongst available offerings presently. Audrena used to have it, clicked on the Audrena website and it jumped to the Chinese amazon of Alibaba. Tried again and not sure where it went, do you know if Audrena sold...

Slight change of subject. Does anyone remember Juliana from Florida from the 1970s? She was a jazz dancer from NY, she and her husband did a flamenco act on a cruise ship, then she learned a few moves and got into belly dancing. It was her fabulous body that was on the album covers of George...

Didn't Cassandra used to be in Minneapolis?

I don't know what year this happened, but there has been a lot of bigotry in the past 15 years, which unfortunately is getting institutionalized and impacting arts and cultural activities. Some parents react to cultural appreciation such as that mentioned above, as if it were a possible attempt...

I did not know the rest of Aida's name. I'm sure that must be the same one. And no, I never knew Schehera or even heard of her. I did take a private lesson in Cincinnati in my hotel room with a lady who was a student of Bobby's after her local teacher left, but her stage name was not...

No, bc the embezzler had destroyed a lot of the records but what was left was clearly embezzlement. She did an incomplete job of covering her tracks after making off with I don't know how many hundreds of dollars, probably close to $1,000. However -- a man she was having an extramarital affair...

Thanks!!

That is minor compared to what some of these ppl can do to you in person. My dance school got embezzled after the embezzler and her partner in crime worked behind my back for several months to steal my class students for private lessons with them - while they were on my payroll and after I paid...

Thank you for your comprehensive and very perceptive comments! Great job!

BTW what is your best recommended source for a baladi dress such as you wore to teach that class?

Authenticity discussion: I was teaching Serena Technique of belly dance which had Greek / Turkish heritage, in 1975-77. I had an Iranian student who went home to Teheran to visit her family. While she was there, they pressed her to dance for them bc they had heard she was taking lessons in...

when I click on the link for Jodette's page at tribe.net, the link seems to be broken. Can you supply a corrected link? Thank you.

I have finally figured out that what was called French nylon back in the day, is now called iridescent organza nylon. Beautiful fabric, changes colors, great for veil work. Hope this helps.

This reminds me of when I was running Carolyn's School of Middle Eastern Dance in Columbia, MO from 1975-77. (1) The young lady who asked if learning this dance would help her "sex off" her husband. I replied that I was a dance teacher, not a therapist, and that maybe they needed to try...

Amen to that!!

Is there any charge for groups.io? Great response, btw.

Hope you can enlighten humble little me. If belly dancers are joined at the hip w/ FB, wouldn't that make it a good place to get belly dancers' attention regarding a new belly dance group? And why does everybody else "know better" and avoid it? There's a lot I don't understand, and these are...

Paul Monty said Serena was THE teacher of belly dance. That was a huge compliment considering how many dance teachers he knew and hired for his workshops -- btw he was the first one to do workshops in belly dance, I think he got that idea from Dance Masters of America. He taught tap and ballet...

I don't understand why. All the local belly dance schools post their events on FB as well as class info which are always scheduled for a time when I can't get to them or else a location too far in this metro area. Can you suggest additional places to post my group when a goodly amount of ppl...
