Incessant ramblings of a lunatic

Ok – I have been thinking about this for a while. I have been looking for an interactive forum for both Oriental & Tribal dancers to find out where the cool dance action is all around the world. I know I’m not the only one out there traveling. Bhuz does have a forum that is good but I’m looking for more…

So – I was thinking about starting a tribe with info on where to take dance classes, find out about seminars beyond the US , see dance at restaurants & theaters as well as places to buy co... read more
