Thank you Bonnie, you're the best!

The show at Ruby Room on the second Wednesday is on hiatus. It will restart in February at a different location. Confirmed by Sabrina Belly Dancer (the other Sabrina!)

Your feedback can help shape a new bellydance showcase in San Diego by the creator of Arabesque!

From Reza's email:

Hello and Happy New Year everyone,

We hope you've had a good start, and we sincerely hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone.

Our 2008 event took place recently and, thanks to those who took part in it, was a great artistic success. You're welcome to read about it by visiting our website. This email, however, is about something else.

We're writing to you because, in addition to our next annual Competition Event in September 2009, we're launching a small weekly "Dancing Showcase" at our Tee Rose Studio in Downtown San Diego. This Showcase will take place every Sunday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, approximately, and will feature dancing by various performers and instructors of Belly Dancing, Hoop Dancing, Flamenco, Salsa, Tango, Hip Hop, etc. All at no charge!

We think this will be a great opportunity for everyone:

* Instructors and performers get to meet to new potential students and clients;
* Up and coming dancers get to refine their skills and mingle with the professionals;
* Audiences will have a great time; (By the way, plenty of free parking is available.)
* And, if there is enough interest, we'll also arrange for snacks and a couple of vending tables.

You can help us make it a success:

* Your response will give us a measure of how well this weekly activity will be received. Tell us what you think, even if you're not going to participate. Suggestions are always helpful and welcome. Reply to teerosep6 (at) gmail (dot) com
* If you like to perform on one of these Sundays, let us know about a week in advance.
* If you have friends who might be interested, please let them know about our weekly event.
* If you're going to respond to this email, please do so at your earliest convenience because we hope to get started by early to mid February, with an announcement.

Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you,

Reza Mashayeki
