Help! I need a photo for a class project QUICK!

Devora — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:50:46 GMT

Hi Dancers,

I need a photo of a bellydancer from the back... You know the one I am looking for, the steamy pose with the extended hip, lovely feminine curvature of the spine. I know one of you have to have that georgeous shot of you. I am working on my brochure for Therapeutic Bodywork and Massage for the Belly Dancer. What I want is to take that photo, crop it to show the pose and muscles and have it changed to pencil drawing. Yes, I intend to photoshop the photo so I won't be using your face or anything. Only you and I will know it was your glorious body.
Oh, and if your hair is out of the way it will be easier for me to do what I need to do. Shopping out hair and shadows are a pain for me.

I know this sounds odd, but I really didn't know where to look to find the shot I am looking for.

I will need the picture as soon as possible. I have a deadline of next Tuesday to turn in my proof for the brochure.

If you don't have the photo I am looking for, but know of someone who does, can you let me know so I can contact them to get the shot I am looking for, please?

Thanks so much!

Devora

Introductions

Marl — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 12:41:20 GMT

Greetings all,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am Seamus and I am friends with a number of you. I look forward to either seeing you again or meeting you after I return from working overseas. Otherwise, I hope that you all have a blast dancing, drumming or enjoying this beautiful art. As many of you may be interested in learning some Arabic, and as I know a bit of Arabic, I invite anyone interested to contact me with questions about the language, culture, history, religion or other related topics. I will be glad to help out. Otherwise keep dancing!!

Glam in the Oasis!
“Glam Battle 08”
February 9th, 2008
Please come and join Dalloua Dance Co as they host the 4th annual Glam in the Oasis Dance Battle Competition and Show!!

This year let us delight you with a new twist to our Night in the Oasis theme and a new twist on the competition circuit by introducing; “Dance Battle” competition in the round, an audience choice competition.

Haven’t you ever gone to a competition and wondered “Why the heck they pick that girl to win? I wish that we could have put some input on which we liked and enjoyed watching dance.” Well now is your chance! Come out and tell us who you liked! This is a chance for the community to choose those dancers they like to see perform and have them rewarded for it! Help us by crowning the winner of the “Glam Battle” in the Oasis. The winners will awarded with a trinket by which they can announce to the whole world that they are "Glam".

Now dancers don’t despair we’ve thought of you too! We will have several judges in the audience whose job is solely to give you feedback; by taking the pressure off for the judges, so they can give you the constructive feedback you need and deserve to grow as a dancer entertainer and performer!

Join us in the splendid atmosphere of Java Cafe while getting into the spirit of the Oasis! Sit back, and be enchanted by enjoyable Middle Eastern music and performances, while sipping some of Java Cafe's ice-cold beers on tap.

Be carried away by Java Cafe's great selections of coffees. Get there early for their made to order sandwiches, we can't promise they won't contain a love potion while your watching these wonderful performers mesmerize you with their talent.

After enjoying all that we have to offer, share your feelings on which one you thought was the most glamorous of the evening

Entry into the competition for the Dancers and Audience members is free, however donations are always welcome. So don’t hesitate to join us at our lively event!

Oasis Photos - Here's The Deal™

scottsquatch — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 18:24:34 GMT

OK, so each dancer will receive either a ZIP* file or a disc of his/her images in high resolution and web resolution for immediate posting on their website. Normally, each CD would be $25 + s/h, however, for Oasis I'm doing it a little different.

ZIP file of your images will be $11 ($10 if paying by check), a CD will be $16 ($15 if paying by check) to cover the priority mail shipping charges and cost of media.

The $10 will be given back to Dalloua for Samirah's honeymoon fund.

* Mac OS X users, if you want a disk image file (DMG), let me know and I will send you a DMG file instead. A DMG file is basically mounted as a disk on your system, and you can easily drag/drop from the image to other folders.

The Haunted Oasis showcase on Saturday starts at 730pm - 10pm (email dalloua@gmail.com if you would like a dance spot) offering a great performance by Jim Boz and some of Sacramento's best talent in a small intimate setting!

Please come and join the splendid atmosphere of Java Cafe while getting into the spirit of the Oasis! Sit back and prepare to be enchanted by the enjoyable middle eastern music and performances while sipping some of Java Cafe's on tap beers available.

