Hi all,
This is a thought that hasn't quite finished itself in my own head yet, so I thought I'd post it and see if there were any suggestions.
Aside from doing a show based on this board, which I am still planning, I was thinking we ought to turn this excellent connection-building tool to our advantage. I enjoy the discussions a lot, but I think we could also try to expand our careers as dancers and the like. So I was thinking: what about a bellydance exchange, or something like it? Sort of like you can do a house swap when you go on vacation. I'm sure there are places everyone would like to dance, and I will be able to offer Honolulu in about two months. I could make a section of my website dedicated to a Bellydance Exchange, and everyone could post a little resume and videos so dancers wishing to swap can see what type of talent the other dancer has.
I am not entirely sure how this would work, but it would give dancers a chance to put something new on their resume when they are on vacation. As I said, the thought just occurred to me and I hadn't quite fleshed it out yet. Are there any suggestions? Would such a thing be completely impossible? If so, is there another way that we might, as a community, help to further each other as dancers? Perhaps some kind of education exchange would be possible (you teach me zils and I teach you mayas, etc).
What does everyone think?

I will try to offer possibilities for dancers who I know from this forum to give workshops and do performances in my city in Germany (Heidelberg), if they'd like to spend here their holidays. But I have to open my own studio first (as I mentioned in another thread, I'm searching like crazy for a place and I hope to find it until March).
