From Bishop Timothy Price:

Thank You For Being A Friend
( Andrew Gold )

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

Maureen is someone to aspire to as she is dedicated to dance and works hard to achieve perfection.
She is super fit, attractive, intelligent, an amazing dancer and a lovely person. She is very humble about her wonderful qualities and will probably be embarrassed when she reads this!!!!
Good on ya Maureen

Thank you to Sarah and Deana (Kismet) for a wonderful Sunday workshop( ATS ) I think my beginner students have grasped a lot of he fundamentals- they just looked great dancing together in confidence, even having a go at the zills.

Thanks too, to those Nottingham girls, (Denise, Jenny and the rest) some whom i haven't seen for probably more than four or five years. Thanks for coming and making it so enjoyable and fun and stimulating. It was also lovely to see new faces and dancers learnin... read more

(Morocco, speaking to Kajira Djoumahna, Jareeda magazine , September 1998, www.casbahdance.org/KAJIRA.htm )

*****

As with Afra Al-Kahira, every bellydancer in the UK should know about International Middle Eastern dancer Vashti (Cathy Selford).
Uk ( London- based) she has been dancing for at least 40 years, having performed and taught i... read more

I have had a new contact concerning the Zambra Mora style, today, for all you devotees of this beautiful and elusive style. It was from myspace! It's from Ana Ruiz, whose website link www.geocities.com/alahabibi provides probably the most to up to date information so far. I am updating my own research here, as I write this blog.

Some aspects of it will be similar to Ana's and other areas won't, as some of this information is very new to me. I'd like to share it ;). Ana also has anothe... read more

This is the second of an occasional series of Uk bellydancers of note and ones to watch out for.

I wanted to write something about prominent Uk dancers, because British Bellydancers have somehow acquired a reputation of having poor technique, or are "just hobbyists" . Even if some of us are "hobbyists" or have poor technique, there are some excellent teachers, dancers and performers out there, who have out there a long while, and who should be mentioned with pride.

Afra Alkahira, is ... read more

This was a compact and well-organised set of workshops, open stage performances and a truly beautiful evening professional show on the Saturday night. I think a wonderful time of dance, training, study, hard work and shopping(!) was had by all.

I didn't see many of the open stage performances, which was a great shame. I managed to watch Neo-hips, and I was totally entranced. It was a circus-themed choreography, which was so unusual and different. I loved it.

The comments on the workshop... read more
