BellyDance Ball Update!

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

Hi there Folks!
As you may have noticed, BellyDanceBall has been taking
a break this summer. Unfortunately, we struggled with
getting the automatic announcements to cease, so they
kept right on sending info to you.  Sorry about that.

That being said, we do not have the ball tonight,
Thursday, September 7th. BellyDanceBall will resume next
month on October 5th and will feature the fabulous
Sabura and her guests.  So mark your calendars!
November’s ball will feature our own adored, Sian.
We hope you will all come to support her!

More about Sabura:  http://home.att.net/~sabura

(They’re updating the site, so some things are still
under construction.)

You can find some details about BellyDanceBall below:
Belly Dance Ball is a “First Thursdays” event hosted
by Dahlia and Nadira at Kolbeh Persian Restaurant at 7pm.

friends and family, and belly dancer aficionados to enjoy

novice and professional dancers, students, and instructors
