I think this quote says a lot about following your dreams, or not…and these girls took the plunge to take time to study and do what they needed and wanted to do to achieve some sort of life and dance goal.

Congratulations to some hard dancing dancers! Nina Martinez from Australia and Cinzia DeCoccia from Italy completed Collective Soul Level Three here in my little home town in Oregon! That takes time and dedication to get this far in my certification program, so

woo hoo to them! Awesome…

And if that wasn’t enough, Hilary Giovale from Arizona and Amanda Richardson from Wisconsin flew out to complete Teacher Training Level Three with Nina, and then all four of them continued on with CS4! They are the first to have completed this level of intensive study with me (except my own dancers, of course!)DSCF1180I’m impressed and amazed at the level of commitment these beautiful dancers have shown, lots of focus and stamina goes into this type of training, but I might add, a lot of laughs and good times too. What a lovely international connection these women have made, and to dance together is such a high, a joy, a passion…

Dance on sisters…

and thank you for your trust, loyalty, and desire to be the best dancers and women you can be. You are…

The Gypsy Caravan Dance Company, with the Caravan Dance Collective and the Caravan Soul Collective International dancers, 11 of us gals, drove the 12 hours from Portland to dance, shop, watch other dancers, and schmooze with the tribes…

and this just emailed to me…makes it all worthwhile! (thanks Lia!)

Hi, Ladies.
Just wanted to let you know that watching your group dance at TF10 moved me to tears – it was so lovely and for me, epitomized what Tribal Bellydance is all about.
Thank you!
