First fan veil class

Last Sunday was our first fan veil class and it was a blast!  Everyone did a fantastic job, we learned a few moves and discussed some things we might want to incorporate into our dance for Chanukah.  I apologize for not being better prepared, only 3 hours of sleep the night before didn't help!  For a good short video about using fan veils go to www.joyofbellydancing.com, click on Youtube videos and find the one that is titled lesson 2.  Hope to see everyone back in 2 weeks!

Changes to dance schedule for Feb.!

Dear Dancers,

Sorry to add to your inbox so soon with another email from me. However, there is an important time change that has come up and it was necessary that I make everyone aware so there is no disappointment.

WHAT?...  The next three Sunday practices (February 8th, 15th & 22nd) will be from 2PM-5PM.  Please especially note the earlier ending time

WHY?... Some of you are aware that many of us dancers have also joined a wonderful tambourine group. (By the way, we'd love to have you join us on Monday nights at 7:30pm-9:00pm at St. Matthew's Room C1...Red door off the playground.) The Victory Tambourines, as the group is named, is scheduled to march in the Lost Dutchman's Days Parade in Apache Junction on February 28th.  So in preparation, we are planning to practice our marching skills in the St. Matthew's parking lot on the above Sundays from 5:00pm-6:00pm while it is still daylight. So, we hope you will understand and know that this is a temporary change just for the above stated Sundays.

ONE MORE THING!
I failed to mention in the recent February schedule another 'save-the-date' event.  It is March 5th (Thursday) from 10AM-11AM at Chris Ridge Senior Living in Phoenix. Cathy Wilson of Chosen People will be presenting a Purim (Story of Esther) program and we will be.....dancing! This is always a joyous event and another opportunity to be blessed and be a blessing!

Tuesday, February 3, 2015

Colors for Feb.

The colors for February are:
 
6            green
 
13          red
