Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm working on
a costume right now. I forgot how much time and
work there is to sewing sequins onto a bra! I haven't
even begun the skirt, but I have a feeling it is going
to be awesome. I have Panta <br>Rei to thank for
featuring the wonderful link for costume patterns! I look
forward to showing it (in a picture, of course) to my
online friends.<br><br>Much love and happy
dancing,<br>Sahreiah

For everyone's information:  The best web site source I know covering EVERYTHING
involved with SF-Bay area Belly Dance can be found at– <a

Dear Artisitica,<br>thank you very much for your
kind welcome.<br>I started late with ME-Dancing though
this was my wish since I was a child (12? 13?).<br>Now
I take regular lessons since 10 months, many
workshops and seminars here in Italy, was on stage for one
real performance, and do (non-solo) dancing in
restaurants and night-clubs all the times it happens. Nice to
be here.<br>Tanja in Italy

Hi <br><br>I was looking for a place to see a Belly Dance in the SF Bay Area..
Does anybody know where...<br><br>please email me at sid143@...

I'm sure you look spectucular in costume,
Sahreiah, I too can't wait to see more pictures.<br><br>I
also welcome Tanja-Italy (Gael), I think it's very
couragous for you to stand up and publicly express your
love for Middle Eastern Dancing. You're welcome here,
Gael!<br><br>Artisitica<br>(Panta Rei)

Thank you, Oryx!  I wasn't fishing for a compliment, but I thank you for it. 
<br><br>Sahreiah

Oh my "Sahreiah" what a pretty picture and I can
hardly wait to see you in costume :-)! And to answer a
previous post either here or on another List, I think your
picture and homemade costume are very cute...Xandra_8!
~ORYX~

Thank you!  I posted my own pic in the 'Members' album, but I am not in costume
(it's one of the decent pics I have of myself).  I hope to post more (hopefully
in costume).<br><br>Hugs,<br>Sahreiah

You're welcome to post photos, Sahreiah, I've
created a few directories: one for photos of members,
another one for group photos, troupe performances and
other events. There are also directories for costume
photos, belts, bras, jewelry and accessories.
<br><br>You're welcome to start a new directory if you have
interesting photos that don't fit in any of the above! Say,
you want to post a photo of a bellydancer friend who
isn't a member, you could start a new directory, e.g.
called 'other bellydancers' or something like
that!<br><br>Happy dancing!<br>Panta Rei<br>~ ~ ~

Thanks for the sacred 'props', Panta Rei!  And I'll be glad to add my website
and OneList email community on the Links Page of this Yahoo! Bellydancers Club. 
~ORYX~

Dearest Panta Rei!<br><br>Thank you for the warm
welcome. I look forward to sharing and exploring with
fellow dancers. I don't have a photo of myself in
costume, but I could post one or two, if that is
alright.<br><br>Again, thank you and happy dancing!!!<br><br>Sahreiah

Hi, My name is Levanah (Elizabeth), and I live,
work and dance in NYC. Just joined this group.<br>I
need to learn more how to get started with <br>this
and to create a profile.<br>Feel free to say hello to
me.<br>Thanks. LEVANAH<br>levanah99@...<br>EALREV@...

Hi Oryx and Sahreiah, thanks for posting and
introducing yourself! I hereby welcome everyone who has
joined recently, great to see you all here! <br><br>I
hope that more of you will try and post a photo here -
just click on the Photos link at the top left and
follow the prompts to post your photo! You are also
welcome to post links to your sites or put events on the
calendar!<br><br>Happy dancing!<br>Panta Rei

