TROUPE DAHAB

Dahab is Arabic for Gold, and fits our troupe well since we all live in California's Gold Rush country!! The troupe was formed in the Fall of 2005, and is directed by Aseela of Dutch Flat.

Belly Dance at Studio Z

Hello Dancers,

 

We had some fun with a drum solo routine and veil last Sat., and since there was some date confusion, I’m thinking of a repeat for the 1st Sat. in March.  So bring your veils and some good wiggle in your hips on Sat. March 5th 10:15am to Noon at Studio Z (55 School St. Colfax)!!  Workshop cost is $10.

 

Don’t forget that the biggest Belly Dance Festival of the West is coming to Richmond; Rakkasah is March 11-13, 2011.
