My Blog

Not being able to access Tribe at work seriously cramps my Tribe style! I had friend invites I didn't even know about!

Since I haven't posted since June...I'll play catch up.

Third in Alternative music pro, BD USA. Not bad for not competing for 15+ years and gaining about 100 pounds. Dream couldn't compete as a troupe since we won in 2006 so Kamaria and Natasha did Duet and won it - Very cool.

Wow....what a great evening show!! The festival dancing was very nice...and Sahara's Dream managed their way through our audition for the Guild with only a few minor hiccups...but the evening show.... ka-pow!!

The Bijou Project opened the show, and may I say, I've never seen them look finer! Saw some great new numbers I hadn't seen of theirs - totally fun! They can always be counted upon for innovative, FUN performances.

Kendra blew my socks off, plain and simple. In a turquoise and gol... read more

Jodie snapped this pic during Unmata's workshop Sunday at retreat....Amy had just realized (on the fourth day, lol) that the remodel included bathrooms in the dining hall...

Her reaction was pretty hysterical....more so when Shelley said oh-so-casually..."oh yeah, I knew that".

My love of retreat is tightly wound with my love of Unmata. It's the first place I saw them perform ever - living in the sticks as I do, I'd never heard of them before that fateful retreat. My jaw literally hung... read more

My Testimonials

April 24, 2007
How lucky are we to have such a passionate belly dancer in Bend? Not only is she talented and inspiring, but professional and AMBITIOUS! Wonder why she's the only promoter in our town? No one else could put on a show the way she does! Thank you Sahara, for offering quality shows and instruction, for your leadership in getting our BD community organized, and for explemplifying the grace and style that we all hope to achieve!
Aloha,
Rasha

I have had the pleasure of knowing and learning from Sahara over the last two years. In that time I have been consistently amazed by her integrity and strength in the face of adversity. She is the kind of friend you can tell anything and be comforted by the anticipation of an honest well thought out response. With selfless nurturing support she brings out the best in others and is joyfully warmed as they shine. It is a blessing to have such a friend.
