I've been on the lookout for win-win situations for cross promotion for my ATS tribe. We love to dance and pretty much jump at any chance to perform. It is great to help out some one or some organization in the process. I've been toying with the idea of approaching coffee houses or restaurants.

DMA approached us after looking specifically for a dance/theatre company that was able to add a bellydance spin. We were hired to put on a theatrical production based on the exhibit. Hope that helps. Thanks for asking.

I was in Dallas this weekend and would have loved to see y'all perform. It looks awesome. :-D Thu, 28 May 2009 15:12:53 GMT http://bellydancebiz.tribe.net/thread/ad2770f3-412d-4b89-8f82-2e996dfcac10#ec78442f-79e7-4545-8e7a-08dd2a702045 Cahira 2009-05-28T15:12:53Z http://bellydancebiz.tribe.net/thread/ad2770f3-412d-4b89-8f82-2e996dfcac10#9866cd5c-c36b-476e-adb5-367d24bb7322 Just the two - they each took over 90 hours to design and paint. We had so much fun, though. I just got the DVD from the DMA today - can't wait to see it! =) Wed, 27 May 2009 23:53:05 GMT http://bellydancebiz.tribe.net/thread/ad2770f3-412d-4b89-8f82-2e996dfcac10#9866cd5c-c36b-476e-adb5-367d24bb7322 Velvet Fifi 2009-05-27T23:53:05Z http://bellydancebiz.tribe.net/thread/ad2770f3-412d-4b89-8f82-2e996dfcac10#c9600483-4c8e-48a2-9e7a-ec4500566f7c I suspect that the pictures do not do it justice. I counted two backdrops - were there more? Congratulations on successful project and performance.

Starbucks sponsored us coming in to do a completely original show for the Dallas museum of Art for the final weekend of the King Tut Exhibition. Backdrops designed and painted by me. Anubis and all other costumes (except mine) made by our costumer. Any silk you see draped or in costumes dyed and treated by me for our costumer to use. Deniz did all choreos except mine (I did the cane, the folkloric was an adaptation of a choreo taught to me by Becky Parlette). I was very happy to hear from the Museum personnel that we exceeded all expectations and they would be recommending us to Indiana King Tut Exhibit - hope they bite. =) Just had to share. Thanks for putting up with my shameless show-offed-ness. Now I have to go to bed and get up early for school (which is why I'm not here so often anymore...)
