Sword Performance

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to support us yesterday! We appreciate the effort and the support.

The performance went off well with only a technical fog machine glitch - so we're very pleased.

I will be at the Dominy School of Performing Arts Studio Open House on Saturday May 23rd 2:00 - 5:00PM celebrating the studio's new location! I hope to see you there. Mini classes and dance demos will be done and Ms. Paula will have lots of other neat stuff going on.

May Happenings Coming Up!

It looks like my advanced students and myself will be performing at the Conyers Fine Arts Festival with Dominy School of Performing Arts on Saturday May 16th. As soon as I have the venue and times, I will post them. I hope to see you there!

Also, on Saturday May 30th 1-5pm I will be hosting a Hair and Make-up workshop for students looking to explore the fantasy "Gypsy" look. This workshop is designed for my students who are participating in the June recital, but there will be good information for anyone interested in this theme. Jennifer Harmon, a professional hair and make-up artist, will be the co-instructor for the seminar. We will be covering stage make-up applications and achieving the "natural" look without disappearing under heavy stage lights and will also be looking at several loose hair styles that will give you that fantasy "gypsy" look. Those interested should contact me via tribe or at holliewilliams (at) gmail (dot) com for details and fees. I hope to see you there!

Fall Festival Thanks!

The performances went off without a hitch and everyone looked awesome! Daughters of Djinn were awesome inspite of wind we managed to pull off lit candles, sword and fan veil! Truly a miricle and a testement to our many hours in rehearsal! Halleyah Raks, the student troop, performed beautifully as well and got the crowd clapping and yelling! Awesome job by everyone.

For those who made it out to support us - we greatly appreciate it! For those who had to miss this, the day was beautiful, the festival fun and the belly dance amazing! We hope you'll be able to make it next year.