Be carried away by Java Cafe's great selections of coffees. Get there early for made to order sandwiches we wont promise they wont contain a love potion while your watching these wonderful performers mesmerize you with their talent.

A Night in the Oasis

Russter — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 06:46:34 GMT

Thank you all for such a great night of dance this past Saturday. I took a lot of pictures and put some of them together in a photoshow. The pictures may, however, if you have a slower connection, take some time to load. Here's the link: http://photoshow.comcast.net/russell.young3

If the connection is just too slow, you can also access the pictures here:
http://www.russyoungphotography.com/events/JulyontheOais/

This second link, however, won't have music to go along.

Thanks again Mina and the Dalloua Dance Company for making Saturday happen.

scottsquatch — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 19:51:00 GMT

I would like to thank Mina for inviting me to photograph the event. I have posted /all/ photos I took from the event (the good and the not so good). I am sending CDs to Mina so dancers who would like copies of any of their images can contact her for full sized images. The web proofs are small (640 pixels on the widest dimension) to keep my pbase gallery from running out of space. If you wish to use any of the small images and you are the dancer portrayed in the image, feel free to use them.

The URL is http://www.pbase.com/wschappell/oasis_06

You will need to specify a password and that password is JavaCafe06 (case sensitive and it's zero-six on the end, not the letter "O").

Please feel free to provide comments/critiques. This was a challenging event for me being opposite a mirror, next time I will angle for a better, erm, angle.

I hope you find some you enjoy.

It was a pleasure enjoying the performance and thank you again for letting me be a part of it.

Anyway, I'm posting them in your Photos. I put the pics of Folk Infusion and Unmata & Neroli in their seperate tribes.

So I spun

Wed, 28 Dec 2005 06:50:50 GMT

I spun my flaming poi for the first time! It was on Christmas, out in the street. I didn't do too much exciting or impressive, but the people who were there liked it very much!

I'll post a pic when I get one from my friend Dynean, who actually took some pictures my second time out!

Hopefully, we'll be able to have a get together in a venue in which I can spin for all of you! It'd be so much fun!

more pics!!!!!!!

samirahdalloua — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 04:36:46 GMT

How can this be????
That we have so many pictures from North Valley????

It is not only due to our great costumes - we have to give most of the credit to Michael Baxter. Without him we would not have any pictures of this quality to put on our Tribe and our website.

and so it begins......

There will be more pictures soon.

Love you bebes!

North Valley Results for Dalloua~

Dalloua — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 20:16:43 GMT

SO we went, we saw, and we kicked ass! ;)

Adrienne placed 2nd place in the Novice catagory,

Samirah placed 2nd in the Intermediate catagory.

And even though I didnt place in my catagory, I had the best responce from the crowd and I think that Mark Bell played the best drum solo for me. :) As soon as I can work with the photos that were given to me from Scott and Michael B I will get them posted here for everyone!

Thank you to those that came and supported us, it was wonderful having some people we knew out there cheering us on. :)

Mina at Unmata's Blood Moon Afterparty

Predislava — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 19:04:43 GMT

Mina opened the Afterparty with a great performance. I loved the fact that she danced to industrial-type music... in a cabaret costume... with zilling! Teehee, only Mina:)

For those of you who couldn't come, here's the picture:

Cozy cafe filled with hippified/gothified/tribal-ified men and women, black eyeliner, dreadlocks, silver, sipping on raspberry-flavored latte, Mina's burgundy velvet costume, people in a circle, on the floor, in chairs, leaning against the walls, funky hair, big boots, Melodia pants, more coffee, Amy Sigil, middle eastern music, elf ears, bellies, electronic music, female energy, metal and coins, Jill Parker, where's the wine, so much beauty, autumn leaves, spiked collars, Unmata, glittery makeup, dance of two old hags. Oh, almost forgot, fake naked butt (...it WAS fake, right?... I didn't look close...).

'Twas fun indeed:)

Haunted Oasis review

Dalloua — Thu, 03 Nov 2005 21:17:48 GMT

Yes I know it's been two weeks. but damn I was busy. :)

So here it is..