My given name is Cory, but when I am dancing, I
am called Sahreiah. I've been dancing for a short
time (7 months) and enjoy every minute of it.<br><br>I
dance when the mood hits me like a bolt of lightning
from the heavens. That is when I feel most beautiful,
sexy, and womanly. The power that I have in my hips
still surprises me!!! I haven't danced in public yet
(except for classes, friends, and family), but I can
hardly wait for that day when I am bursting with so much
feminine and sensual energy, I have to share it with the
rest of the world.<br><br>I am interested in getting
in touch with other dancers in New York City to
exchange ideas and help make costumes. There is a great
source for classes and dance related services in the New
York Metro area: <a href=http://bellydanceny.com/
target=new>http://bellydanceny.com/</a><br><br>I
look forward to making online connections as
well.<br><br>Peace, love, light, kisses, and shimmies<br>Cory a.k.a.
bellydancegrrl a.k.a. Sahreiah

better. Still have questions? Then email me, so I may be
able to get to know you better as well!
Sensu-spiritually yours, ~ORYX~

A Sacred Hello to you, Dejah! Here is a website
that you'll probably find most interesting:
<a href=http://webperso.iut.univ-paris8.fr/~rosmord/nomhiero.html
target=new>http://webperso.iut.univ-paris8.fr/~rosmord/nomhiero.html</a> and let
me know how you make out. Also thanks for
becoming a subscriber to my Sacred_Movements at
ONElist.com email community! ~ORYX~

Hey, thanks! It was a great event to dance at,
and the photo ops were the greatest. I have a picture
of some of us from the troupe I was with
(Arkadas)also, perhaps I'll post that one and some other shots
from my photo gallery....

An alphabetical list would be what I'm looking
for; I'm trying to make cartouches for my cats ( and
me) but I am making a shrine in my backyard dedicated
to Bastet, and to the wonderful pets I have lost
over the years.

Pari - got in touch with Hilary, and she's sent me some stuff!  Looks like I'll
be dancing soon!!!

Do you just need simple words/signs? If so, I can
probably tell you the signs you need. I've also got a half
decent basic alphabetical chart, which you might find
useful! Email me, at nefer_t@...!!

Wow, Dejah, you look fantastic! What a great composition, the lights, the
flowers at the background, your arms stretched out, wow, and what a magnificent
costume!!!!

Hi, I wanted to know if I'd like to put a picture of me on the site, how do I do
that?  Dejah

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks - hopefully I'll be able to get something
sorted out!!

Hello,<br>Could I suggest you contact an old
friend of my Mum & me, Hilary Thacker. She is Edinburgh
based but also works in Glasgow and Selkirk. If anyone
can help, she can. She also does mail order teach
yourself videos, costumes and accessories. By the way
Artistica, has your daughter joined my club as well, if so
what is her name?<br>HILARY'S WEB ADDRESS IS
:-<br><a href=http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/belly
target=new>http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/belly</a>

I checked the directory at
<a href=http://www.shira.net/directory.htm#UnitedKingdom
target=new>http://www.shira.net/directory.htm#UnitedKingdom</a> and there was no
entry for Glasgow, but you may
want to check this and other directories yourself from
time to time. You can also try some contacts on the
directory that are close to you, perhaps they know about
classes in Glasgow. Have you already tried posting a
message at Pari's Club or her mother's club at
<a href=http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/bellydanceuk
target=new>http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/bellydanceuk</a>

Hi Pari, thanks for posting. I've just joined your club. Happy dancing!

Does anyone know of any??

Hi there, My name is Pari from
<a href=http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/paristeenagebellydanceclub
target=new>http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/paristeenagebellydanceclub</a> <br>I
have been dancing for about 3-4 years now,
my Mum is a profressional bellydancer and teacher,
and I am trying to encourage more girls of my age to
take up bellydance as a beautiful and enjoyable Art
form, which is great fun and really keeps you fit. My
Dad is a musician (retired folksinger) now playing
Oud and Doumbek. It's nice to meet other dancers. My
club is in fact open to All ages. (we have a couple of
non teenage dancing members who are really welcome
and capable of passing on tips and advice and a
different view of the Art. Hope to see alot more of you
all. <br>Happy wiggling, Pari
