The venue for Mosaic IV will be the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre on October 12th with Mohamed Shahin and Katya Faris, and the Bellydance Superstars! They are doing a different kind of tour this fall as an off-shoot of their regular platform of 14 dancers; they are bringing 4 dancers to Bloomington to share a concert with us! We will do the first half of the show, and they will do the second half. SAVE THE DATE!!!
There will be dance workshops when they are here, so stay posted and I will get you more details!
Mosaic IV/”Club Bellydance” Dancers will be: Mohamed Shahin, Katya Faris, Leila Gamal, Ashley Donaldon, Kathryn Derloshon, Lindsay Martinez; Bellydance Superstars: Sabah, Petite Jamila, Moria and Stephanya .
I have the great pleasure to announce that the Bellydance Superstars have selected me to sponsor them for the Indiana show for their Fall 2011 tour! They are doing a different kind of format where they partner up with a local sponsor who puts together a 45 minute set for their show, then they do the second 45 minute set. I will be partnering up with Mohamed Shahin again for our Mosaic IV, and we will be doing his choreographies! Also, Leila Gamal and Salaam will be involved. This is the dream of a lifetime, and will also be a part of my Master’s Thesis Project in Ethnomusicology at IU, of which I will be graduating in May 2012.
The date will be sometime in October, between the 1st and the 12th. Once it is confirmed, I will have the posters, fliers and registration forms available! Stay tuned!!
I found this on the internet yesterday, and forgot all about it! This is a promo interview from WFIU at Indiana University in 2006 for Mosaic I, my first dance concert to produce!