Oh my gawd what a great night! I just have to start by saying that. :) I'm going to try and do a breakdown of the whole night of all the performers i got to see (though I did miss some people because of costume changes. ;O( )

Folk Infusion and Dalloua Dance opened the show, We did a great Eqyptian number and it was a blast, my husband came in and did Tatib and that was just great to watch and I think he got the best reaction from the crowd than he's ever gotten before. :) I'm so proud. Samirah Isvari and I just had a great time performing that piece and I swear that we've done it the best that time than ever before. I really felt like I knew the piece and I wasn't just stumbling over it.

Dalloua's Adrienne performed for the 2nd time solo, in her beautiful blue beaded costume she made. She did a great job even though she was more than nervous and was slightly shaking in the beginning. :) she had a blast, and you could just see the personality bouncing off this girl. :) She's HAWT. :) I can't wait for more coming from her, I'm so proud...

Unfortunately I didn't get to see Mystic Caravan perform, though I was told that they did very well and had a great time by their teacher Gina. She is such a trooper she went out there and did a mini solo on the fly to give us some time because we had some cancellations. :) such a great woman. :)

I have always loved watching Rayna dance. She can do some amazing stuff with her sword. She's also a kick ass dancer and right up there with the professionals. She helped me out by coming and performing that night with only 5 hours prep time. Now that is what I call a pro in my book. :) She danced to some of my favorite music that I had not heard in a long time. ;)

Nasiha did her first solo performance ever, and picked some "interesting" music. lol. :) I have to say that I was very proud of the fact that even though not everything worked out in the costume department for her, she still went out and performed and did very very well for her first time dancing. :)

Dalloua's Sapphire Lotus came out and performed a Duet skirt routine that was just beyond cute. I'm so proud of my Samirah and Adrienne, they have come such a long way and are doing amazingly well. :) after their little duet, they did "Thriller" oh yes, Thriller. I was laughing so hard you really have no idea. Sometimes it scares me when my girls tell me "no you can't see it" but good lord it's always good when they do let me see it. :) They had the crowd rolling on the floor laughing they were so funny. :) it was grand. and I couldn't be more proud of them. Alyssa did great for such short prep time. :) and I just have to say they did a great job finding the music and Choreography and adapting it to bellydance. It was just great. :)

Isvari's group Folk Infusion did a great number. I loved watching Avi and Dyana do their Zill routine. they have done sooo well. I remember Dy telling me "oh I'm not going to dance ever" yeah right... ;o) It was great to see Jieda doing Gaudra, good lord it gave me goose bumps. :) I know that the group just loved her and the whole experience. It's nice seeing a crowd get involved especially when they should with such a spiritual dance. Isvari came out and did a Bedouin welcoming dance, and I just have to say it's sooooooo good to see Isvari dancing again. She is really my mentor, and my muse. I couldn't have had a better foundation of belly dance than from her. She is probably one of the most inspiring dancers I ever see. it's wonderful.

My Slava is just Amazing. There is just not much else to say to that. :) She has gotten SO good at her pop's and lock's it makes me bounce in my seat to see it. She has come a long way from that very shy girl who didn't know how to dance and was scared to try. :) I am so happy that she's decided to stick to it and is even working with the Onyx Lotus to do a mini group number. Thank you Slava, you make me feel blessed to teach.

Then there was Kali Aditi, they did a bollywood fusion number that was just adorable. I couldn't have been happier watching them. They are a mother and daughter group who just looked so cute in their Semi matching outfits and their expressions were just wonderful. I got to speak with their teacher, and she is probably one of the nicest women I have met recently. I am so happy that they took the time to drive up from Stockton to dance at our show. Thank you.

UNMATA just blows my mind, every time I see them dance I want to cry. They are just amazing. I have said it once and I will again. I love these guys. :) THank you so much for coming and dancing at Oasis. "puff puff pass it along girls" *winks*

Being one of the youngest professional dancers I know ,Lu Lu is just amazing to watch. She's now going to Davis UC and so I hope to be able to see her many more times now. :) She's got spunk, and the energy to go along way. She does these amazing full body frezzes that just makes your heart stop. :) though I have to say that her "flirtatious" nature with the group helps a ton. ;) and she just made everyone goo goo :) it was great. lol :)

There is so much I could say about Mandanah. She's my "kick my butt" buddy, she's a phenomenal dancer. She's Shabnam's duet partner. and she has more energy than 20 people put together. And good lord can that girl zill. lol. :) She just keeps getting better and better and damn that girl rocks the house!

