I just want people to be thinking about these things. I know it seems like a long time away, but the more prepared we are, the better things will go.

In April will be the ND bellydance convention.

Also, in early April will be our recital/tribal hafla. I really hope these two don't cross...but then again, maybe it would be good for them to.

June: Suhaila will be in Milwaukee (so I've heard through the grapevine) doing her level 1 workshop. Let me know if you want to go. I think the cost is around $400.

end of July/beginning of August: Tribal Quest Northwest
ROADTRIP! I'm not sure how much this will be, but save up as much as you can. The workshops will be SO worth it...and the shows are spectacular...filled with groups like Fat Chance, Gypsy Caravan and Ultra Gypsy. (If the Winnepeg/Minneapolis people want to come with, let us know!)

September 3rd/4th...Carolena in Fargo
Hopefully this one won't be too expensive (certainly not as expensive as TQNW)...but if you can help out, let me know. I haven't gotten the contract yet...I'd like see if there's something about a show.
