It’s Monday, and that’s the day, we proclaim what our one more thing will be…
having such lovely weather, and happy solstice, by the way, my one more thing will be hang drying my clothes outside on my clothes rack, instead of powering up the dryer…how lovely to have the sweet scent of the true outside on my clothes… and avoid all that unnecessary power and energy waste…

and you, what are you doing this week to help?
let’s read all about it!

I am so honored, to know that my book has touched someone. That is such a reward for me. Here is a review by Zepora from Bhuz.com. Thank you Zepora!

 ”I just received the book, Tribal Vision, by Paulette Rees-Denis. I have only yet read the first 3 chapters, but all I can say is, “WOW!”
This is one of the most refreshing books I have read. It touches on many dance related subjects that are close to heart. It gives a nice history of American Tribal Style belly dance as well as Paulette’s own personal history. Tribal Vision also touches on belly dance classes, troupes, and the impact the dance has on women. Several personal insights by various dancers are given, along with beautiful, full-color pictures.
This book is a must read for all belly dancers. It is also a very beautiful book and would just look absolutely gorgeous on any coffee table, but you MUST read it! I especially love the way she talks about the connection belly dance helps women make with themselves and others.
A truly life-changing read”.

Ah, a filmmaker, Charlie Nano,  just sent me an email about this clip of a Gypsy Caravan show, t at the Fez Ballroom from a few years back! So fun to reminisce, and I especially love the view through the ghawazeeing hips! The song is T’yem—one of my favorites, from the Quest CD. Tom Cooper from Domba is sitting in as a guest musician with Jeff, Bruce, Hans, and Jared. Then Carol and Cammi play the big Italian tambourines on Allesandra, while Dulcinea, Michele, and Karen dance. Did you see Dulcinea’s eyebrow raise?
