Details, including how to register are here. I already registered, because I [...]

On February 4th from 11-4 PM, Amity of NH is hosting Outi of Cairo at Amity’s studio in Lebanon, NH. The topics are Egyptian technique and meleya leff. Registration is here.

Fall is already gearing up to be busy, busy, busy. Here is a small sampling of events that I plan on attending: MassRaqs – Sept. 9-11. Workshops by Hadia, Karim Nagi, Katia of Boston, and Meiver, as well as two shows and two panel discussions. I’ve mentioned before I work for this event (many of [...]

I talked yesterday with my ballet instructor about getting people to sign up to workshops and commit. With my brief foray into helping workshop and class organization, it is scary and difficult work (and I don’t even have money on the line for what I’ve helped organize). It seems like we’re met with the some [...]

MassRaqs registration is open! Volunteering for MassRaqs is one of my big activities here in Boston. I’m really excited to have reached this stage in the process of the event.

I was thinking Rakkasah (either one) or Las Vegas Intensive. Due to scheduling and cost, neither one of those events was in the [...]
