The Glint just announced!!

The next Glint, a tribal bellydance event, has been scheduled for 11/14/09. There are 10 sets per show, performance by invitation only. However, if you want to be a part of the next Glint, to be scheduled sometime in January 2010, please contact me and show me what you got. I want this to be more than just hafla, I want the people who have worked the hardest and are pushing the most boundaries to shine in this show. Not being a snob, but I just hate that the only way we can get good local tribal performers together is to wait for the next big thing to be brought into town. Yet as well have something regularly occuring. This is Chicago people. Let's show them what we got.

New classes starting today!

I just started my first drills class at Arabesque. It will be Mondays at 6:00 pm. Will be suitable for all styles of bellydance, but there will be a tribal fusion lean. My 101 class will now be at 7:15 on Mondays.
