Let's start 2009 off with a shimmy! Our meetings will be the last Sunday in the Month, UNLESS it falls on a national holiday! We are looking forward to extending our invitation to other local performers to share our joy of the dance. Every month is "Hafla Night". Local dancers are given the opportunity to do solo performances. It is in a very postive and informal atmosphere. Attendees are encouraged to wear costumes or class attire (practice costumes). By all means pack your bellydance bag and bring a friend. You never know who will be in attendance.

It's a chance to practice skills, learn new ones, see what's new & who is new to the belly dance scene in St. Louis. When you sign up let us know something about you!

If you are a drummer, and are considering joining a group, you will get lots of practice! We love dancing to live drums!

**If you are attending the meeting, bring a "belly" gift for the raffle!
