Guest Performers:

November is the Blacklight hafla.  We wait for after Daylight Saving Time switch and then we fill the gallery room with Blacklight.  Performers and audience members will glow if they wear reactive clothing (usually white, yellow, or neon colors work well).  Some also use LED and glow sticks.   Come see bellydance in a different light. 

Guest Performers:
Tapestry Tribal (NJ/DE):  The women of Tapestry Tribal love to dance together!  They perform a unique style of belly dance that has affectionately been called "Old School Tribal." It is a structured non-verbal language created in America, which is inspired by Middle Eastern dance with influences from around the world, including Indian, North African, Spanish, and Modern dances. There is no choreography. The dancers exchange lead and follow roles in a unique group improvisational format, supported and enhanced by the evocative rhythms and haunting melodies of their live musicians.    www.tapestrytribal.com/about.shtml

Liana(DE): Liana comes from the Wilmington area.  She started dancing in 2004 and has studied under various teachers over the years.  While she doesn't dance frequently, you can typically find her at the Delaware Drum and Dance haflas or at the Art of the Belly.  Improv is her motto so you never know what you're going to see when she dances.
