List your On-Playa Belly Happenings here so we'll all know whose belly is shimmying. Where and when, if you know already!
Let's get this party Rolling!

    Iron Rose is spreading some belly-goodness on the playa!

    **Basic Beginner Bellydance
    (with Heidi!) Send your wanna-belly friends to learn taqsim, egyptian, arabic and other basic movements so they can dance along with you. This class was enormously popular last year, attracting more than 100 participants in a single session! Asst. leaders would be welcomed. (Must be able to belly, but no teaching experience needed.)
    Monday and Weds afternoon

    **Fabulous Fusion Shimmies
    (with Meliza!) A unique and exciting tribal fusion choreography that focuses on hip shimmies. Set to dynamic contemporary music, this session includes stretching, drills, a breakdown of various shimmies and a choreography comprised of shimmys. All skill levels.
    Thursday afternoon

    **Bellydance Party!!!
    Not just a Hafla, but open to the whole playa community to dance to middle eastern tunes, traditional and club. Bellydancers wishing to take the stage are welcomed, embraced and fed alcoholic beverages. All skill levels welcomed! (last year arabic musicians and a singer came and played! Will they do it again?) Come and dance with me, habibi!!
    Tuesday night

    **Bedouin Oil Bath
    (with Heidi!) Maybe our scrapers aren't traditional, but a middle-eastern inspired method of keeping your skin clean without water! Arms and legs only.
    Wednesday afternoon.

    (...and there's more coming down the pipeline!)

    An invitation:
    Want to teach something belly-inspired, but don't have the space? Talk to us off-list about using the Iron Rose Juke Joint for your session. Decorated in an arabic/bedouin theme and of goodly size (but not enormous), we're belly and drum friendly!