How much I love my Samirah, She's my assistant director, and my right hand woman. I really couldn't get ANY of this done without her. She is the one who makes sure that on the day/night of the events everything runs smoothly. She's the one who makes sure everyone is happy. She is the one who makes sure I can do what I need to to be a host. It's wonderful. Her performance that night was a new style for her. It was slinky and goth-like (got to love Halloween) and graceful. :)

I'm not sure what to say about my performance other than it felt good. :) I love dancing with Isis wings. Absolutely love it. My new black and gold costume is really really pretty. I love how it moves and how I look in it. And well, who dosnt love Onigo Boingo?

All and all it was a great weekend and I couldn't be happier with how it went. :)

Eatme Drinkme Bloodmoon Afterparty Review

Dalloua — Thu, 03 Nov 2005 21:43:04 GMT

I thought that I would be late to the Eatme Drinkme Afterparty because I had to perform in Petaluma before that show, Fortunately I was mistaken and was on time. :) Thank gawd. :)

Amy asked me to open the show so I did so in all my glitter and glam glory :) I was in burgundy and gold cab costume and had a blast dancing to impromptu music from the DJ Amar. I thought he was never going to stop the music though lol :) and I ended up leaving the stage very gracefully, before I out shimmied my butt. :) Many thanks to Sundara Varna who were sitting in the front row who let me flirt and wink at them. It's audience members like them that keep you out there dancing more and more.

next up was Sundara Varna, very cute in their fary outfits. They slink and moved across the floor in wonderful patterns showing the true strength of ATS impromptu cue dancing. It was great.

Then was Lorraine, who I just have to say I love to watch. I remember seeing her for the first time two Rakkasah's ago and thinking "Oh good lord, she's hawt" I know my sister in law (a beginning belly dancer at the time) was drooling and well I have to say she's just amazing to watch up close and personal. Her hair was done up in cool looking white and black braids and she was all poise and grace. It was wonderful to watch her expressions though out her short dance.

Then was UNMATA. What more can I say than what I already haven't... ok maybe... It's good to go down the rabbit hole... :op Amy is an amazing Choreographer and her girls are just as stunning. Thank you so much for putting together such a great group of performers and a great line up of dancers. I love you girls.

Then there is the most wonderful and graceful Zaheea. :) I've known Zaheea for going on 9 years or so (holy shit lol) and have seen her in alot of her "fazes" to what she has evolved to now. She was the first Cab dancer who I had ever seen who made me want to actually dance Cab, I also got my first cab costume from her oh so many years ago. :) isn't that funny. :) Her performance was wonderful. She's got great locks and pops and can do these kick ass walking shimmies that make her float on the floor. It's great to watch, and it's no wonder why she's #1 in the Sacramento area when it comes to Cab dancers.

Samantha Riggs and Boom Boom Bollywood put on a great performance. I have to say this was the first time I actually got to see them dance and I was thrilled. I love watching them bounce and move and do the bollywood movements. it reminds me so much of my time doing Classical Indian and just made me smile. They have such great attitudes and it was wonderful to watch them dance.

Jill Parker of Ultra Gypsy and Kristen Wilson closed the show with a fun duet with trays and a fantastic drum solo ending. I have seen Jill perform several times and it just amazes me what she has evolved into. Her style is very lythe and stunning. Not many can perform like she does and look like it take no effort. Its truly fun to watch.

I had a blast that night, and it was definitely worth the drive and panic of maybe being late. Thank you Amy and UNMATA for inviting me and thank you for always being so much fun. Oh and Luna, thanks for letting me give you back your pants... muahhh...

Cover up @ Fantasy Fest??

Isvari — Sat, 29 Oct 2005 19:23:02 GMT

Hi there,
If you were at Fantasy Fest did my black cover up with the purple embroidery possibly come home with you?
I hope I didn't leave it there.
I only wore it once and really liked it. That would suck!
